Lily Allen has published two new demos, ‘I Don’t Know’ and ‘I Could Say’, online for fans to “get an idea of my new direction”.

In a message on her MySpace, the singer said that she was working hard in the studio on the follow-up to her number one debut album ‘Alright Still’.

“They are just at a demo stage so don't be too hard on them,” she said.

“I'll probably swap some others around and play you stuff as I do it in the studio, like I did last time round.”

Allen, who shot to fame thanks to the social networking site, also said that she would post a new mixtape shortly.

Despite the emergence of new material, Allen has yet to reveal when her second album will be released.
