Lily Allen is reportedly in discussions with a variety of record labels as she prepares to return to music.

The Smile singer – who released her latest LP, ‘No Shame’, in 2018 – has made no secret of her return to the recording studio and, according to The Sun’s Bizarre column, has been spurred on by the breakup of her marriage with actor David Harbour to get back to business.

“Lily has been quietly beavering away on new music for a while, on and off, but her schedule has been packed,” sources revealed.

“Her podcast ‘Miss Me?’ has really taken off and she is taking on the leading role in Hedda at the Theatre Royal in Bath in June, as well as working on a new musical she is developing.

“After she shared pictures of herself in the studio, labels got in touch to hear what she has been working on.

“She has had an approach from BMG, who think her new music is sounding great.

“Lily is busy writing songs for her musical and right now she’s only thinking about that – but naturally she’s flattered by the interest in her. There is a lot of excitement around Lily.

“She sold millions of records before, so it’s not surprising labels want to get her on board.

“Lily isn’t rushing into anything though. She is a perfectionist and if she is committing to a project, she wants to give it her all.

“She will focus on Hedda this summer and see how she wants to proceed with her music.”

It comes after Lily previously shared that she’d been working on new material in Nashville for her fifth studio record.
