2011 foi o ano que conhecemos Azealia Banks . 2012 foi o ano que comprovamos que a rapper desbocada não era apenas uma sensação momentânea. E 2013 será o ano em que, de acordo com ela, será lançado não apenas um, mas dois álbuns seus. Polêmicas como a impossibilidade do lançamento de "Esta Noche", uma das suas melhores músicas e integrantes da sua mixtape Fantasea , apontavam para o lançamento de um novo single, fato que já tinha sido confirmado pela cantora mas que só acontece hoje, às vésperas do ano novo. Na verdade, "BBD" ainda [...]

Now that we've all survived the apocalypse, it's about time we got into New Years mode. We're going to keep you on your toes. This is no time to stick to any one genre. That's ludicrous. You've got to mix it up- with songs that get you dancing, party anthems, and a strong Australian focus. Why not pepper your New Years Eve with the sounds of your city, of your country. So put a hand over your heart, stand poised in front of the TV and the images of Australian icons lit up, and play [...]
Is Azealia Banks dimming the lights on her own 15 minutes of fame? It might appear so. Despite only bursting onto the music scene a little over a year ago, the 21-year-old performer says she wants to quit the rap game. "I'd eventually like to stop rapping. That's just the honest truth," she told HYPETRAK TV. "One day I don't want to rap anymore just because I think it's kind of tacky. I think it's very unladylike. I like it, but I think I am going to get tired of it." Hm, [...]

Petite nouveauté en cette année 2012, un nouveau best of tourné cette fois non pas vers ce qui c'est passé cette année mais surtout sur les artistes à suivre de très près pour 2013.

Another year is about to be in the bag. Here's a mixtape to knock at your End of Year parties. 2012 had plenty to offer in music, but I think it was definitely a better year for hip hop than rock. Obviously had to keep out some of the rockers in order to make this a party player. Apologies to the Rock Gods. "Express Yourself" by Diplo feat. Nicky Da B "Big Booty Bootleg" by Crookers "High Princess" by Lady Gaga [...]
So Christmas is done with for another year, which means that today is all about hangovers, indigestion and looking forward to 2013. We have good vibes in general about the year to come, and we're hoping that it holds as much musical goodness as 2012 did. The early part of the year is certainly shaping up well, and after the jump we've put together a kind of extended edition of our regular monthly album release preview, looking at the 15 albums (with confirmed release dates) that we're hanging out for in the new year, in addition to a roundup of [...]

We first clocked Curxes back in August for First Signs Of Love #27, since then the blogosphere has continued to shower them with glowing praise and admiration. In fact Curxes are now officially the 11th most blogged artist in the UK this year, above the likes of Django Django, Azealia Banks, and Friends. A fantastic achievement from an independently released artist, with no label or PR company support. Curxes we salute you! With all this success, we're delighted they have taken the time to become Right Chord Music guest editors and share their favourite [...]

Time to leave his stupid ass, alert. The AZEALIA BANKS tweeted yesterday a claim of domestic abuse against her reported manager slash boyfriend. The she-popper alleged that Dave Holmes, who manages the COLDPLAY, assaulted her and revealed his history of violence against her. ColdPlay’s manager Dave Holmes is a piece of sh-. Second time he has put his f-- hands on me. The tweet has since been deleted but it seems like her six-plus-month relationship with the Holmes may [...]

Para um blog especializado em músicas - e não discos - como o nosso, talvez esta é a "lista de fim de ano" mais difícil de ser feita. As músicas postadas aqui no blog são, em suma, um resumo do que estou ouvindo de mais legal, e como consequência da enorme quantidade de canções que ouço por semana, escolher a dedo quais que me marcaram mais durante o ano (e enumerá-las em posições) não é uma tarefa fácil. Vale lembrar também que, assim como no ano passado, não estamos tentanto fazer uma lista de "Melhores" do ano, mas [...]

With a huge 2012 under her belt, Azealia Banks is already hard at work planning her 2013. In a recent interview with Hypetrak , the 21 year old rapper mentioned that she'd like to release 2 albums next year, with her debut album Broke With Expensive Taste expected to drop early on. Despite this ambitious dream, Banks doesn't see herself rapping forever; adding that she wants to step away from the hip-hop scene in a few years due to it being "un-lady like." For more on Banks' thoughts on the fashion world, her favorite 2012 [...]
