In My Defense is the upcoming second studio album by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. It is set to release in June 2019[1] by Bad Dreams Records and Empire.[3] The album's lead single, "Sally Walker", was released on 15 March 2019[4], followed by the second single, "Started", on 3 May 2019.
Background[edit]
In early 2016, Azalea released "Team"[5], the intended lead single from her second studio album, then titled Digital Distortion. Several other songs were released throughout 2016, 2017 and 2018, including the singles "Mo Bounce", "Switch" and "Savior". In late 2017, Azalea announced that the album had been shelved completely[6] and she was working on a new record; shortly afterwards, it was announced that she had signed to Island Records. In mid-2018, Azalea released the extended play Survive the Summer, which included the RIAA-certified single, "Kream", featuring Tyga.[7] Several months after the EP's release, Azalea announced she had left Island Records and had become an independent unsigned artist.
In August 2018, Azalea expressed her anticipation to record her album on Twitter.[8] In November, Azalea signed a multi-million dollar distribution deal with Empire[9] after her departure from Island Records.[10][11][12][2] In February 2019, Azalea announced the first single release, "Sally Walker", with the single art makeup by internet personality James Charles. The single was released on 15 March 2019.[13][14] The second single titled "Started" and music video released on 3 May 2019.[15]
