The End of an Era is the third and final studio album by Iggy Azalea, released by Bad Dreams Records with distribution handled by Empire on August 13, 2021[1]. Azalea stated that the album features a "beach" or "yacht" type of sound.
Background
After the release of her fifth extended play Wicked Lips, Azalea announced that she would be working on her new studio album. She has announced she had been at the studio and photos have been shown of her recording new music. [2] [3]
On the project's concept, Azalea stated that its title refers to the end of her 20s and what happened in the last decade in her life[4]. She confirmed her plans about going on hiatus from music after releasing End of an Era to focus on other ventures.[5]
The rapper has announced she has merch upcoming and she has been transparent about promoting and speaking to radios. [6]
Azalea has shown snippets of different songs and lyrics to social media as well as titles such as "I Am The Strip Club" which was announced by Iggy through a snippet from her Instagram stories. [7] [8] Iggy also announced "Dance Like Nobody's Watching" through Twitter with a snippet. [9] [10]
"Not My Favorite" was announced through a livestream from her Instagram. [11] She also announced "3 Day Miami" with a snippet on Instagram [12] as well as announcing she wrote a song about "Posh Spice". [13] She also shared a story on Instagram with a snippet of the song. [14]
On August 3, Azalea revealed, via Instagram, the album's standard artwork and announced that it would be released on August 13, 2021. She also stated, replying to a fan in the comments, that a deluxe version is also scheduled to be released, along with its own artwork, most likely at the same time than the standard edition.[1]
Azalea also shared that the standard version of the album is set to include 14 songs, while the deluxe will feature 17[15], and that there will be CDs for both editions.[16]
Singles
"Dance Like Nobody's Watching", featuring Tinashe, was released on August 21, 2020 as the originally intended lead single for the album, but was scrapped due to its under-performance.
The official lead single "Sip It" with Tyga was released on April 2, 2021, along with its music video, which caused controversy, with Azalea rightfully calling out YouTube for not promoting the video. The song was omitted from the standard track listing, but is expected to be featured in the deluxe edition, yet to be released. "Brazil" was also released as a promotional single on the same day.
"I Am the Stripclub" was released on July 2, 2021 as the second single for the album.
"Sex on the Beach", featuring Sophia Scott, was released as the promotional single on August 5, 2021 along with the album's pre-order.
