The songbird has swapped the sunny pop songs of first album Alright, Still for dark, troubling ditties focusing on the negative side of success. She picks over the bones of a painful break-up on one track and confronts feelings of paranoia on another.

Frank and shocking I Don’t Know is about the pressures of living life in the public eye. She sings: “I don’t know what’s right and what’s real any more.”
She adds: “I’m being taken over by the fear.”
And on the touchy subject of weight, she sings: “Everything’s cool as long as I’m getting thinner.”
Meanwhile, I Could Say is a venomous dig at an ex – Ed Simons from the Chemical Brothers, I wonder?
Lil evidently wants high-brow critical acclaim with her new-found serious side – and she’s likely to get it.
