Rolling Stone 100 Best Albums of 2025 - Rated 33/100!

Lily Allen returns with West End Girl, her long-awaited fifth studio album. Written and recorded over an intense 10-day period, blending raw honesty with infectious pop craftsmanship, documenting elements of her time in New York with piercing clarity and insight.

The album follows a more cinematic style, with some sweeping arrangements and meditating hues; there isn't much dance pop or overly-bright modes throughout, and the beats on West End Girl slink, slide, and sizzle.

West End Girl is not only an example of pop brilliance, but also incredibly vulnerable, raw and honest, true to Allen's form. Simply, the pop pioneer has created the break-up album for the modern generation.

For anyone expecting the cheeky fun of her 2000s gems, there's no mirth to be found here. It's purely righteous anger, biting sarcasm, and cutting barbs, all draped in pain and disappointment. The bloodletting is cathartic and unexpected, making this a surprising maturation that makes Allen as relatable as she's ever been.
