Song of the Week-
Fancy by Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX, from the album The New Classic
Iggy Azalea was one of the rising stars of 2013, being a
strong rapper flying the flag for females in the genre and slowly creating
herself a loyal fan base. Latest single Fancy finds the rapper teaming up with
British singer songwriter Charli XCX for a fun hip hop number that is
immediately catchy, and which will probably see the rapper rise to a new level
of mainstream success. Lyrically the track finds Azalea firmly and sophistically
rapping of the grandness of her life and coming across as a strong independent
woman. Alongside this, Charli XCX provides us with a catchy chorus that is
instantly memorable and also cries out to be sung along to, with the chorus
focusing on the idea of these two girls being so fancy and awesome. The brash
vocal delivery of Charli XCX nicely offsets the more straight edged feel of
Azalea’s raps, although the artist definitely still shows off a sense of being
a fun loving girl, particularly in terms of the fun and catchy ‘I, G, G, Y’
hook. Producers The Invisible Men also
do a stellar job with the production, creating an instantly attention grabbing
beat that is powerful and feisty, rumbling with a grand style that sort of
makes you feels just as fancy as these two girls, because it just gives you
this dance swag that is great to hear. This is both a commercial and artistic
statement that is just bound to be Iggy Azalea’s biggest hit so far, and a song
that should hopefully have more people excited for her soon to be released
album The New Classic.
