HERE’S A QUOTE FROM THE ARTICLE THE NEW CLASSIC, IS DESTINED TO BE A MAJOR PART OF THE NIGHTLIFE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE REST OF 2013, AND BEYOND. THE ALBUM MARKS A MAJOR STRIDE FORWARD FOR AZALEA AS A SONGWRITER, AS EVIDENCED BY THE LYRICS IN “WORK.” IT’S A SONG YOU CAN EASILY IMAGINE AZALEA PERFORMING FOR YEARS TO COME. IT’S THE CORNERSTONE OF THE NEW CLASSIC, AND IT MARKS A MAJOR EVOLUTION IN HER GROWTH AS AN ARTIST. THE LP’S INSPIRATIONAL THIRD SINGLE, “CHANGE YOUR LIFE,” FEATURES A VERSE FROM T.I., AND WAS BROUGHT TO LIFE IN A CINEMATIC, SHOWGIRLS-INSPIRED MUSIC VIDEO.
“OH, THESE NEW SONGS ARE ABOUT LOADS OF STUFF,” SHE SAYS. “IF I WROTE THESE SONGS AT THE BEGINNING OF MY CAREER, THEY’D BE ABOUT ASS CHEEKS. ALL THE SONGS. NOW ONLY ONE SONG’S ABOUT ASS CHEEKS — OUT OF SIXTEEN. THAT’S GROWTH RIGHT THERE.”
