Azealia Banks - "New Bottega" + General Discussion

[Hyrulian]

Yeah, yeah…

 

[Applause]

...and came for twigs again for no good reason in the subsequent stories!

 

[elektroxx]

"New Bottega" is finally here—with the producer as its lead artist, ddd.

​

 

[theincredibleflipper]

Slightly different mix.

​

Not showing up for me on Apple Music… Of course.

 

[Aidan]

Not showing up for me on Apple Music… Of course.

Maybe because it’s only hit midnight in New Zealand and will appear at midnight local time for you

​

She was talking about this happening on her stories recently, but I can’t remember what she said about it dd. I believe she said she was over the song now and called it “Old Bottega”

 

[Tracy Jacks]

Low key feels like the new mix does her bridge vocals dirty??? (Or, at least, it does them no favors… ddd)

She generally doesn't sound super clear or maybe just a bit to buried in the mix?

 

[1991]

The new mix sucks. I thought she was doing the most on her stories but she was right that they really ruined this. They also took the melodyne off her vocals on the bridge so now she sounds like ass dd.

What a stitch up for the best song she’s put out in a good 5 years.

 

[Up Down Suite]

Nah this is still song of the year so far. A total earworm in any form.

I can still live with it but yeah. It’s not as amazing as it was but still really great.

 

[Lander]

Yeah the new mix is nowhere near as good, especially making changes to a song that already had some hype built up.

 

[Vasilios]

NOT the Bree Runwayfication of a song.

 

[XS.]

It's not even credited to Parlophone...? What in the fan upload is going on ddd

It seems that it's no longer Azealia's release—it's Torren Foot's. Azealia is now credited as a feature. He's the one who signed to Sweat It Out Records.

​

 

[Synthline]

Why does Torren Foot sound like the title of a song she’d write.

 

[Andy French]

Why does Torren Foot sound like the title of a song she’d write.

Honestly it sounds like a name she'd call someone while dragging them. Kinda iconic

Basically the beat was given to her by the producer’s label (seemingly without his knowledge?), Azealia recorded it, it blew up, and the producer and his label snatched the song back when they found out Parlo were planning on releasing it, since they own the rights. This is what she was talking about in her stories a few days ago, claiming that because this other label owned the rights to the song and Parlophone didn’t, her contract with them is void.

 

[mindtrappa]

Oop she’s now on her stories saying she actually produced and conceptualized the track based off a remix the producer did and that he never worked directly on what we know as “New Bottega”
