Lily Allen is among the music stars who are donating new tracks to the next season of US TV show Girls.

The HBO series is due to debut its third series from January 12 in the US and its music supervisor Manish Raval told Radio.com that a host of big names are giving them exclusive tracks.

Allen, Christina Perri and Beck will all give the series brand new songs. He said:

"It's the same sound, same vibe, but one thing that's different this season is we've had the luxury of getting people to contribute brand new songs for us. We had Miguel write us a new song. We have a new one by Jenny Lewis. We have a brand new Lily Allen track. A brand new Christina Perri track. We were able to get our hands on a brand new Beck song, which he just finished for his new record and gave to us to put on the show before the release of his album."

Raval added: "We were in a fortunate position where we were able to get access to a lot of great songwriters and bands to give us new material or write us new material for the show. A lot of that stuff will appear on the soundtrack, which we're working on right now."

Girls stars the likes of Lena Dunham and it follows the lives of a group of twenty-somethings in New York.
