Iggy Azalea flies to LA to record new album as she hints at Lil Nas X collab and fans can't keep calm
Iggy Azalea took to social media on July 10 to announce that she has started working on a new album. Although the Australian rapper hasn't clarified what the LP's moniker will be or the release date, she did confirm that recording has begun.
The news was confirmed after a loyal fan asked her on Twitter if we can expect to see any new music from her in 2020. "Are u planning to release new music this year?" the fan asked, to which Azalea replied, "I’m not sure, I just got back to LA to start recording today!" adding, "So we shall see how it all goes." Another fan later asked, "Are you working with j white???" referring to the American record producer who worked on her previous album 'In My Defense'. Azalea replied again, saying, "Not this week, but I am for the album yes. I’m working with multiple ppl."
Fans are super hyped about the new album in-the-works. "OMG we're so excited we want your new material Iggy please save us," a fan said while another wrote, "SHE IS COMING!!! u deserve so much better like fr." One fan says, "I'm so excited! Take your time iggy YOU NEVER FAIL ON GIVING US BOPS!!!!"
Many fans have already picked out a collaborator they want to see joining Azalea on the new album. "If u record a song that might fit Nicki would u consider? pweazzee for female rap unity," requested a fan, asking for a Nicki Minaj collaboration. Another said, "doja pls", referring to Doja Cat. Other comments included, "Get Cardi B on the album Queen" and "Make sure to have a collaboration now with Katy Perry."
Rumors are also spreading that Azalea is prepping for a collaboration with Lil Nas X. After a recent snippet Lil Nas shared on his Instagram which teased a new song, he wrote on Twitter, "@IGGYAZALEA please dm me." Azalea responded to the 'Old Town Road' singer and poked fun at trolls who have called both her and Nas X a one-hit-wonder, saying, "Wait a min, are we about to become two hit Wonders." The tweet is a subtle hint that the duo may be releasing a collaboration soon.
If we do see a new album from Azalea in 2020, it will follow just a year after her 2019 studio album 'In My Defense'. Her debut album 'The New Classic' released in 2014, and she has also released several EPs including 'Wicked Lips', 'Survive the Summer', 'Change Your Life' and more.
