LILY ALLEN'S FOURTH ALBUM

Lily Allen has revealed details of her fourth album 'No Shame', as well as unveiling two new tracks that are taken directly from the record, the NME reported. The record is the first from the London singer since 2014's 'Sheezus', and it'll hit stores across the UK on June 9. "I believe that we as humans work through things by talking about them, and that's what making music is, for me. It's sharing things that you hope are going to connect with people...", Allen said of the record. "I think we are so led by outside forces in terms of the way we express ourselves nowadays, because we're so scared of what comes back. It's something I've always wanted to explore. It's why I went into it at the beginning, when it felt a lot more free." Hence, we presume, the album's title, 'No Shame'.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCKING ON YOUR SCREEN DOOR

Primetime Prine. The highly-anticipated album, The Tree of Forgiveness, is John Prine's first collection of new material since 2005's Grammy-winning Fair and Square. Rather than going out on a limb, Prine cultivated the themes that have brought international acclaim since the 1970s. For example, he can take a topic like loneliness and make it funny or heartbreaking. Prine teamed with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb to record in Nashville's historic Studio A, enlisting friends like Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, and Amanda Shires to sing along. The songs are new, although some had waited to be finished for decades, like a co-write with Phil Spector called "God Only Knows." Another incomplete song, "I Have Met My Love Today," now celebrates the unexpected spark that leads to lifelong romance - with a dash of youthful innocence. The musical arrangements may be simpler than on past efforts, yet his unique ability to distill complex emotions into everyday language remains fully intact. On Oh Boy Records April 13. Knockin' On Your Screen Door is the opening track. Go figure.
