Lily Allen to release ‘West End Girl’ on butt plug-shaped USB drive
Christmas gift, anyone?
By Nick Reilly
Lily Allen‘s new album West End Girl is set to be released on a butt plug-shaped USB drive.
The singer-songwriter dropped her anticipated fifth album in October, just four days after she announced the project.
Allen’s latest record was written and recorded following the breakdown of the singer’s marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour, and it pulls no punches about his alleged infidelity and their time together.
Now, Allen has launched a NSFW edition of the album, which reflects some of the more risqué lyrics.
“Sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside,” she sings on the track ‘Pussy Palace’. In keeping with that, she’s now released a limited edition blue-and-white polka dot USB drive in the shape of a butt plug. It’s very much not intended for actual use, but the USB does continue the singer’s album in full. It is due to arrive on January 30 – pre-order here.
Upon release, Rolling Stone said that West End Girl was “the most brutal album of the year – that’s the point.”
“The story’s narrator has walked away from the disillusionment of divorce with not just her dignity intact, but with her voice honed,” wrote Charisma Madarang. “West End Girl isn’t an album about heartbreak — it’s about having the audacity to survive it.”
