Where does it say that he produced the song?
First impression is not that good. Hard out here is way better! I hope this song here will grow on me.

Sounds like Lile impersonating Cher Lloyd, who is already a bad copy of a lot of things.

Post by: Jules on January 14, 2014, 02:40:36 PM
Love it! <3

"Hard On Me" definitely has more of a "Lilly Allen feel" to it and "Air Balloon" really sounds like a Cher Lloyd-reject (it might even have originally been intended for her upcoming second album, who knows?) but nevertheless:
I love it!  8)

"Hard out here" is featured in the German series of "I'm a Celebrity get me outta here" and is soon #1 I guess.

Meanwhile they released the lyrics video for "Air balloon"

BTW

QuoteThe song gets its toy piano arrangement, creaseless beat and offbeat Kurt Cobain shout-out partially from Shellback.

Pretty basic song, and yeah does sound like a Cher Lloyd reject really. The pre-chorus is GORGEOUS though.

"Air Balloon" was like an "anti-grower" for me. I liked it at first, but with more listens it became sort of annoying.

I like this new song better.

Funny how she puts out the third song even before the second is properly released.  ;D

Can't wait to hear these ones! I freaking love Greg Kurstin.
Who else collaborates?

I love how shellback can write a super catchy song with only 2 chords. Ola - I'm in Love was stuck in my head for about a month straight, and it's based entirely around iv, III.

Lily Allen calling her new music "rubbish"

@RFWilding: "@lilyallen's new music is actually docile pop rubbish. So disappointing. She properly just wrote some rubbish to cash some cheques."

-->

@lilyallen: "@RFWilding what you've heard so far yes. All i can do is do my best, the labels and the radio stations won't play the better stuff."

I guess they're talking about the music we all love so much :D meanwhile I really like Air Balloon :)

It's produced by DJ Dahi, what an interesting collaboration!

Has anyone listened to the iTunes stream? Air Balloon gets some promotion here as it is featured for previews of a tv station here.

"He wouldn't let me change it", like REALLY?

She always wanted attention, but it's not like you can't do nothing about your own songs.
She didn't like the Sheezus project and she's been open about it, but I think she didn't elaborate well what to say about that subject.

This doesn't surprise me at all, it wouldn't be Lily Allen if she wasn't a complainer giving F** Offs to everyone.
She's not an unknown artist who can't control what's on the album and what's not.

Also, seems like she was having a good ol time in the music video. Did someone hold up a gun to her head as she filmed that?

Plus, if I don't like a song I don't put it on my album, chose it as a single and film a video for it.

That explains what happened to her career, after brilliant albums/songs with Greg Kurstin.

Looks like they were put on a session.
Around that time Shellback did sessions with people who don't usually would work with him...
