    Background

    After releasing her first full-length project, a mixtape Ignorant Art (2011) and a music video for a song titled "Pu$$y" that went viral, Iggy Azalea found prominence in the music industry and went on to become both the first female and first non-American rapper selected for hip hop magazine XXL{{'s}} annual Top 10 Freshman cover issue.WEB,weblink Iggy Azalea Goes for Glory, O'Neill, Aimee, 30 July 2012, Interview (magazine), Interview, Dan Ragone, 22 May 2013, The major attention led to negotiations for a record deal with Interscope Records.

Azalea later explained the concept behind her debut album's title: "I think people think of classic and they think of a Nas record or a Jay Z record or The Chronic, what makes something classic is when you hear it and you have that moment that is a time capsule. When I say 'The New Classic,' I just want to make records that give you that moment for fans that they can remember where they were when they heard it."WEB,weblink Iggy Azalea Explains Why Her Album Is 'Classic', Rap-Up.com, 18 April 2012, 24 January 2013, {{Blockquote|text=I think some people think I'm like anti-label and I'm not.

    Recording and production

"He was going to be, but originally...all the records that I had on Glory [EP] were supposed to be on The New Classic, and he executive produced what ended up being Glory."WEB, Ugwu, Reggie,weblink Iggy Azalea: T.I. No Longer Executive Producing My Album | News, BET, 15 January 2013, Azalea said that artistically, both she and T.I. agreed that she needed to go in a different direction with her debut: "As I was making it, I felt like, 'This isn't The New Classic; this is something else. It's not the right sound.' Not that it sounded bad, but it wasn't what The New Classic is in my head. And he executive produced that, and that went good, it was an experience, but after, he said and I said, it's better if I just make my own music away [from him] because sometimes being around him, it influences the music I make to be a bit too much of a different sound, and so for that reason he's not going to be [executive producing]. But not because I don't love him, because I love him." Azalea also said she would be working with producers such as Diplo, Steve Aoki and Flosstradamus on the album, which she said she began working with earlier in December.In February 2012, Azalea premiered a song titled "Picture Me Rollin", performing it in Los Angeles in Dim Mak Studio.

"The beat, and the way he sings, it's kind of different [from] his regular style. I'm going to put that out, probably before the album." The album, which at the time set to be an Interscope Records release, would represent her different sides: "Some stuff is very base-driven, stripped down, more southern-sounding. Then other stuff is more mood and closer to my ignorant [side]," shared Azalea. "I kind of like have two different zones. It's ratchet, then introspective, I guess. Those are the two sounds, and I'm trying to glue all the things together, and find things that will make it cohesive."WEB,weblink Iggy Azalea Teams with Trey Songz for 'Unexpected' Collaboration, Rap-Up.com, 17 April 2012, 24 January 2013, In 2012, Azalea later mentioned the collaborations with Cee-Lo Green and Pusha T, would probably make it to the album's final track list.WEB,weblink Iggy Azalea Reveals New Record With Pusha-T & Cee-Lo, YouTube, 27 July 2012, 24 January 2013, She had also revealed hopes of a collaboration with Missy Elliott, stating: "working with her is definitely something that I'm going to try to do before I put The New Classic out."WEB,weblink Exclusive: Talking with Iggy Azalea, Popbytes.com, 23 August 2012, 24 January 2013, Natalie Sims, whom Azalea had worked with in Atlanta before relocating to Los Angeles, abandoned the last four stops on a tour and flew over to Wales in December to help record the album.WEB,weblink Christian songwriter Natalie Lauren maneuvers working for Iggy Azalea, Lecrae, Daniels, David, 4 February 2015, Rapzilla, 2 December 2016, WEB,weblink Natalie Lauren Details Her Relationship With Iggy Azalea, 21 October 2014, Jam the Hype, 2 December 2016, Sims co-wrote the songs "Work", "Change Your Life", "Bounce", "Just Askin'", and "New Bitch".

