By the Numbers
Thirteen of the fourteen tracks credit Allen; the fourteenth is the Keane cover, the only song in her whole catalogue she did not write. Kurstin is on most of the rest, with DJ Dahi opening the record and Fryars and Paul Beard producing the closing pair. The album's biggest chart success is the one track she had nothing to do with writing, which is an odd shape for a record by a songwriter.
Sheezus is Lily Allen's third album, released in May 2014 on Regal and Parlophone after a five-year break. Greg Kurstin produced most of it again. It topped the UK Albums Chart, helped by "Somewhere Only We Know", the Keane cover recorded for a Christmas advert that had gone to number one months earlier.
