Posted by: Jonjo Apr 15 2015, 04:44 PM
Iggy broke out of her "social media break" to inform us all of her upcoming collaboration with Britney Spears, talked about doing a monthly video stream thing and updated us with info on her 2nd album!
Iggy Azalea Dishes on Working with Britney Spears on 'Pretty Girls'
"Hi just wanted to come online and tell you all how extremely excited I am for Pretty Girls to be released & that we are going to perform it 2," she wrote.
But she didn't stop there. Azalea continued to tell her fans she's still off social media but wants to do a "monthly chat" with them. And she teased the work on her new album, calling it "work" type vibes that "earlier fans will be happy 2 hear."

Ooh that sounds interesting! I love her more commercial songs but Work is without a doubt one of her best and I liked those moments of The New Classic a lot too. Really excited for this

Here's some more info about it:
"Also my tour is called "The Great Escape Tour" and this name is somewhat relatable to what ill be naming Album2. I like the idea of me being kind of a musical escape artist for people. ^.^"
http://www.mtv.com/news/2023011/iggy-azalea-announces-great-escape-tour/
Jess Glynne: "I did a song with Iggy and I hope she uses it because it’s a wicked tune. She’s cool. Really cool. She really has taken off."
http://www.vulture.com/2015/02/ceelo-charli-xcx-and-kenny-g-on-iggy-azalea.html
Also later adds she co-wrote the track with Nicola Roberts and The Invisible Men are hoping Iggy will use it: http://www.capitalfm.com/artists/jess-glynne/news/iggy-azalea-new-song-invisible-men/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBdJ2XSYlUo
She's mentioned the focusing on solo tracks more as singles this time around quite a few times now.
VERY excited!!! Don't even care if it doesnt get as much success as her debut album as it'll be hard to match those achievements but she already proved wrong everyone who said she would never get mainstream success/put on album out/chart in the US etc etc so I just hope she keeps delivering with the great music and having fun now

Iggy is working on her second album, the followup to 2014's The New Classic.
"I just started working on it at the moment and hopefully you'll love it," she says in the video. "It's going to be super uptempo and fun and I'm working on having really chanty choruses so that I can have a song that's just me."

Her management confirmed it's coming this year too: https://twitter.com/IGGYAZALEA/status/591781825984335873

I reckon it'll be more UK focused
I can see the first single coming after PG.
Posted by: jmmc Aug 12 2015, 01:31 PM
Some news from the past few months, mostly from her Twitter:
i want to wait until im very close to finishing the album and pick a single then. what if i make something even better? patience.
its going to be a while for new stuff, im taking my time!! plus just enjoying making music without feeling rushed.
i have ideas but its like a child, you pick a few (album) names in gestation and see what fits when they arrive fully cooked. haha.
my new music is so NOT anything like fancy its sometimes scary since the song is very popular but i think its no fun if youre never making anything different sounding. i dont want to make anything and have ppl say "it kinda sounds like fancy".
i 100000000000% love all the new music iam making. its very unapologetic.
i think one thing i really loved with TNC era was seeing kids like it, before that i didnt really have childrens ears. but this new stuff i think is probably too left for a 10 year old. but you cant have it all, all the time. i think its awesome to see something trans-generational but i can tell you right now your granny wont sing along to the new stuff.
i dont think annything ive made on this new project sounds "trap" ish. its unique in other ways.
maybe, maybe not. probs not (attending the VMAs). hmmm just dont really want to go and do red carpet press and all that while im working on stuff.
probably (releasing a free buzz track), i usually do them so you get an idea of the project's sound. but i dont plan on any music being released this year, period.
There’s a song on my new album called “Middle Man.” I’ll let the music do the talking.
http://www.mtv.com.au/style/news/iggy-azalea-i-hate-seeing-my-idols-turn-into-washed-up-popstars
"What’s on the cards for Iggy for the rest of 2015?
Recording my next album. I’m so excited for everybody to hear it."
http://blog.bonds.com.au/people/weddings-workout-wear-more-with-iggy-azalea/
I shouldn’t be surprised. She did, after all, rap on her single Work: Two feet in the red dirt, school skirt Sugar cane, back lanes Three jobs, took years to save But I got a ticket on that plane People got a lot to say But don’t know sh*t about where I was made… How does she feel about the backlash against her? I ask. “I didn’t do anything different,” she says. “Everyone hated the same thing they loved one summer ago, which is kind of funny.”
With the benefit of time to reflect, is there anything she’d have done differently? She sighs. “I think everyone has things they wished they didn’t say, especially when you’re young, and especially when you’re an artist and you’re trying to get out there and you want to be more controversial. “It’s unfortunate if people make it about you being prejudiced or insensitive. “I’m not, and I don’t want people to think that’s my character. You wouldn’t, either. “Who would want that, besides Donald Trump?”
For now, she’s looking ahead.
She says part of cancelling the tour was about finding a new direction for her album, which she hopes to release in January, as the work she was doing felt stale. “It was important I made something I loved,” she explains. “Right now, I’m doing that. I feel really excited about it and I think my fans will be really excited about it.
“It’s nerve-racking when you have success to make something that sounds totally different. “Will people like it? Will this isolate half my fan base? I don’t know, but I have to take a risk and do something that makes me happy to come into work.”
Risk-taking is her bread and butter. It would be foolish to dismiss Azalea after what she’s already achieved. “I came into this pushing the envelope and I want to continue to, so it’s important I’m doing that sonically,” she says. “People will be very surprised. There’s no way they won’t be, because it’s very… interesting.”
What advice does she have for young Aussie girls trying to break into hip-hop? “Man, it’s tough but it’s worth it,” she says. “Just be unique. That’s kind of ironic for me to say, because I do rap with an American accent and that is me trying to fit in, but I still think I’m not stereotypical. “People want to see and hear different voices and unique individuals. “I spent a long time looking at my idols and wanting to make things the way they did, and sometimes I sacrificed my originality. “When I started experimenting, I had success, so that’s the most important thing.
Isn’t that clichéd? To really be yourself. “It’s hard in rap music, especially because there are a lot of stereotypes about what a rapper should be. “I think it’s cooler when you’re totally unexpected.”

