Azealia Banks-Bambi


Brand new material from one of music’s most popular rising stars, ‘recorded for the MUGLER Mens FW 2012 runway show‘, which speaks volumes about her status right now.

There’s certainly a ‘runway’ feel about this for the first half, with a light electro backdrop combining with whispery, intermittent vocals and spoken word additions for a relatively eccentric yet sonically consistent effort that suits its intended environment. Things turn more ‘song-like’ in the second half, as the synth gets a little bassier and Azealia’s allowed a little more time and frequency in the vocal department, bringing some much-needed energy to the whole affair. An enjoyable listen that offers something a little different.

There’s a ton of buzz around Azealia at the moment, and with many feeling the multi-talented, eclectic artist is destined to dominate 2012, here’s a rather good example of just why that may happen.

Blending a house style with a hip-hop sensibility, the production has a retro yet unique sound that will certainly win over the mainstream music fans, whilst also harbouring an appeal to those who loved the UK garage sounds of the early 00′s. Azealia demonstrates her rapping and singing talents throughout, with verses boasting an energetic, speedy delivery that contrasts excellently with the soulful vocals on the hook. Definitely worth a listen, and most certainly one to watch over the next few months.
