azealia banks - liquorice

As my friends will account for, over recent months I seemed to have developed a slight obsession with NY based singer Azealia Banks. There is something about her tunes, however rude they may be, they are far too catchy and I just can't help but play them on repeat; constantly. 

However after watching her video for her new single 'Liquorice' I was intrigued to realise that the video was directed by non other than the London based director Rankin. 


'Liquorice' is a step up from Azealia's debut single '212' with this video being a stylised and sleek affair. The video has a much more art directed feel about it, obviously Rankin's influence, and sees the singer riding horseback through the desert.

With Azealia recently announcing that she no longer wants to be considered as a rapper, but instead taken more seriously as a vocalist, this video seems like a step in the right direction to achieving this goal. 

Enjoy xx
