Lily Allen wants a new image

Lily Allen has told friends that she wants to change her image before the release of her next album.

The Smile singer has become concerned that Parlophone are marketing her as a "party girl" and preventing her from showing a more sensitive side.

"It really bothers Lily that her record company make her out to be a crazy party girl. It couldn't be further from the truth," one pal told the Mail on Sunday. "'Lily's a pretty quiet girl when you get to know her. She's happy just to go to the pub with her friends or stay at home with her mum or dad."

Allen is also believed to have clashed with Parlophone over her plans to work with music producers in New York.
