New Lily Allen song! "Hard Out Here" [must watch]

Postby GenePeer » Nov 13th, '13, 06:50

Lily Allen is hands-down the best pop artist ever in the last decade. Ironically, she's hates everything pop and stardom and makes fun of it just like (Old) Eminem. Anyway, it has been nearly 5years since her last album. This is the new single, and it's epic.

Repeatedly mocking a Three Six Mafia song from a decade ago? Eminem's pop culture references aren't THAT dated. I think I see what Lily Allen was attempting to do, but she failed. This is awful.

:laughing: Mocking Three Six Mafia. What the hell, you just listened to the one line in the chorus and formed an opinion. Or did she strike a chord and you're fighting back as a knee-jerk reaction? :wave:

And if she is indeed trying to point out hypocrisy in the way the media depicts women, I agree with her position. So you're way off base there. No need to be so defensive. I just personally don't think the song or the video are any good. It's unfunny enough to take away any social commentary it might have otherwise had. Simply agreeing with an artist's views doesn't make the music good.

If you want to see something sort of similar that I think is funny, intelligent, and musically appealing, check this out. It's more focused on comedy than satire, but the mocking of douchebro Entourage types is quite enjoyable.

Why must it be a direct reference? Maybe the song title has just creeped into normal talk, but saying "life is out here for a [insert demographic here]" is common around me; I've always taken it as your average figure of speech. I didn't even think of that song when I heard this one.

I honestly feel the exact same way about your video. I see what they're doing but I find nothing musically appealing in your video. I guess it's a matter of taste.

Edit: I listened to other songs on the channel. "The Loophole" is much better than the Douche song. And Lily's song (not the video) was not even trying to be funny; so you shouldn't be judging it for not being funny.

Her first album was pretty good, witty and clever but I haven't liked anything since. This is funny and silly but I wouldn't watch or listen to it again.

It's like a less funny, waaay less subtle version of The Fear.
The Fear is still one of my top 10 fav songs of all time though, anybody know if the rest of the album is similar?

I think she got tired of making subtle jibes and went all out on this song lol.

I haven't seen anything on the new album. I sure hope not; it sounds like a song out of It's Not Me, It's You. I always loved how her first two albums sounded nothing alike.

My fav Lily Allen songs -
"Littlest Things", "22", "Everything's Just Wonderful", "Fuck You", and "The Fear."
