Lily Allen has selected what could very well be the most important day of her still young music career. Well, that is if you believe her. Since unveiling details of her upcoming brand new studio album, Stuck On The Naughty Step, the British native hasn’t at all held back in expressing her feelings on the whole record release process. From her qualms with labels to fears over the album’s reception, the months leading up to the release of her sophomore effort haven’t certainly gotten Allen thinking - so much so that she has even speculated on her own future in the music industry.

The 23-year-old will finally be able to answer all her questions on February 9, 2009, the day Allen’s follow up to 2006’s Alright, Still will see its release. Along with details of the release date and expressing her desires to produce an album with some integrity, Allen used her recent MySpace blog posting to express a rather positive outlook on things…

I hope you’ll all love it as much as I do, I’m working on extra stuff in the studio at the moment , it seems making an album isn’t enough these days, some websites (not naming any!) wont put an album on their front page unless you give them exclusive tracks, not that i’m complaining, I am at my happiest in the studio so it works well for me, I just don’t want to put out sub standard stuff . I always thought an album was a body of work in itself. you take it or leave it . You wouldn’t say to a painter “yeah i love the naked ladies ,but would you mind painting their hair blonde instead of brown, and making their tits a bit bigger?” or ” the trees are really pretty, a few more leaves perhaps?” Maybe you would actually , ha ha .

That’s good Lily. But then again, we never really had any problems with your music in the first place. Just don’t retire on us and we’ll keep humming “Smile” all day long.
