Lily Allen's music is having a 'resurgence' online
The pop star released four albums between 2006 and 2018 and had huge hits with tracks including Smile, The Fear and Not Fair, and Lily is now convinced the songs are finding a new audience on the internet even though she "finds it hard" listening to them herself.
During an appearance on her Miss Me? podcast, Lily explained: "I do find it hard listening to that music. I'm not ashamed of it because I think it was good for what it was at the time. And actually I think it does still stand up ...
"It's having an actual resurgence on the internet. I know because my royalty payments are going up. There are young kids that are into my music now."
She added she has been "been tracking the new wave of interest through streaming data".
Lily has been back in the studio working on new material and she recently admitted she's been using music like "therapy" after a tough year in which she split from her actor husband David Harbour.
On the podcast, she said: "Music is the one place where I can let it all go. It's almost like therapy. I like to write and record at the same time with somebody else in the room - there's something therapeutic about it.
"My producer or my co-writers become almost like therapists because I'm processing the things that I'm going through in real time ...
"I can do that in music, but I can't really do it when I'm talking to friends or my parents. It doesn't mean I'm being inauthentic ... I just don't feel like I can sum things up properly. But I can do it in a three-and-a-half minute pop song."
Lily previously admitted she hopes to release a new album by the end of 2025 after she finishes her stint in Henrik Ibsen's classic play 'Hedda Gabler' which runs at the Theatre Royal Bath's Ustinov Studio in Bath, England this summer.
During an appearance on 'Miss Me?', Lily explained: "Firstly, I'm going to go and get my head straight for a bit. "I'm doing a little bit of work on myself in this beginning period of the year, then I'm going to do some more writing, then I'm going to do my play, hopefully, maybe get an album out by the end of the year. That would be nice, wouldn't it?"
She added: "It's [the album is] not real, I'm just trying to manifest it now. Listen, I've got this. We're bringing Lily Allen back in 2025."

What Happened on Y&R Today? Cane Faces Lily's Fury Over the Deadly Train Plot
The Young and the Restless recap for July 29 featured Cane dealing with the aftermath of Carter's violent breakdown, Amanda urging him to regroup, and Lily shutting the door on him for good. Claire told Kyle about her father's death and prepared a quiet memorial with her mother. Nate learned that his brother Damian was murdered and reeled from the shock. Cane Refuses to Let Go Cane (Billy Flynn) sat in the surveillance room, still in shock, reliving the shooting that ended in bloodshed. Amanda (Mishael Morgan) stopped by to check on him. The police had concluded their investigation, backed up by the surveillance footage, and she assured him he was in the clear. But Cane didn't feel that way. Jill lost her grandson, and he couldn't stop blaming himself. Amanda reminded him he had been good to Carter (Vincent Stalba). None of this was his fault. He disagreed. Everything had gone wrong. But Amanda urged him to focus on the future—the dynamics had shifted, but the goals hadn't. She warned him that his enemies were circling, but Cane wasn't intimidated. He pointed out how close they came to breaking Nikki. Amanda countered that the whole plan had imploded, and they needed to rethink everything. Cane insisted they were capable of pulling something off—he still believed they could achieve something big. If Amanda wanted to walk, he'd understand. She didn't. 'I'll stay,' she told him. Once she left, Cane trashed his desk. Later, Cane found Lily (Christel Khalil) in her car before she could leave. He wanted to apologize. She didn't want to hear it. He said he'd be haunted forever by what happened and promised to make things right—even with Nate. Lily couldn't believe he still planned to return to Genoa City. She called him a manipulator and pointed out that he'd destroyed any trust they had. There was no coming back from this. 