‘No Shame’ was 100% robbed of a Grammy or at least a Brit award. Edit: I think the album will go down in history as the last great britpop album.

[@AJ-cv9zf]

Nope 😆

[@brandonayong5823]

It totally was

[@procinito5605]

It actually was, it got nominales on 2019 but Jorja Smith won.

[@thensome8663]

100% Her best work to date

[@brrapbrrap]

I feel like a lot of people forgot that lily can actually sing really well. Especially with her ballads

[@spaceengineer1452]

Prob cause most of her songs sound like nursery rhymes...

[@Fopalope]

matured so much as both a person and singer

[@BrummyTom]

Fopalope as a person? You sure?

[@michaelkingg]

pretty sure

[@BrummyTom]

Justin in her autobiography she claimed her dad had a “cocaine induced heart attack” when she was 13. Turns out it was food poisoning. Suppose it wasn’t rock and roll enough for the autobiography.

[@michaelkingg]

she quoted something she said when she was 13 in her autobiography. thats kind of the point of an autobiography, to say the stuff you did when you were younger -- mistakes and all

[@BrummyTom]

Justin it happened when she was 13, she wrote it in her autobiography which came out this year. Her dad came out and said it’s not true.

[@lalamunns]

Reading 'My Thoughts Exactly' and checking out Lilly's new album. So raw, beautiful, human and fascinating. Wishing her peaceful, happy moments with her kids and self. Looking forward to hearing more from this artist.

[@JustaRadioboy]

I didin't know she could sing like this, this is amazing ..and beautiful lyrics

[@gengarrules777]

One of my fave songs from the album!

[@depressedboy2212]

One of my favs too! In my opinion is actually one of Lily's best songs

[@gengarrules777]

Depressed Boy yeah for sure. It really paints a tragic yet beautiful picture of desperation and loss.

[@seyfer79ct]

One of my fave too, she is amazing. Look @noemicostanzino

[@dilliviolet4000]

i've never heard lily as stripped back, sweet and gentle as this, it's a pleasure to listen to ♡

[@AngelaEvansLyricsGirl]

[@TheDennyBros]

[@wanganmidnight5395]

I know that you love me Though I'm young and stupid I am wild and ruthless You're better off without me I am more than selfish I am tired, I'm helpless If I had the time of day I might give all my days to you It's not always easy Being a family man Baby, don't leave me I'm just doing what I can To get by I've come to the land of the free I've let loose, I'm faithless I am lost and shameless But don't go forgetting me I don't like most people But I'm scared, not evil Every day has its challenges I just never know what day it is It's not always easy Being a family man Baby, don't leave me I'm just doing what I can To get by I hope we're gonna pull through But, darling, I need my time away from you I hope we're gonna make it through But, darling, I need my time away from you It's not always easy Being a family man Baby, don't leave me I'm just doing what I can To get by I know we're gonna pull through But, darling, I need my time away from you I hope we're gonna make it through But, darling, I need my time away from you

[@chuckiecheesy8686]

I have listened to this song at least a hundred times. Love it.

[@allymay97]

Lily will always be my favourite artist beautiful song

[@bcylau1]

Luv that husky voice from Lily.. an emotional masterpiece song too!

[@drababa2526]

something about this song.....its got me

[@RicardoRos]

I need a live version of 'What You Wating For?'

[@arez30]

Amo tu playlist del No Shame Tour en Spotify ❣️

[@arez30]

Yo necesito la versión en vivo de Come On Then

[@SnapClips247]

This is pure bliss and absolutely good for my soul. Just listening to her angelic voice is making my skin tingle all over. How anyone could dislike this is beyond me.

[@lilyallenandthediamonds1749]

When people say lily allen can’t sing I just show them this video then proceed to smack them for their ignorance

[@ngc-fo5te]

Well you're smacking them for a wrong reason. The performance here is poor from a vocal standpoint.

[@spud1252]

Who the fuck says that 😱

[@marinaheusinger]

Lily allen and the diamonds, this name just combines two of my favorite artists

[@lilyallenandthediamonds1749]

@@marinaheusinger is your name marina too? That’s so cool

[@marinaheusinger]

@@lilyallenandthediamonds1749 yes

[@debbiemaya]

Her recent music really shows her beautiful vocals

[@Danny.Thompson]

Lily is a star she writes all her own music and does not use Auto Tune like most of them do these days.

[@jacjacjacqui3843]

I’m genuinely surprised how good she sounds here

[@brandonayong7656]

Jac JacJacqui Lily allen has a great voice it's just some of her production in the past did not really do her voice justice but when you listen to her ballads it's always amazing

[@bootleg_24]

Triple j is the best!!

[@shannon26424able]

One of my favorites song ever from her!

[@beverleyellis6358]

Wow! Great voice

[@alexmartell1420]

This is a masterpiece

[@have7476]

Wow, she really killed it.I honestly came into this thinking this was going to be Mike Oldfield’s “Family Man”. This is so great I’m not even disappointed.

[@ValciSouza]

Que coisa mais linda.

[@garlant7989]

what a beautiful voice and song

[@thensome8663]

I could listen to this forever

[@YoGemmy]

Had to look this up after reading her bio and I'm pleasantly surprised.

[@lewisr7099]

Can't stop listening to this version, so nice.

[@haroldooficial4824]

❤

[@anyatristao7053]

Maravilhosa

[@maysafailure5306]

that bridge is so, so, SO powerful

[@RachelHolyfield]

Thought it would be a cover of Hall & Oates...while it wasn't what I expected I am pleasantly surprised at how much I like this song

[@apnotts1967]

What a beautiful voice, but I kinda miss the 'oright geezer?' accent!

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

apnotts1967 you wot mate?

[@stefanocaiazzakindergartenchef]

♥️⚘

[@ars4455]

I love singers who sing, don't scream...Lilly and Lana are the best

[@kingsofvagabonds5381]

Love those minor chords

[@americanliving4473]

I wish I knew the preamp or whole signal chain for her microphone. It sounds so airy. Great vocals as well, obviously.

[@australianoutback]

I can sell you those details

[@thertsman8233]

fuck me this is really good. what a bloody voice.

[@spud1252]

Hey 2020 isolation hugs to you xx from 2meters of corse

[@toofarpunk]

Signal chain on the voice?

[@emmyarellano3704]

Never heard this, who does it originally?

[@joshdrohan6150]

Emmy Arellano it’s an origin song, from her latest album

[@pittworldwide]

After the disaster that was Sheezus, she's back in career best form with this album. 3 out of 4 ain't bad! This is amazing!

[@TonyFeeder]

I am surprised Brits dont like her.. April fools!

[@AdvancedEliteGaming]

Oh.. I thought this was a Fleetwood Mac cover

[@mainepants]

Damn, I thought this was going to be a cover of Nitzer Ebb's Family Man kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnzUepymqcuJe7M

[@maxi-qh4gw]

I miss the Smile Era😪

[@jesusobinumedina8308]
