By the way, I'm digging through Azealias old interviews, and look what I've found
Quote:
Pitchfork: You're about to sign with a label, but you've gotten pretty far without one. Have you considered a more independent route?
AB: Yeah, but for how I want to do this thing-- and I don't even really know what the **** "this thing" is yet-- but considering how ambitious my ideas are musically, I definitely need a label that will really get it out there. I'm not really scared of major labels. I just want to work where I'm allowed to make mistakes and do my own thing rather than get into a situation where someone else has their own agenda of what they want me to be. (OMG )
Pitchfork: Have you started recording your next release?
AB: Yeah. I'm moving to London next month, and me and Paul Epworth are going to bang this **** out. He's doing the whole thing. The idea is to make it fun-- not like a musical, but event-ful-- so it's not just me rapping over beats. I want to make it sound polished, because a lot of my **** that's out sounds kind of bootleg. [laughs] I'm most excited about this one song called "Licorice" that's sort of about interracial dating. I want to make feel-good music.
Pitchfork: Is it going to be a proper album or a free mixtape?
AB: Because I'm finding a label and it's becoming much bigger than I thought it would be, the ideas is: If you can make an album, maybe you don't want to give it away for free. Not to be on some "**** you, pay me" ****, but it just makes sense. That way you can license the beats and you can own it, and other people can own it, too. I have a big feeling-- and so does Paul Epworth and everyone around me-- that this is going to be classic, in a sense. And even if it's not classic, it's going to be really interesting for music. I think. I hope. [laughs]

Now I wonder, from the last time we heard about the tracklist — were there many this Paul Epworth-guy tracks left?
