Lily Allen gets 'Naughty' on new album

Lily Allen has revealed new details about her highly anticipated forthcoming album.

The singer said that the tentative title for the follow-up to her highly successful 2006 debut is 'Stuck On The Naughty Step'.

�??In England, when kids are naughty, they get sent to sit on the naughty step,�?� she explained. �??Like a timeout, you know? I feel like I�??m stuck in a hole where people say, �??Lily, you�??re bad. Go think about what you�??ve done.�??"

Allen has been working on the new album in Los Angeles with producer Greg Kurstin of the Bird And The Bee.

"I haven�??t drunk the whole time I�??ve been here in LA, and I�??m up every day at 8,�?� she told Rolling Stone.

Talking about the recording sessions, Allen explained: �??Greg builds the chords up and I just sing along and make up the words. And then once you�??ve got the bare song, we decide which way we�??re gonna go with the production.�?�

The singer admitted to feeling insecure about the way her new album will be received.

�??I�??m really scared about what people are going to say,�?� Allen said. �??I don�??t know why. Some people will like it and some won�??t. If people hate it, then I�??ll just try something else.�?�
