Azalea told fans that “many personal changes” were the reason for her delay in releasing a new album, adding, “I felt it was important I made some creative changes too – I needed my album to reflect where my head’s at in 2017.” Read the tweets below.

In September 2016 Azalea told People magazine that the breakdown of her relationship with fiance Nick Young was to blame for the delayed release. “I don’t want to go and promote my album and get asked about my relationship that has just crumbled,” she said. The rapper has also served as a judge on Australian X Factor.
Azalea’s latest album, ‘The New Classic’, and the re-issue, ‘Reclassified’, were both released in 2014. Azalea has not released new music for almost a year, her most recent single being ‘Team’ from March 2016.