    Composition

    During her headlining European tour in December, Azalea spoke on the album's composition: "It's going to be similar to TrapGold and that will be very electronic and high-energy but I'm gonna talk more about my story and where I'm from and things about myself because I never really say that, I don't tell you too much about me, it's kind of just talking a lot of shit. It's what I really do, like energy and dance... but I do wanna touch on who I am and tell my story because I feel like I have a really interesting story and a lot of people don't know that because a lot of people don't see the interviews and I would like to put it in my music that I've been waiting for the right time for something that I feel like people will hear in the right platform and I think it will be this album so the near future will just be trying to tell my story in that album next year."WEB,weblink Iggy Azalea Interview | CYCLONESMAG.FR | 2012, YouTube, 9 December 2012, 15 January 2013, In an interview with Billboard, released in August 2013, Azalea described the album as "fairly electronic, like moombahton mixed with hip hop".MAGAZINE,weblink Iggy Azalea Talks Touring With Beyonce & 'The New Classic' Album, Billboard, 26 August 2013, 16 April 2014,

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 56, based on 26 reviews.WEB,weblink Critic Reviews for The New Classic, Metacritic, 17 April 2014, 21 April 2014, Simon Vozick-Levinson of Rolling Stone said Azalea gives the songs "the kind of shamelessly poppy hooks that make Top 40 programmers giggle in delight and 'real hip-hop' heads shake theirs sadly. If this is the future, it's one strange place." Tshepo Mokoena of The Guardian felt the album "barely resembles the west coast hip-hop Azalea idolised and imitated when developing her voice, and sits somewhere between EDM, dance-pop and trap music. Azalea can still spit out rapid-fire verses, but this album feels less forward-thinking than her 2011 Ignorant Art mixtape." Spin magazine's Alfred Soto said he hears "few indications in The New Classic of ambition existing apart from the itch for celebrity". Joe Sweeney from Slant Magazine said, "The New Classic mistakenly tries to frame Azalea as hip-hop's newest can't-miss egomaniac, focusing on the riches instead of the far more interesting rags";WEB,weblink Iggy Azalea: The New Classic, Slant Magazine, 21 April 2014, 23 February 2016, the website later named The New Classic as one of the worst albums of 2014.MAGAZINE, Slant Staff,weblink The 11 Worst Albums of 2014, Slant Magazine, 18 December 2014, Ray Rahman of Entertainment Weekly found its high-quality singles overshadowed by "undercooked, overstudied 'urban radio' and 'EDM' filler", while Q called Azalea a faux rebel who follows convention, despite an occasional catchy song.In a positive review for Cuepoint, Robert Christgau argued that while Azalea may never demonstrate a powerful, soulful, or attractively melodic delivery, her "striving Australian-Atlantan cadence" is original and carries every song. He deemed The New Classic "plenty authentic – and damn good to boot" while dismissing Azalea's media naysayers: "predictably, the songs where she expresses wonderment that 'Impossible Is Nothing' are more relatable than the ones where she flaunts her liquid assets. But the ones where she pledges to keep on striving are more relatable than that, because striving is built into her flow itself. That's what her complexity is about."MAGAZINE, Robert Christgau,weblink Robert Christgau: Iggy Azalea's 'New Classic' Is Plenty Authentic – and Damn Good to Boot, Billboard, 16 September 2014, Phil Johnson from The Independent called it "an instantly engaging showcase of the 23-year-old Aussie's talents – poppy without diluting her fierce-flowing charisma."NEWS, Album reviews: Eels, Nat Birchall, Iggy Azalea, Kelis, Yaaba Funk,weblink The Independent UK, 20 April 2014, 20 April 2014, Kellan Miller of XXL said despite some poor songs near the end of the record, it is "a persuasive indicator that Iggy Azalea will be around for the long haul."WEB,weblink Iggy Azalea Falls Short of High Expectations On 'The New Classic', 22 April 2014, Xxlmag.com, 23 April 2014,
