Singer/rapper Azealia Banks blesses her fans with a video for “Soda,” a visual shot against a desert backdrop. Directed by Jahvel Brown, Banks is clad in a gold flowing gown paired with rugged boots. The single was included on her 2014 debut album, Broke with Expensive Taste.
Banks provided a lengthy explanation for the words lyrics on her Intagram account, writing, “This song is about my time in 2012. Everything in the world was going well for me but I was just so sad. Earlier in the year I broke up with someone I thought I’d be with forever and was finding it hard to cope with the loneliness. The guy served many roles in my life including being the very first father figure I’d ever had. When we broke up many pieces of what I considered to be my life and family fell apart….”
In February 2918, Banks announced she had signed a $1 million deal with Entertainment One Music, funding that will come in handy as she works on “Fantasea II: The Second Wave” a follow up to her 2012 mixtape “Fantasea.”
