Icons are everywhere!

An icon is someone who makes an effort. Art makes an effort. Therefore art is an icon. Marilyn Monroe was and is an icon and a work of art as well. Hence Marilyn Monroe and art have a nature in common. Icon - Art - Marilyn is iconic.

Music Minute - Iggy Azalea: "Bounce"

She might not be a classical black chick rapper, but i think this is the best ever! Iggy Azalea has finally released her second single, and that hopefully means that the album, we are all waiting for, is round the corner.


So, i have already written about Iggy and also draw her. I think it was this drawing (see below) and about the video to her song "Work". And really i have to say that i am a big fan of her and i really like it that she sis not an american black girl rapping. They all say she misses the street credibility, but i don't care about that. I mean its music! And she does pretty great shit!

So this time I am going to write about her new single which is called Bounce. One again Iggy is going the electronic way and Bounce is a mixture of rap and electronic sounds. Its really an ear catcher. You can see the cover art right here: 

I really like the vibe she is giving us on there, it really is so high fashion. And the pose is fabulous! Bout the dress well its okay and befits the blue background. But these super wild patterns: i'm not a fan... But the hairstyle is fabulous!

But back to the song and the video. generally the video and the song are opposites. The video is Iggy in some exotic country like India, Indonesia or somewhere in the region. She dances in the traditional(?) clothes with dancers from there, and we also see her riding on an elephant. Its pretty much like an alienation thing And, even though i am not such a big fan of the clothes form there areas, i really like it. I mean you have to admit that the contrast between old culture and new electronic FemC rap is pretty great! Oh and by the way: The song is great! Have a look at the song on Perez Hilton or just right here. But it will only work here on the page if Vevo works in your country.
