Azealia Banks performing at Glastonbury Festival 2013
American rapper Azealia Banks has recorded songs for one studio album , one extended play (EP) and two mixtapes , as well as various other releases and guest appearances. Between 2009 and 2011, Banks uploaded several demo tracks on to the internet, including "Barbie Shit", "P-U-S-S-Y" and "Seventeen". These tracks caught the attention of XL Recordings , who subsequently signed a developmental record deal with Banks.[ 1] In 2011, Banks self-released "212 " as the lead single from her debut EP, 1991 .[ 2] "212" was a commercial success, peaking within the Top 40 of the regional charts in Ireland, Scotland, and the United Kingdom, later being certified platinum by the latter.[ 3] The EP also spawned the single "Liquorice ", which failed to mirror the success of its predecessor.[ 4] In July 2012, Banks released a free nineteen-track mixtape titled Fantasea , which included collaborations with Shystie and Styles P . The mixtape received positive reviews from critics, with The Guardian commenting that it "showcase[s] an artist brimming with ideas".[ 5]
Throughout 2013, Banks released various stand-alone tracks, including diss tracks to Angel Haze and Jim Jones , a collaboration with Paul Oakenfold titled "Venus", and a promotional single with Pharrell titled "ATM Jam ".[ 6] In November 2014, after numerous delays, Banks' debut studio album, Broke with Expensive Taste , was released. The album spawned four singles, "Yung Rapunxel ",[ 7] "Heavy Metal and Reflective ",[ 8] "Chasing Time "[ 9] and "Ice Princess ".[ 10] The singles had limited commercial impact compared to that of "212", with none of them managing to break into any mainstream charts. To promote her album, a music video for the track "Wallace " was released, to widespread acclaim from critics.[ 11] Banks' overall sound has been described as a mix of hardcore hip hop and indie pop ,[ 12] while her individual releases have been seen as house rap ,[ 13] witch hop ,[ 14] and dance pop [ 15] records, respectively.
