Lily Allen has a reverse story: there's also a man behind every successful woman... in showbiz
Lily Allen implies there is a man behind every successful woman in the music industry. An eloquent example is Beyonce and Jay Z.
She is a 28-year-old singer who recently made her pop comeback after a pause of four years. The women behind popular male artists never get recognised, instead those men who produce female artists always become known.
She told British VOGUE editor Alexandra Shulman: "It's interesting that some of the biggest artists, if not most of them, are women". "You'll also notice, of those big, successful, female artists, there's always a man behind the woman-piece. Whether it 's Beyonce it's Jay Z, if it's Adele it's Paul Hepworth, with me it was Mark Ronson, same with Amy Winehouse. It's sort of like you never get that with men. You can't think of the man behind the man because it's never a conversation which is bought up. If you're Ed Sheeran nobody talks about who produced his music".
Her new album 'Sheezus' is intended as a tribute to Kanye West, despite her feminist strong belief. Her most recent album is a parody to his 'Yeezus', yet this parody is nothing more than a sign of "respect" and maybe recognition, we might say.
