I know Azealia doesn't have the most sterling reputation in the industry, but I've always believed in her and her talent underneath all the trouble and ruckus she found herself in. She's taken a beating from past mismanagement and the blow-back from her own appalling misbehavior. Now, however, she seems like she's turned a corner in her professional and personal life. Thus, I think it's time for a new Azealia Banks thread, to celebrate the brand new invigorating energy she's radiating!
Stranger things have happened, and, after a change in management, she's back on Instagram: soundly posting there regularly. Her new single, 'f**k Him All Night,' a supposedly banjee bop is coming on July 9. Comically, it had the working title of 'Kanye West (f**k Him All Night)' because it was partially inspired by her dalliances with men affiliated with Kanye West. Fantasea II, the album, is set to follow this year (fingers crossed).

I doubt itโll be long before she becomes unhinged again but I hope the new music is good.

Considering weโve been waiting on this album for like 8 years now Iโm not holding my breath, and her output lately has been... uh, well, s**t, but the past few years have been something of a redemption arc for her so Iโll check it out.
That pride month video wasnโt even subtle though lmao sheโs pandering. Looks great though! Maybe the chicken sacrifices were worth it after all.

"Anna Wintour" went off, I don't remember the rest. I just hope she releases the damn thing already so I can illegally download and listen, because she's not getting a dime from me.

I understand your trepidation; I do! But something in the air feels different this time. I'm throwing my full weight behind Count Contessa this time around. Be sure to check out the track too; it's a groovy electronic dance-rap track!

Yeah, I agree, this isn't launching anything. Outside of the harsh mixing issues (the hook sounds like it was recorded over speakerphone). Where is the last half of the song? It's like she just gave up and didn't finish it.

I can't seem to find it on Spotify, but it's on Apple Music.
My initial impression:
I think the mastering was a stylistic choice, pretty bass heavy on the beat which makes it sound rattling. I wish the beat went a tad harder. Those being said, the mixing does need a bit of work: the chorus just kinda pops in and overpowers the vocal treatment of the verses. Overall, I dig this! The track vibes like rap sliding over a banjee electronic beat. There is some electroclash, and that one snaking synth in the middle just sounds so familiar to me. N.B. She trolled us really with the cover. She had a head-to-toe look complete with some Manolo Blahnik's on just for the single cover to feature a close-up of her box and nails. I mean I don't hate sexual covers, but where else will she use that cute look?

She's one of the headliners for Wynwood Pride here in Miami the second weekend of June.
Lots of people are excited, some are concerned, others are puzzled. Hope it goes well...

Who is booking a known raging homophobe and transphobe for a Pride event? Seriously. This is absolutely outrageous. I mean, yes we do have those few people who don't care if someone is a shitty person like Kim Petras or Travis Scott, but this is just so crazy.

Whomever booked her, rightfully has egg on their face. Seriously, who in their right mind would book her when you have a whole slew of people who deserve a spot on a pride stage. And her reaction is exactly what one would expect. Mess.

And her reaction is exactly what one would expect. Mess. Considering how rarely she does get booked to perform anywhere because of all those other things and issues, one would think that she would try to show a little gratitude and humility about it and at least try to get it together. I can understand some saying that it is refreshing for her to be totally honest about her feelings of not wanting to be there, but it's like, just be professional about it. It's a short set. The audience's reaction is actually quite subdued and I am surprised they didn't totally riot or something.

She looks heavily drugged in the video. Does she always seem like that?

So I worked at the Pride event both days.
I was there until 2am and Azealia hadn't been on yet. I decided not to wait because I was anxious that she would be a disaster at our event.
I am so upset that she would disrespect the attendees of Wynwood Pride in Miami. I have always stood by her brilliant musicality, but I don't think she cares about anything. I'm sad that she is so talented but will do anything to distract the world from knowing how dope her music is. She lost me.

She lost me after her tirades. If P!nk did that s**t Iโd abandon her ass so fast.
Anywho, this wonโt be the last we hear of Miss Banks.

Do you believe her when she said she was told a different time to start her set or no? Yes and no. The week of the event, I did see her set time was scheduled for 1:00am on the organizer's IG account as well as the billboards inside of the event. When I arrived for set up around 2:30pm, her band was doing soundcheck without her. What I don't know however is what they agreed to beforehand, so she very well could have been given an earlier time originally. I wish festivals let attendees know the performance schedule earlier! They even had Cupcakke go on an hour earlier the next day due to issues with the schedule. So things happen and I will give Azealia grace for that. My friends who stayed to watch her perform say that she went on at 2:50am, which is really late as the event needs to be completely shut down by 3:00am apparently. I give a side eye to the organizers and to Azealia.

I think there may have been dry ice in the fog machines. Not familiar with that allergy, but it's possible.
