Allen’s “West End Girl” stirred up buzz after its release on Friday, with the album serving as confirmation that she and her husband, “Stranger Things” actor David Harbour, have split. Though Allen has said in interviews that the album is not to be taken as the full truth of what happened in the relationship, her scathing lyrics on songs such as “Pussy Palace,” “Sleepwalking” and “Madeline” have both shocked and delighted the internet.
In Variety‘s review of the album, chief music critic Chris Willman called “West End Girl” an immediate album of the year contender. “It’s the pleasure of listening to a master storyteller who makes your jaw drop by seeming to have spilled all the tea almost at the outset, and then the tea just keeps on coming,” Willman wrote. “Not since Boston in 1773, maybe, has anyone dumped it this massively, or this fulfillingly.”
