With over 80 million YouTube views under her belt, Australian rap siren, Iggy Azalea, releases her highly anticipated debut album, 'The New Classic'. Just over a year on from breakthrough, 'Work', Azalea has proven she's an unstoppable force, cementing herself as a sure-fire pop sensation with a grand master plan, world domination. 2013 brought Iggy to the forefront as she became one of Vevo's most successful break-through acts as well as hitting the road to support rap legend Nas and later Beyonce on their international tour dates. Iggy's success as a global star is evident with over a million avid followers on Instagram and Facebook respectively. Iggy's debut album 'The New Classic' features the hits 'Bounce', 'Work' and 'Change Your Life' plus the new single, 'Fancy'. It is an impeccably produced record, driven by beats of epic proportions and laced with Iggy's unmistakable lyrical prowess and signature double-time flow. Keeping it in the family, the album features guest vocals from close friends including the likes of Rita Ora, T.I., Charli XCX and dancehall legend, Mavado. Iggy Azalea also worked with legendary producers Stargate and Timbaland as well as co-writing 'Black Widow' with global superstar, Katy Perry.
