Skies said on Instagram that she co-wrote the songs with Allen “and the best bloody crew of pals”.
“Lily gave us her absolute all and more – very few artists are so open, talented, skilled, honest, self-aware, self-effacing and funny.
“She was so open, so collaborative and turned up with all the titles written out in advance – a rare experience and truly a testament to her vision and artistry.”
She thanked co-executive producers, Blue May and Kito “for steering the ship and bringing us all together for the wildest 10 days”, adding they had reached out to her a few weeks before saying Allen was ready to write.
“Making this album with friends I’ve known for years is a massive part of the reason I’m so proud of these songs. Please listen top to bottom,” she added.
Skies said she had been out in Los Angeles “for a good few years now and I miss home a lot but making a very British album definitely cured some of my homesickness”.
Skies, who adopted her great grandmother’s name, said she co-wrote Madeline, Sleepwalking, Let You W/in, which she described as “my fave”, as well as Dallas Major, Relapse and Beg For Me.
Let You W/in is one of the final two tracks on the album, where Allen accepts the need to move on.
