PSA and Nightbird will most likely be on the deluxe edition according to sza (but who knows if this actually happens) also justice for Hit Different wtf?

atp i'm going to become a music content creator too because i'm sure I have the same amount, if not even more, knowledge about flops and whatever he made his brand off of stay tuned for my first mini documentary about one of my flop faves girlies!

The EP is out Friday?

she must think her music is truly of the utmost quality to be parading on her twitter like she's azealia banks, which puts a lot into perspective.

her meltdown on twitter has been nothing short of embarrassing her stance on Dr Luke:

I wonder if she'd be allowed to tack unholy onto the album to scam it's way for a release lol. I highly doubt it though, Republic probably wants one of her own songs to smash

right! I don't understand why they would drop the ball and stop pushing her when the next single could've been the one to pop off! If you (the label) were the ones who failed to clear the sample and as a result tank the single, why don't you just invest into the next one and keep the campaign rolling? She had a nomination for the BRITS rising star award and failed to capitalize on the hype simply because she wasn't allowed to put out more music. Now we are close to 2023 and she's stuck releasing EPs every few years when all her hype has dwindled thanks to the constant hiatuses etc. I would not be surprised if she's resenting her label for tossing her career just like that rn. Hope she gets out of there like Raye and tinashe

oh, well i'll be using this version anyway since it's better than a bunch of stand alone singles

it's been very bad for her these past 2 years... someone with industry knowledge recently said the following regarding her career

welp it looks like her upcoming release leeked 1. FWMM 2. Somebody Like You 3. That Girl 4. Pressure 5. Archive Mami 6. Breee 7. Booty 8. Pick Your Poison (feat. Stormzy) 9. Hot Hot

she said something was coming in november last month, are we getting an album announcement on the last day of the month?

NO HAY LEY is a stand alone ala Solita iirc

this remains her best politically charged song ever

Sex Talk is like a lost LIZ track and I feel like she should totally just take over her hyperpop-r&b lane since she tanked her own career anyway. BTR 2GTHR was really good too.

the beats were cheap and redundant but they really could've been expanded upon with better melodies

can we even call EVOL a music video when it was just 20 seconds of BTS camera footage of the HTBAH video chopped, slowed, reversed and repeated electra heart the era that kept on giving. I admire Marina's dedication back then to filming literally whatever she could and calling it a music video

yeah electra heart was a brilliant and flawed campaign simultaneously. I still don't understand how only one of the four main archetypes actually received a music video while the other main songs (Homewrecker, Teen Idle, BB) received crumbs. Obviously the budget constraints only allowed her to do so much but she really should've done more of those "home video" types of visuals like Su Barbie A for the other archetypes!

in order to qualify as an album rollout, there has to be proof of existence of said album!

She's essentially a cross between Crystal Castles and Lana Del Rey, she's 18 years old, signed to RCA and has a huge smash waiting to happen (i'm yours) which took off on TikTok. She started as a duo with her brother before both becoming soloists, he still produces her songs. She's also written songs for label-mate Ari Abdul. Check out her music here:

so there's an album and it's almost done? we love to see it

this is tying with Joyride for worst album rollout of all time

I feel like this topic as to why azealia hasn't put out an album has been briefly discussed before but I think it's a bit deeper than you might think. The reasoning behind the absence of any Azealia albums is because one you attach the word "album" to any project, there is instantly a higher expectation attached to it. This not only being the same mindset record labels have (i.e. Charli XCX discussed this exact same thing with her 2017 mixtapes) but also the pressure is put onto the artist as well. An album is what defines an artist and for Azealia Banks, the fact that her singular album released in 2014 was that good is why she's still being discussed in the present day. The follow up to BWET is the only thing she has going for her at this point. So, putting out throwaway mixtapes and singles that she can easily take down in the following weeks or months (and she has) over the years doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things because "it's just a mixtape" or "it's just a song". If Azealia Banks released any album with her current production "team", an album that isn't of the utmost qualityyyy, she would be deemed over and people would move on and say that she's lost it. Azealia knows deep down she can't follow up BWET with some undercooked and unfinished product, so she hasn't. The first album had a multi-million dollar production budget and it shows. I feel like she also believes that her eventual album release deserves some press, promo, whatever and she knows she can't get that being an independent artist without a team. Her attempts of signing to labels in the end is for the benefit of an album release. Knowing Azealia, she usually screws it up somewhere down the line before we can get to that but that's always been the goal.

finally. i know @111 will be tuning in

what will happen: 1. Azealia will somehow convince and manage to get Parlophone to spend their entire budget on single #1 2. Single #2 gets no promo thanks to there being no more budget and azealia fumes 3. azealia attempts to collaborate with pinkpantheress (who is also signed to parlophone) but it isn't finalised (guess why) 4. azealia somehow gets coerced into releasing a valentine's day EP instead of one of the many projects she's promised over the past decade 5. azealia gets dropped after publicly shaming the label and melting down, any future body of work that was being worked on will never see the light of day rinse and repeat
