Lily Allen goes on a long taxi ride in the music video for her newest catchy ditty "Our Time," the third official single, following "Hard Out Here" and "Air Balloon," to be lifted from the British singer-songwriter's upcoming third solo studio album "Sheezus," will finally hit shelves on May 5th through Regal Records; more than five years after her last collection "It's Not Me, It's You" in 2009. The artwork for "Sheezus" sees her sitting outside a stately home with her corgis, while the building is engraved with the Latin motto 'divide et impera' (divide and rule).
She's coming back to pop music in a big way. While Allen's "Hard Out Here" video was playfully skewered Robin Thicke's misogyny, her new single "Our Time" takes a page out of his VMAs twerking partner's playbook. The latest "Sheezus" track, celebrated with hot dog fights and flasks, is basically Allen's version of Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop," a girl-party jam that makes no apologies about getting drunk and high: "We will wear our drink til we lose our minds / Wanna lose sense of space and time / We're going through, it's how we do / Tonight we're taking over."
The satirical 3AM party anthem "Our Time," is more downtempo than previous releases and probably the best tune to be revealed from her eagerly awaited new album. The 28-year-old has been showcasing plenty of new material in recent months, including her addition towards the the popular "Girls" soundtrack. With a little over two months until the release of "Sheezus," the London singer reveals an equally entertaining video for "Our Time," which chronicles a booze-filed and drunken late-night in London through a familiar journey of grabbing food, getting into an argument and the long taxi ride home.
Directed by Christopher Sweeney, the boozy Lahndan-themed clip features a hilarious plot and shows Allen getting drunk and seeing triple with a number of different versions of herself in the back of a taxi cab, going for a wild ride, enjoying a night, performing the song, driving around the streets of London, and, at one point, wearing a hot dog costume and eventually getting into a fight with one of her doppelgangers. There's also some bonding, crying, passing out, stiffing a taxi driver, and stumbling home in the early hours of morning. And she's definitely on her worst behavior.
