Lily Allen is looking to make a comeback in music this year, and the "Hard Out Here" singer won't be holding back. In a new interview with Q Magazine, Allen revealed that she'll be tackling two big, personal issues on her upcoming third studio album including her tragic 2010 miscarriage.
"It's a really sad, powerful track," Allen told Q (via Express.co.uk). "I hope it makes the final cut, because it's a really important song to me."
Allen lost a son when she was six months pregnant in 2010 with her now-husband Sam Cooper. According to ABC News, Allen suffered the miscarriage after getting a viral infection six months into her pregnancy and having a stillbirth. It was her second miscarriage; she previously lost a child with Chemical Brothers musician Ed Simons in 2008.
Since then, Allen has given birth to two healthy daughters, Ethel Mary (Nov. 2011) and Marnie Rose (Jan. 2013).
The tragic loss of a child won't be the only thing Allen will take on in her yet-to-be-titled new record. She's also looking to get a little political.
In a song titled "Chippin Norton," Allen will be discussing a party at PR representative Matthew Frued's house in 2011 and "the relationship with the people that print our newspapers."
A controversial, political single has already led the album. In November, Allen released "Hard Out Here," which takes on gender roles and expectations for women in the modern era (hint: people still just want women to be rail thin and to cook, according to Allen).
The new album has yet to receive an official release date and will be Allen's first studio effort since 2009's It's Not Me, It's You.
