In this bonus segment of The Process with Peter Rosenberg, Azealia Banks talks about her current single, "ATM Jam." She explains how the single came during the course of a writing session with Pharrell. He gave her two beats and asked her to write them as if she was writing for Beyonce (the other song she wrote was in fact given to Beyonce). She said that when she came up with the version of "ATM Jam" that has now been released, she "didn't even like it."
For Azealia, this song should have never come out as a single, as the Harlemite preferred it to be just an album cut instead. "If I were writing a book and I wanted to preview my book on Amazon, I wouldn't choose this chapter to preview," Azealia said. "There are better chapters in the book. This is a passing chapter." Azealia added that the song has an uptown Bronx vibe to it.
The video for "ATM Jam" just came out on Sunday. It is available on iTunes also. Azealia debuted the song at the Glastonbury music festival earlier this summer. Meanwhile, her debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, is on the way, and is slated for an early 2014 release. The album is expected to have appearances from Theophilus London, Toku Yasuda, and Kevin Hussein.
support the struggling rapstress of the music industry and watch her new video here!
No one will remember it, so it's no loss. If this is your pride and joy debut album don't slap a track on there that has literally NO meaning and you only did to make the label happy. If that was the case we would have an album of this months ago.
Azealia isn't here for it.
The public isn't.
The label isn't.
Pharrell doesn't even follow her nor talk about this song and can't even make the video OR a live performance..
Azzy's team needs to stop trying to make her mainstream marketable. It's not gonna stick w/out making her superrrr rubbish and basic. She doesn't need the mainstream, she hasn't needed it, she isn't it. Steamroll this crap track forever please.
let me do my daily act of good will toward mah fellow man and watch this video
