She’s back!
Last month Lily Allen made a spectacular return to the pop charts after a three year hiatus with two singles: ‘Somewhere Only We Know’ and the one that put Twitter on it’s axis, ‘Hard Out Here’, and now here she is, playing it coy and sexy as the cover star of Esquire Magazine.
The outspoken Brit, and mother of two was tapped to cover the men’s magazine’s February cover on which they are calling her “Britain’s’s most explosive pop star.”
Check out Lily’s comeback in the photos below.
Explaining that her aim nowadays is not to fuel her ‘celebrity’ status but simply to focus on her music, Lily said:
‘I feel very lucky. I couldn’t ask for much more really. And actually I’m not really asking for much more. I’m not trying to take over the world here. I don’t want to be Rihanna. I want to sell some records, sell some tickets to my shows and live my life.’
On why she decided to retire from music:
‘I was at the end of my tether. I’d had enough of people constantly hacking at me. And I think once you’re exhausted physically and mentally, it does get you down.’
On her dissapointement in the world of fame:
‘I feel like when I was growing up and dreaming of being a pop star, it was the days of Britpop when things felt authentic and anarchic, and people were taking drugs and having a lot of fun and having sex with each other and it wasn’t fake, it was real. ‘So excuse me if I found it a bit disappointing when I arrived and it was a bunch of sterile f**king botoxed idiots that stank of desperation.’