More new info from her recent tweets:
"Also album update for the fans: Im in the studio as i type this, things are going great & moving along. 6 songs completed on the album."
Lead single released next year. Tracklist might be only 10 tracks. No deluxe version. Documentary being made about it. New music not as mainstream-sounding as her debut album.

I suppose PG was projected to be a monster, summer smasher.
Posted by: JosephBieber Sep 4 2015, 10:20 PM
Iggy's confirmed that she will be releasing a new track called Zillion soon 
Just a buzz single, not a proper release, to give a feel of what the album's like. Will also have a video
Posted by: jmmc Sep 4 2015, 10:20 PM
She's finally releasing new music soon!! A preview of the new album according to her tweets to fans
"I have decided i will release a buzz track & video fairly soon so my fans can get an understanding of what this new album sounds/looks like.
To answer some questions ive seen pop up: No, its not going to be my first single. it is intended only as an introduction.
To answer some questions ive seen pop up: How soon is soon?... Its soon enough for me to mention its happening with certainty. ;-) :-)
To answer some questions ive seen pop up: Is it "Middle Man"? No, its not... its is another song from my album called Zillion.
...i think its a good representative of the overall sound and didnt want to choose a single as the first thing you hear."
Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Sep 4 2015, 10:48 PM
i actually cannot wait! But you know she's gonna bomb because she's not doing collabs. 
Posted by: Jonjo Sep 4 2015, 10:59 PM
Wait is 'Zillion' the name of the single, or the name of the album (or maybe both)?
Looking forward to this though. She'll bomb, not because she's "not doing collabs", but just because the general (undeserved and unjust) backlash against her for some reason (I know 'Trouble' did well, but I think that was more down to the James Corden video). Really hoping that she can get some sort of success out of this!
Posted by: JosephBieber Sep 4 2015, 11:03 PM
The name of the buzz track she's putting out 
The Iggy backlash is really tiresome I think I hope she can overcome it like she did with Trouble!
Posted by: jmmc Sep 4 2015, 11:21 PM
Seems like she's going back for a "not so mainstream/top 40" sound like she had going during her mixtape days from what she's been hinting ever since she mentioned scrapping 6 months of work for the new album a few months ago so I think even Iggy herself shouldnt be expecting much commercially I'd say (unless she's doing this buzz track thing precisely to fulfill herself creatively and will then have a more radio-friendly lead single again (like the material from her debut album) ?)
Posted by: jmmc Sep 7 2015, 11:18 PM
She said we might get to hear the actual lead single "as early as December" too 
And she's also hinting the album is called "Digital Distortion" which I would LOVE!
Posted by: Jonjo Sep 8 2015, 03:05 AM
I hope that is the name of the album! I've changed the topic to correlate to that as "(Album 2)" was doing my head in 
I'll obviously change it once we have the official title, if it needs changing.
Posted by: jmmc Oct 7 2015, 09:52 PM
She confirmed the title last night and 2016 release.
And lead single is dropping this month It's solo, and so is the buzz track Zillion thats also still dropping soon.
The album is almost finished but she'll still pick some features now.
She also already shot the cover for it. Will also be doing a tour next year.
Posted by: JosephStyles Oct 7 2015, 09:55 PM
I am READY!! 
Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Oct 7 2015, 10:19 PM
Is the lead single coming or just that buzz track?
Posted by: jmmc Oct 19 2015, 01:53 PM
Supposedly both.
She said she's late (as usual) already tho
Posted by: jmmc Nov 15 2015, 03:13 PM
Looks like a new single might be coming soon: http://headlineplanet.com/home/2015/11/13/iggy-azalea-scheduled-to-perform-on-good-morning-america/

She also said the album will most likely be 10 tracks long and one if the tracks is called Elephant
Posted by: Juan Carlos Jan 9 2016, 04:55 AM
Iggy dropped "Azillion", which was uploaded on Soundcloud.
Posted by: Davidson Jan 9 2016, 10:41 AM
Wait a minute at this slaying this much.
I would even go as far as saying to that is probably the best beat she has ever rapped over. She really came out to prove a point with this buzz single, got me so much more hyped for Iggy 2.0. than I thought I would be. That outro is her best musical moment ever 
Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Jan 9 2016, 11:28 AM
It's a great buzz single.
Posted by: Serg Mix Jan 9 2016, 12:25 PM
It's great!
Posted by: HarryEzra Jan 9 2016, 12:28 PM
Excited for ha new era now great Buzz track
Posted by: burbe Jan 9 2016, 01:13 PM
Very decent buzz single!

