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.[4] The major attention led to negotiations for a record deal with Interscope Records.[4] In December 2011, in an interview, Azalea revealed her debut album's title to be The New Classic and that she had hopes of releasing it in the first quarter of 2012.[5] She also stated she would be signing to a major record label "soon and once that's sorted out and I establish an over all sound and direction for the album, I will be able to know what artists would make for a dynamic collaboration".[5] 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."[6]

If the decision to slavishly homage iconic 1995 teen comedy Clueless to stage the video for her single 'Fancy' is any indication, Iggy Azalea has her own retromaniac idea of what constitutes 'classic'. Watching her rap "First things first I'm the realest" in Cher Horowitz's clothes was just priceless. In 'Pu$$y' off her first, tentative mixtape Ignorant Art, she sampled the bit where Grace Jones lambasts Eddie Murphy in 1992 film Boomerang. In 'The Last Song' she went on to rap "True love died in '96/There is nothing left now", referring to hip-hop culture after Tupac. The Nineties recur. It only made sense, then, that to write the ear-catching hook for 'Fancy', Iggy recruited the always brilliant Charli XCX, another self-proclaimed Nineties nostalgic and ambassador, with Grimes and many other young artists, of the 'I don't care' policy when it comes to the alternative/mainstream pop divide.
These five drinks range from what should be the sad man's bar staple to a chocolatey delight for anyone trying to bring booty back. From a so fancy, you already know cocktail perfect for brunch to a sparkly mocktail that is so delicious it might make you want to give up alcohol completely. And we promise you are never, ever going to want to drink another run of the mill Cosmo again, like, ever, after having Francesca's new and approved take on the classic.
