Iggy Azalea drops 'The End of an Era' album, fans say songs are 'banger after banger'

Iggy Azalea dropped her new and possibly final studio album 'The End of an Era'

Iggy Azalea announced The End of an Era with her third and probably final studio album after a decade in the business. On Thursday, August 12, the Australian rapper launched her album for her fans.

Azalea was recently in the news after she was slammed for being a racist, after her new music video, 'I Am The Stripclub' released on July 2. Viewers immediately took offense at Iggy's appearance, which was noticeably darker for the song.

In April 2021, Iggy became a hero of sorts after exposing a spate of DMs she got from celebs pleading with her for sex. She became a mother for the first time last year, after having a baby with rapper Playboi Carti. We discovered in October that Iggy will be raising her baby on her alone after she split from Playboi Carti.  But on Thursday, fans went gaga over her new album which they absolutely loved. 

The 14-track collection features collaborations with BIA (“Is That Right”) and Sophia Scott (“Sex on the Beach”), in addition to the previously released tracks “I am the Strip Club” and “Brazil.” This may well just be her last album as the Australian rapper intends to take a break from music after the album's release and explore other creative activities.

“Shifting my energy and focus to what I’m most excited about is what is right for me and I hope you’ll continue to support whatever creative projects I’m out here doing!” said Iggy, according to Rap-Up. She also teased a “big secret design project” which is set to drop later this month. Her 'I Feel Good Tour' is set to kick off with Pitbull on August 20. "I deserve a break from the pedestal! I deserve d**k on my schedule!", the singer tweeted on Thursday.

'Banger after banger'

Fans took to Twitter to share their joy about the new album. "I am SCREAMING at how amazing it is. Banger after banger. When is the Deluxe out?" said a fan. "The Shining reference on Sirens, what a great opener!! @IGGYAZALEA," said another. "These three songs from @IGGYAZALEA new album. Makes me want to dance and fight at the same!" a third chipped in.

'Such a legacy to leave behind'

"Why this woman @IGGYAZALEA always give us such a dope songs, she desreves more hello? Iggy this album is a masterpiece thank you," a fan said. "love how pretty the album cover colors make the background look," said another. "Keepin the vol down cos i really dont want the neighbours to know im listening to the new @IGGYAZALEA album (it would be more enjoyable if it wasnt so by-the-numbers hip hop but younger heads will probably enjoy)," said a third. "Just got done listening, I don’t really have words. I’m hella emotional, this is such a legacy to leave behind. I am so beyond fucking proud of you," a fourth chipped in.
