Lily Allen has reportedly been approached by record labels as she plans a return to music for the first time in seven years. 

The Smile singer’s last album No Shame was released in 2018 and reached number eight on the UK Albums Charts. 

Lily teased fans about making new music last month when she revealed she was working on an unspecified project with singer, songwriter and producer Chloe Angelides and shared snaps in a recording studio.

And now a source has told The Sun that she was approached by numerous record labels to find out what she was working on after sharing the snaps.

One of the record labels to get in touch with Lily was BMG – who represent the likes of Kylie Minogue and Tina Turner – and said they thought her new music was ‘sounding great’.    

‘Lily has been quietly beavering away on new music for a while, on and off, but her schedule has been packed,’ the source said.

The source also revealed singer is set to star in a re-imagining of Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler at Theatre Royal Bath in the тιтular role in June, and she has been writing songs for a new musical. 

They added: ‘Lily is busy writing songs for her musical and right now she’s only thinking about that – but naturally she’s flattered by the interest in her, there is a lot of excitement around Lily.

‘She sold millions of records before, so it’s not surprising labels want to get her on board.

‘Lily isn’t rushing into anything though, she is a perfectionist and if she is committing to a project, she wants to give it her all.’

The British star has not released an album or single in seven years, opting instead to develop a successful stage career in London’s West End and launch a podcast with her close friend, Miquita Oliver. 

But recent social media activity suggested she is back in the recording studio as she attempts to move on from the recent collapse of her second marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour. 

Lily, who suggested her pop hiatus is about to end following her recent split from husband David, got to work at a music studio in Los Angeles last month.

Sharing an insight into her session, she posed for a series of pH๏τos on a sofa in between takes.

Lily looked stylish in a black long sleeved top that she teamed with a pair of green camouflage leggings. 

She topped off her casual outfit with chunky leather boots and pulled her hair back into a practical bun.  

The actress captioned her Instagram update: ‘LA sometimes I really don’t enjoy being inside you but this time was different. Till next time x’

Lily earlier revealed she was currently working on an unspecified project with musician Chloe. 

Other pH๏τos capture the pair hard at work, with both wearing headphones while Lily writes potential lyrics in a large notebook.

The singer turned actress has withdrawn from music over recent years, with fourth studio album No Shame – released in 2018 – her most recent output. 

Possible collaborator Chloe began working in the music industry more than a decade ago.

She has produced records for the likes of Jessie J, Jason Derulo, Selena Gomez and Katy Perry.
