The singer, who is currently on holiday in Cannes for the annual Film Festival, said that she has “worked so hard” on the record.

“My next album is nearly finished. I'm on a two-week break and then starting a massive promotional tour,” Allen told the Sunday Mirror.

“I'm not sure when I'll have time for another holiday, so I'm making the most of it now."

Last month, Allen released two new demos on her MySpace page that showed a clear evolution from the sound of her debut album.
