Also, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Iggy Azalea’s comeback, but from a music industry perspective it’s proving against the odds with a really subtle approach to significantly more pop direction. Team arrived today accompanied by a dance video which is beautifully constructed with a really diverse cast of insanely talented dancers. I still don’t agree with her attitude a lot of the time, but this is a legit pop track and she’s delivering her signature rapping and JLo/Gwen-esque singing for the chorus which previously would have been given to someone else like Charli XCX or MO which makes sense considering the message of the song is “I got me” in line with Digital Distortion being her response to well, everything. The track features twelve writing credits including Bebe Rexha (super star) and Lil Wayne.

The story behind the video, in the words of Lorde:

“This video was borne from a dream i had a few months ago about teenagers in their own world, a world with hierarchies and initiations, where the boy who was second in command had acne on his face, and so did the girl who was queen. i dreamt about this world being so different to anything anyone had ever seen, a dark world full of tropical plants and ruins and sweat. and of this world, i dreamt about tests that didn’t need to be passed in order to be allowed in: sometimes the person who loses is stronger.”
