"On Friday, Allen released her new album West End Girl, which appears to concern her divorce from US actor David Harbour, with its highly detailed evisceration of an open marriage destroyed by a husband's emotional affair with a woman called Madeline. By Sunday, the press had already declared they'd found Madeline: the Mail on Sunday printed an interview with a woman claiming she and Harbour had had a relationship. Of course I've heard the song,"
"(Harbour, for his part, has not responded to the album's contents or to the Mail's claims.) On the song Madeline, Allen (or her character) sings about messaging a woman her husband has been sleeping with, explaining her worries that emotions are now involved: We had an arrangement / Be discreet and don't be blatant / There had to be payment / It had to be with strangers / But you're not a stranger, Madeline."
Lily Allen released West End Girl, which centers on her divorce from actor David Harbour and depicts an open marriage destroyed by a husband's emotional affair with a woman named Madeline. The Mail on Sunday published an interview with a woman claiming she had a relationship with Harbour and saying she had heard the song but feared publicity because she has a family. Allen's song Madeline includes recited text messages asserting that Harbour said the wife was aware and had given full consent, and the lyrics question whether emotions have become involved. Harbour has not responded to the claims.
