new music: azealia banks releases energetic, vogue-ready mixtape “slay-z”

March 25, 2016

Yesterday, #problematicfav Azealia Banks returned to the Twitter world to release her new mixtape “Slay-Z”. As you’d expect, the release is a mixture of house, pop, and bass. It’s loud, at times pop-y, and all around theatric. There are, of course, several prime voguing tracks, particularly on the tape’s second-half, with anthemic, pulsating tracks like “The Big Big Beat” and the anthemic “Queen of Clubs”. “Along The Coast” was a welcome stand out and pretty brilliant ending with its slower tempo and (comparatively) minimalistic use of synths and effects. Download it for free, right here!
