Lily Allen has given her latest word on the reaction to *West End Girl*, the album inspired by the emotional fallout of her former marriage
While her former partner has described the record as Allen’s personal interpretation rather than his own experience, the singer responded with characteristically measured praise for his work
Fans, however, detected a dash of dry British humour beneath the politeness
Allen has stressed that the 14-track project blends fact and fiction, meaning its revelations should not be treated as a literal account.
