Iggy Azalea talks Rihanna collaboration, second single
Some excerpts from her 1883 Magazine cover story:
Quote:

In light of her work with T.I., we enquire about future collaborations planned for her, including the rumoured record with Rihanna. Iggy arches an eyebrow, "If the Rihanna thing were true or it weren't true I wouldn't tell you either way," she says coyly. "It's for her to tell."

She then gives us some insight into the concept behind - perhaps the most significant point in her career so far - her debut album, the intriguingly titled The New Classic. "I just wanted my album to say 'hey, this is the new face of rap music. This is what it looks like, it looks like me, this is who's listening to it'. That's what I'm trying to get across, but not in a crude way."
She continues to discuss what the album is attempting to achieve, and its various sonorous aspects. "Work [the debut single] is the more experimental **** that's in there, and I've got more **** in there that's experimental in a way, but it's not all that far left. There's some rap in there, there's some dance in there. There's some stuff that's like, traditional song structure...," she rolls her eyes as if it pains her to admit to something so mainstream. We express our respect for her at putting out the more unorthodox Work as the album's debut and she shrugs. "If I didn't, people would think I was a sell-out. The second single is more typical. You can tell because all the record labels are ****ing ******* in their pants over it."
