Lily Allen asked how David Harbour would react to new album, affair…
She isn’t Harbouring any sick will.
Lily Allen has opened up about her newly launched album “West End Girl” and how estranged husband David Harbour would react to the document during a chat with Interview revealed Tuesday.
“It’s not a cruel album,” Allen, 40, said of the document, which was launched Oct. 24. “I don’t feel like I’m being mean. It was just the feelings I was processing at the time.”

The “Smile” hitmaker revealed that she wrote and recorded “West End Girl” over 10 days in December 2024, which was the same time she and the “Stranger Things” star, 50, separated after 4 years of marriage.
“I feel very differently about the whole situation now,” she mirrored relating to their cut up. “We all go through breakups, and it’s always f–king brutal. But I don’t think it’s that often that you feel inclined to write about it while you’re in it.”
Although some followers and critics have dubbed the new document a “revenge album” because its lyrics comply with Allen “processing” Harbour’s rumored infidelity, the English singer insisted that she doesn’t “need revenge.”

The album cowl of Allen’s newly launched album, “West End Girl.”
“That’s what’s fun about this record; it’s viscerally like going through the motions,” the “Not Fair” author explained. “At the time, I was really trying to process things, and that’s great in terms of the album, but I don’t feel confused or angry now.”
However, Allen went on to admit that she needed “West End Girl” to “feel brutal and tragic but also empowering” because it was “important” that she “didn’t sound like a victim.”
As for how Harbour could have reacted to the new album and affair claims, Allen refused to speculate. “I try not to think about that,” she said.

“West End Girl” marks Allen’s first album since 2018’s “No Shame.” The 14-track document begins with Allen and Harbour shifting to New York City following their September 2020 wedding ceremony.
After the “Fear” singer goes to England to star in a London play, she returns to the couple’s Brooklyn brownstone to discover that her husband has been texting another girl named Madeline.
Although the Daily Mail named the real-life “Madeline” as New Orleans costume designer Natalie Tippett, Allen insisted that she is a fictional character representing a “construct of others.”

Later in the album, meanwhile, the singer slams her “sex addict” husband’s “double life” and divulges that they’d an open marriage.
Despite remaining largely quiet about his and the “Alright, Still” artist’s cut up, Harbour opened up the rumors surrounding their breakup during an interview with GQ Hype revealed again in April.
“I’m protective of the people and the reality of my life,” the “Thunderbolts” star said before taking a protracted pause. “There’s no use in that form of engaging [with tabloid news] because it’s all based on hysterical hyperbole.”

The “Black Widow” star went on to admit that there was “a tremendous amount of change” in his life at the time.
“You can deny this change, be afraid of this change, you can kind of be chaotic about it and, like, eat your way through – whatever you need to do,” Harbour shared. “Or you can sit with however uncomfortable, or weird, or new, it makes you feel.”
