The New Classic

The New Classic is the debut studio album by Australian recording artist Iggy Azalea. The album was released on 21 April 2014, under Island Records, and affiliated record labels. Azalea came to prominence after releasing her debut mixtape Ignorant Art and subsequently aligning herself with American rapper T.I. and his Hustle Gang imprint. Azalea first mentioned plans for the album in December 2011 but after numerous delays and label conflicts, Azalea eventually secured herself a record contract through Island Def Jam Music Group (now defunct). The album was preceded by four singles: the album's lead single "Work", performed well commercially, charting at number 17 in the UK charts. The album's second single, "Bounce", saw a similar success in the United Kingdom, peaking at 13. The third release "Change Your Life", peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart, her first UK Top 10 single, and also made appearances on Australian, New Zealand and US charts. A fourth single, "Fancy", reached top-five in the United Kingdom, becoming her highest charting single to date. It also reached number one on Billboard Hot 100.