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 9 2016, 03:56 PM
YES IGGY. Slay the haters *.* This is great on one listen, not one of her best but there's always room to grow (and most Iggy songs have proved to be growers for me anyway).
Posted by: princess_lotti Jan 10 2016, 06:19 PM
just listened to this! yeah, definitely a grower but THAT OUTRO *.*
Posted by: 🌚🌚🌚 Jan 10 2016, 06:36 PM
Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 Jan 10 2016, 06:49 PM
Quite liked it on first listen, but as Lotti said I'm sure it will grow
Posted by: jmmc Jan 10 2016, 08:51 PM
Great intro for the new era as a buzz track and since she's shooting a video for this to premiere before the first single, I'm sure the visuals will only add something to it as well as usual with her
Posted by: ♦ ketalina ♦ Jan 17 2016, 05:07 PM
it does make sense that 'KNAS' would be used as a rap beat, it has always sounded like one
Posted by: Dan_ Jan 17 2016, 05:35 PM
oh you had me excited for a second but turns out it only samples 'KNAS' rather than her rapping over its instrumental [well maybe that's a good thing as she could have ruined it]. not too impressed.
Posted by: Davidson Jun 11 2016, 02:53 PM
Official album cover.
Posted by: Cremey Jun 11 2016, 02:56 PM
Love that!
She's tweeted a video of her holding the physical and it's lenticular. Looks niiice.
Posted by: Liаm Jun 12 2016, 05:05 AM
Iggy is the first confirmed judge for X Factor Australia this year Bit random.
Posted by: Mackenzie Jun 12 2016, 04:02 PM
Bit random.I think this is a smart move, hopefully it'll fill the void before the release of her second album whilst hopefully allowing Australia to connect to her more as an artist.
Posted by: lotita Mar 2 2017, 09:22 PM
next song tomorrow!
Posted by: JosephStyles Mar 2 2017, 09:28 PM
YASSSSSSSS
Posted by: Jack Mar 2 2017, 09:55 PM
This seems to have come out of nowhere?! I didn't even know she was due to release anything new!
Posted by: mdh Mar 2 2017, 10:06 PM
Omg! Strange day to release what with there being loads of new music coming out right now, but I hope this is better than Team. I loved all of her 2013-14 era, especially Work and Bounce - but Team was a massive letdown for me.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight Mar 2 2017, 10:15 PM
yasssss hyped! Loved Team, so underrated! <3
Posted by: lotita Mar 3 2017, 09:43 AM
It's out but not on UK spotify!
Posted by: burbe Mar 3 2017, 10:31 AM
It's a lot more urban than I was expecting
Posted by: Cremey Mar 3 2017, 10:51 AM
YES at the Lil Uzi feature. Need to give this a proper listen but it sounds promising from the clip I've heard.
Posted by: Mack Mar 3 2017, 11:23 PM
I look forward to hearing this.
Posted by: jmmc Mar 17 2017, 02:08 AM
The new single "Mo Bounce" is out next week!
She's been posting pics from the video on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thenewclassic/
Posted by: Davidson Jul 3 2017, 09:42 PM
OMG hahaha
Iggy revealed on snapchat that none other than Azealia Banks is going to feature on a track on Digital Distortion when it's released.
Given their history, perhaps one of the most unexpected collabs of all time ? I am perched though, even just for the messiness of the whole thing...
Posted by: burbe Jul 3 2017, 09:48 PM
erm what?!
Posted by: Davidson Jul 3 2017, 09:56 PM
If they don't start the song with "It's Igloo Australia with your girl AZ" i'll be so gutted.
Posted by: burbe Jul 3 2017, 10:02 PM
What's next, Nicki Minaj ft. Remy Ma though? This is so unexpected
Posted by: 360Jupiter Jul 5 2017, 05:17 PM
No way! Maybe it's an unauthorized sample...
Posted by: Davidson Jul 5 2017, 06:21 PM
Nope, no sample.
It has been confirmed to be a new track by both Iggy and AZ on Twitter. In fact Iggy said that she is probably going to feature on Azealia's 'Fantasea II' project too so we might be getting this collab x2
Posted by: 360Jupiter Jul 5 2017, 07:13 PM
I am speechless. I guess good on them for burying the hatchet.
Posted by: lewistgreen Jul 8 2017, 04:52 PM
Rumours rife today that the album has been cancelled because of the announcement of no more singles from the era.
Posted by: JosephStyles Jul 8 2017, 05:02 PM
This gets messier and messier 
Posted by: tommie Jul 10 2017, 12:36 PM
Iggy's admitted on Twatter there there'll be no more singles from this album, but promised it will be released. x
