Lily Allen's music is having a 'resurgence' online
Lily Allen's music is "having an actual resurgence" online among "young kids". 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."

Lily Allen gets huge boost after David Harbour marriage split
Lily Allen recently split from her five-year-long marriage to actor David Harbour and has since received an unexpected boost in her bank account, despite releasing no new music Lily Allen has opened up about her recent surge in earnings from her music royalties, which have unexpectedly seen a boost in interest after years of no new releases. Following her split from Stranger Things actor David Harbour, the noughties pop singer, now 40 years old, has seen a soaring interest in her old hits. Known among Brits for her classic tongue-in-cheek hits like Not Fair, The Fear, and Smile, the singer has been shocked to see her songs have a resurgence online. A new generation of Gen Z fans is rediscovering her discography, and in turn, the pop star is making more money from it than expected. Her work has gone on to inspire younger artists such as Olivia Rodrigo and Charli XCX, who have both credited Allen as a musical influence. On the most recent episode of her podcast Miss Me?, hosted alongside best friend Miquita Oliver, the singer admitted: "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." She added: "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." The hitmaker hasn't released a song since her 2018 record, Trigger Bang, and her big commercial breakthrough was almost two decades ago. Lily Allen currently boasts over 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and yet, the pop star has been candid about how she and other artists struggle to make money from their music. Last year, Lily made a social media post that went viral, poking fun at the industry's lack of income for artists. In response to a post on X claiming that the star had made over a million dollars from Spotify alone, she came back to say that she earns more money from making OnlyFans content. Allen created an account on the site, where she sells photos of her feet to people online, and shockingly, it's been a bit of a money grab. She wrote: "Imagine being an artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify but earning more money from having 1,000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. Don't hate the player, hate the game." The controversial account was launched last summer, not long before she and her husband reportedly split, and since then, rumors have swirled about the two's tragic ending. Admitting it all, Lily has found solace in her music, and she opened up about how writing has been an outlet for her during this difficult time. "It's almost like therapy," she described it. "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." She added: "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."

She will join the cast of Richard O'Brien's legendary The Rocky Horror Show as 'The Narrator', from August 11-16. Dancing with the Stars presenter Jennifer Zamparelli will feature in a rock 'n' roll musical at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin this summer. She will join the cast of Richard O'Brien's legendary The Rocky Horror Show as 'The Narrator', from August 11-16. Ms Zamparelli, who featured in comedy shows such as The Fear and Bridget and Eamon, will star alongside Australian star Jason Donovan as he reprises his role of Frank N' Furter, following a sold-out Australian Tour in 2024. The two will be reunited on stage having previously starred together there in the 2013 production of Pricilla Queen of the Desert. Ms Zamparelli said she was thrilled to be joining the cast, adding that The Rocky Horror Show has 'always been a favourite of mine'. "It's sexy, outrageously funny and it's going to be so much fun working with such a brilliant cast including my old pal – the legend that is Jason Donovan. 'It's certainly been a while, but I can't wait to get started,' she said. Ms Zamparelli, who worked on The Republic of Telly, both as a writer and actor, has a diverse career spanning theatre, television, and radio. The 45-year-old Dubliner appeared on the British TV series The Apprentice during season four, making it to week seven after presenting herself as a then 27-year-old marketing consultant. In 2008, she reached the final of the RTÉ gameshow Fáilte Towers. As a live broadcaster, she has presented Dancing with the Stars for the last six years. She left RTÉ 2FM in May 2024, following a decade with the station. Having been seen by over 35 million theatregoers, The Rocky Horror Show is the story of two squeaky clean college kids–Brad and his fiancée Janet. When by a twist of fate, their car breaks down outside a creepy mansion on their way to visit their former college professor, they meet the charismatic Dr Frank-n-Furter. Directed by Christopher Luscombe, The Rocky Horror Show features timeless classics, including Sweet Transvestite, Dammit Janet, and Time Warp. Tickets are available now through Ticketmaster.
