The New Classic

The New Classic is the debut studio album by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. The album was released on 21 April 2014, under Island in the US, Virgin EMI in the UK. The album features the Billboard Hot 100 number single "Fancy" which features English singer Charli XCX as well as guest appearances from R&B singer Rita Ora and rapper T.I.. Azalea also stated that the reason why she named it "The New Classic" by saying "I think people think of classic and they think of a Nas record or a Jay-Z record or The Chronic, what makes something classic is when you hear it and you have that moment that is a time capsule. When I say 'The New Classic,' I just want to make records that give you that moment for fans that they can remember where they were when they heard it."