'Until we meet again,' he said. She begged him to stay gone. MORE: Find out what happens next on Y&R. Claire Prepares to Say Goodbye Claire (Hayley Erin) was shocked when Kyle (Michael Mealor) finally called. He explained everything—the train, the murders, the truth about Cane. Their phones had been useless, and they were trapped. Claire was stunned. Kyle asked about her father. She went quiet, then admitted Cole (J. Eddie Peck) had died. Kyle was heartbroken and promised he'd be home soon. They'd get through this together. Victoria (Amelia Heinle) told Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) that Cole was gone, and Nikki encouraged them not to wait for a memorial. They could say goodbye on their own. Claire agreed—but not without Kyle. Nate (Sean Dominic) arrived to offer support. He'd heard about the train. When Claire suggested postponing the memorial until Kyle could be there, Nate agreed. No one should say goodbye alone. Nate Hears the Worst Lily called Nate and asked him to step outside. She didn't want to say it over the phone, but there was no choice—Damian (Jermaine Rivers) was dead. Nate was stunned. He asked if it was an accident. Lily told him the truth. Carter had murdered him. He saw Damian as a threat and killed him to clear the way for Cane. Nate could hardly process any of it. Lily asked him to tell Amy (Valarie Pettiford) before she heard it from someone else. Nate promised he would—even though he knew it would crush her. He returned inside and broke the news. Damian was murdered. Victoria and Claire urged him to stay and grieve with them. He worried about Amy. Damian had helped her heal, and now she'd have to grieve him, too. Blame and Regret Fill the Train Back on the stranded train, the guests tried to process everything. Jack (Peter Bergman) was livid. He blamed Cane and his ego. Diane (Susan Walters) pointed out how off Carter had seemed. Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) disagreed—Cane shouldn't get all the blame. Billy (Jason Thompson) sided with her, but Jack was unwavering. Chance (Conner Floyd) died because of Cane. And Jill and Nina would be devastated. Billy admitted Jill (Jess Walton) would probably blame him, too. Jack offered to make the call, but Billy said it should come from Cane. Meanwhile, Diane and Audra (Zuleyka Silver) sniped at each other. Audra moved on to Sally (Courtney Hope), and they read Cane's welcome note again—this whole plan had backfired, and they still didn't know what he was up to. Kyle arrived and shared that Cole had passed away. Old Tensions Rise Again Billy reminded Phyllis of an offer he made before everything exploded. She reminded him how he'd already let her down—twice. Jack overheard, asked what was going on, and ended up in another round of bickering with Billy. Billy said things had to change when they got back. Jack agreed. After he walked off, Billy told Phyllis they'd talk when they were home safe. Audra and Sally agreed they had plenty to say—just not on that train. Kyle confronted Audra and accused her of dragging him into disaster. She insisted she hadn't lost Vibrante yet, but Kyle warned her: Victor doesn't tolerate failure.

Jennifer Lopez Wears $60 TKEES Flip-Flops: Shop Them Here
Wake up, everyone—Jennifer Lopez just dropped some new vacation pics! On August 1, took to Instagram to share some snapshots from her trip to Egypt, and let me tell ya, she looks ️🔥. More importantly: In multiple pics, she's rocking a pair of minimalist leather TKEES flip-flops that are (a) chic, (b) still in stock, and (c) actually affordable. A miracle! Here she is wearing 'em with a swimsuit and cover-up: And again with a cute lil sundress. Talk about versatility!! This isn't the first time has stepped out in these sweet metallic sandals, either. Just a few weeks ago, she was spotted wearing the same pair of TKEES while out and about in right around the same time, Jennifer Aniston sported a pair of brown TKEES with baggy jeans while walking around L.A. Need more evidence that TKEES are the It-girl sandal of choice? Kylie Jenner was also seen wearing a pair of black TKEES Lily Liners in Italy in early July (which, btw, are available on Amazon!). What I love about TKEES: the soft Brazilian leather, the minimalist silhouette, and—best of all—the cushioned insole for extra comfort with each step. TKEES are available to shop on the brand's website, as well as from Amazon, Saks Fifth Avenue, Revolve, Zappos, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, and more. There you'll find flip-flops in tons of styles (including the celeb-approved Lily sandal), including shades ranging from nudes and pigments to glitters and glosses. However! If you're looking to get exact Lily Metallics in Blink, then you'll likely have to buy them direct from TKEES, as they're sold out almost everywhere else! Flip-flop szn isn't over yet, so go score a pair of these cuties while you still can.
