inuborg 4,136 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 From a user on ATRL: I tried to type what I could make out from the article. I did this all from my phone, the struggle. [?] represents covered, illegible text. ...released the four-track 1991 EP in 2012. It received rave reviews and should have been the start of a chart straddling career. Instead, the singer became embroiled in an increasingly acrimonious struggle with her label that resulted in a string of aborted single releases and the seemingly never-ending hold up to her long-awaited debut album Broke With Expensive Taste. "It got to the point where I was making songs hoping [?] that's what they liked, [?] weren't really [?] I liked." explains Banks, who cites her flop single ATM Jam, featuring Pharrell, as an act of her bowing to pressure. "It was a [?] because it wasn't [?]. It was a bit if a [?]. I feel." [?] by her label's inertia [?] lack of support, Banks took to Twitter and begged to be dropped from her deal. Her wish [?] this summer and [?] Broke With Expensive Taste [?] later this year it [?] label. "[?]. I can't really say [?] my experiences on [?], but obviously [?] and I'm very [?]." explains [?] released her first single as an independent artist, Heavy Metal and Reflective - a hard- [?] showcases a bubbling bed of electro and synthesizer. In a none too subtle nod to her major label experiences the video features Banks being rescued from a kidnapping by a gang of motorbike riding renegades. "It's completely allegorical." says Banks, who claimed that Broke With Expensive Taste has been finished and waiting on the shelf for over a year. "And that's the really sad thing. Now that I've gotten off the label I'm just now getting back lost time." Banks says the album, which features production by electronic artists Lil Internet and Machinedrum, and features a collaboration with alt rocker Ariel Pink, will come out "some time this winter". "Now that I'm doing this all myself I have to put my saleswoman jacket on, you know? I've had so many false starts that I need to do this in the most focused, potent and concise way, just so that I can get my point across and move on to the next album." As part of that process, Banks seeks to avoid the type of Twitter spats that, while often highly entertaining, have contributed to her reputation as a petulant diva. Most damagingly, her use of the word "f*****" in a Twitter quarrel with US blogger Perez Hilton offended large numbers of the gay community, for which she later apologized. "Any time that you saw me quote-unquote beefing, half the time I was just telling jokes, but no one can tell that in 140 characters in Twitter," says Banks, who is herself bis-xual. "I feel like people have this idea of me that I'm this really bitter person, but I'm not. I'm just cracking jokes. More than me being a homophobe. I think the major number one misconception about me is that everyone thinks I'm mean when I'm not. I'm just being funny. Or what I think is funny." Nevertheless, Banks recognizes that she at times overstepped the mark and intends not to make the same mistakes again. "I've changed a lot. I'm definitely not as desperate as I was then. You have to remember before my Universal deal I was dropped from XL and I had a lot of personal turmoil going on. I remember just feeling really desperate about everything, always feeling like I had something to prove. I was so afraid to be dropped from another label. So afraid to be broke again. So afraid to be without my lover. But I feel like I'm way more secure in my own skin and I feel like my soul has settled into my body now." So is Azealia Banks still the best b---h in the rap game, as she once confidently stated? "Of course." she replies without a second's hesitation. "In terms of contemporaries, I'm not even trying to be an asshole, but I would have to say that I don't think I have any." AZEALIA BANKS ON... Her new album: There's a whole bunch of these different influences on Broke With Expensive Taste. When you're from New York you just grow up listening to a little bit of everything and you become this crazy cultured person without actually having gone anywhere, so the album is completely reflective of that. There's uptown Spanish influences, downtown house influences, Brooklyn indie rock influences and UK garage influences, and then there's jazz and punk and all kinds of different things like that. Her lack of peers among female hip-hop artists: I don't really think there is anyone who has the perspective that I have on music. I feel like a lot of the female artists that have broken through are just really kitschy in a sense. There's no real artistic process behind it. Everyone is just like really trying to poach Nicki Minaj's influence. I definitely think that over the course of the last three years of making this album that I have completely transcended that kitschy female rap thing I saw myself as existing completely outside of that. I root for you. I love you. You, you, you, you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
