Beyond a consistent delivery of bops, one thing you can always count on Iggy Azalea for is brazenness.

Having repeatedly used her platform over the years to publicly address private and professional woes, Azalea’s never been one to shy away from tough topics – a stance she’s reiterating during her promo run for her third and final studio album, ‘End of An Era’ (available for streaming now).

In addition to waxing honest about her reason for hanging up her mic (as we reported here), the 31-year-old is opening up about the hardships that came with the creation of ‘Era.’

Taking to ‘The Zach Sang Show’ recently to dish, look inside to hear her detail why she thinks no ‘major artist’ would attach themselves to a song on the project’s tracklist.

Alongside the long-awaited premiere of the Aretha Franklin biopic, the Jennifer Hudson-led ‘Respect,’ came its equally anticipated soundtrack (as we reported here).

An 18-track affair, the project sees Hudson tackle some of Franklin’s most prized hits – including ‘Think,’ ‘I Say a Little Prayer,’ ‘Ain’t No Way,’ and, of course, ‘Respect.’  Yet, the effort’s bid for an Original Song Academy Award comes courtesy of the Gospel-tinged ‘Here I Am (Singing My Way Home).’

Dropped the same day as its parent project (August 13), the black-and-white clip sees Hudson revisit The New Temple Missionary Baptist Church – the very location Aretha recorded her iconic ‘Amazing Grace’ album in 1972.

Dua Lipa‘s ‘Levitating’ is simply the sleeper hit no one saw coming.

The song’s original edition, and later a Madonna & Missy Elliott-led remix, made little noise on the charts upon their respective summer 2020 introductions (as we reported here), but now – a year after ‘Levitating’ was officially serviced to radio as a single – the Lipa bop is one week shy of holding the record for longest running top 10 female-led hit in the Hot 100’s 63-year history!
