I'm getting to a space where I feel that there's not much new perspective I can bring to what I'm doing I wanted to split it up into four chapters of my inspirations, because I've played around so much with musical styles.
The 20s, the beginning quarter of the album, is a lot of electronic-influenced sounds, it's a big more aggressive. The inspiration is from my early mixtapes, like ['s] Trap Gold. Then it focuses on 24, when I did big pop features and everything went super mainstream -- big open hooks and more polished song construction. It's very heavy s and very rap heavy and aggressive and I tried to put more, darker-sounding drums on that.
The final chapter brings me here and what I'm inspired by now that I'm 30 -- I'm actually 31 now, I started the album a year and a half ago. You recorded the whole album and gave birth during the pandemic lockdown -- your son Onyx is almost one now -- what was that like? Did those two major events have an impact on the sound? It was the same process as before.
I worked in person with everyone, starting when I was pregnant, and finished when I had a child. I had to re-record a lot of it -- because I was so heavily pregnant that it was hard to rap the verses with the baby sitting on your lungs! I feel like people say a lot that having a kid is a life-changing thing, and it was cool to write an album that's before I had a kid and then after, to see how my perspective shifted a bit.
I like steak and I like chicken, but chicken is my favorite. That [dance music] is the chicken to me. I like fast tempo electronic dance music with heavy drums.
That's my s--t, and I can do anything on that with ease. I feel most inspired by that kind of beat I like when I hear a beat and I'm like, 'Holy s--t! How am I going to rap over this? It will be really good. It will be great. I don't see what would be wrong with it.
He's a human in a human world and he should know what adults are doing in an adult world. You've said it's a look back at your wild club kid days in Miami in your early 20s, especially "Sex on the Beach. I'd go in the studio over the years and look back on those things and it wasn't that I wasn't happy with what I was making, but I felt an urge to touch back on those things and then leave it at this.
I can put the brush down with this. I love the narrative and the crazy stories that paint a vivid picture of the person I was in my early 20s.
It's about going to the club all the time but not having a good time, but, like a forced good time. Like, "I refuse to be sad! With Kid LAROi and Astronaut Wolf coming up lately, do you feel like we're having a moment with Aussie rap and do you think you played any part in helping pave the way?
There's definitely something happening there, and I'm really happy to see it. Iggy Azalea. About her Discography. Ignorant Art TrapGold. Recent blog posts Forum. Explore Wikis Community Central.

They are not terrible in any way, but sometimes, a mediocre song has a worse effect on the listener than an obviously bad song. The afrobeat-inspired song reminds me of rapper Megan Thee. Again, it is not an original concept in any way, but it does what it was meant to: be sexy and entertaining, breezy and light.
Now the songs are mostly bops, competent enough to play at a party or club,and it surely will be played in them. But one will be waiting and waiting for it all to go somewhere, for the beat to perhaps switch, or have moments that blow us away. But it never really goes all out. Perhaps we needed one song to make the transition from the sad music back to the party track at the end. It feels like it was missing some fillers.
