Iggy Azalea's Frustration Around The 'Digital Distortion' Release Grows
July 1, 2017
As more and more time passes, the likelihood of Iggy Azalea releasing Digital Distortion is getting smaller.
Earlier this week, the Aussie rapper shared her frustrations about the release of the forthcoming album with the Twitterverse, revealing that she just wants the project out already. “I just want to put [Digital Distortion] out and be done with it and hopefully start a new album I can finish fast and put out without all these issues," she said in one message.
Elsewhere in her timeline, Iggy went back and forth with fans, admitting that the music video for the set's latest single, "Switch," featuring Anitta has been scrapped since it leaked. She's currently in talks with Def Jam on deciding an exact release date for the album, but she said it'll drop sometime within the next month or two. Furthermore, the label's lack of support surrounding the LP simply falls on the failed singles. "Def Jam would have liked me to have a hit to drive the album sales but they are probably seeing now that is unlikely. It's not their fault. They need media etc to actually give the platforms FOR the promo. Label can't just force me onto TV and into mags etc."
Will the extended delay in the project halt her hustle? Unlikely. I-G-G-Y admitted that she's already thinking about the follow-up to Digital Distortion and would love to whip that out by 2018. “Since you know, I'm not having a mental breakdown or randomly finding out on E News my financé's having kids with someone else."
