One thing that sparks the most is the subtle change of genre that Lily Allen experienced in her new single, Hard Out Here. Lily Allen that we used to know usually came out with indie pop music. Now, she is moving with the trend in the music industry and joined in the electronic sides.
Hard Out Here sounds definitely more electronic than Allen's previous work. Most identify it as synth pop, her new single has more of a dance beat and a lot more electronic sounds being incorporated in the music. The song has a quirky sound to it that is closely related to Lily Allen's work and the beat is very nice. She uses the electronic sounds really well since it does not sounds irritating or hides her voice in any way. And, as always, Lily Allen's vocal is still distinctly sweet.
Lily Allen is also known for her explicit lyrics and she never feel afraid to throw it all out there. Good thing that has not changed even a little bit. The opening of the music video is a huge parental advisory explicit content notice. Her lyrics is still slapping people on their face, as always.
Hard Out Here is talking about how the world is still full of injustice and women is still pretty much discriminated even though it is not as harsh as decades ago. In the music video of Hard Out Here, Lily Allen tried to depict the pressure and expectations that the music industry puts on you as they try to objectify women as this human beings who dance provocatively to please people.
The lyrics of Hard Out Here also came across to the listener really clearly. Lily Allen is really showing her disagreement and making sarcastic social commentary in the lyrics. Such as in one of the verse:
You're not a size six, and you're not good lookingOr in the bridge:
Well, you better be rich, or be real good at cooking
You should probably lose some weight
Cause we can't see your bones
You should probably fix your face or you'll end up on your own
Honestly, this is always a good thing to have in the music industry. Someone who picks up the wrong things that are happening (for maybe too long) in the industry and express it in a song: an entertainment and eye-opener all in one! Kudos to Lily Allen!Inequality promises that it's here to stay
Always trust the injustice cause it's not going away
