EW.com: When Iggy Azalea started working on her second album, Digital Distortion, she came up with about 20 songs, scrapped them because they “didn’t really have a direction, there was nothing fresh about them,†and went back to working with D.R.U.G.S., the same team who produced her first acclaimed mixtape.
“I just felt like they really understood me so I went back to working with my friends,†she says. “It’s harder than my debut — more aggressive. It’s a little bit darker and moodier and there’s a bit more of a throwback to some of my older mixtape sounds. But it’s got electronic influences used in a rap way. My version of rap is alway always controversial.â€
Digital Distortion also includes a love song, a rare move for Azalea. “It’s the one song I did that’s lovey because [fiancé] Nick [Young] was like, ‘You don’t have any love songs. I don’t exist,’†she says. “I usually do break-up ‘I hate you songs,’ but I’m getting married so I can’t write those anymore.â€
After more than a year of making headlines for online tiffs with Talib Kweli and Azealia Banks, Azalea titled her album with specific care: “This album isn’t about Twitter battles. It’s about the way other people can distort your character and having the power through technology to do that.â€
