Following the release of her debut studio album 'Broke With Expensive Taste' in 2014, Azealia Banks' next project was a follow-up to her first mixtape 'Fantasea'. 'Fantasea II: The Second Wave' had been worked on alongside the recording of 'Broke With Expensive Taste', and had been intended to be released in July 2014, following the 2013 single 'Count Contessa', but it was eventually put on hold so that Banks could concentrate on her studio album. In 2017 she released the second promotional single 'Escapades' in support of the upcoming album, and in 2018 she signed to eOne Music and released the singles 'Anna Wintour' and 'Treasure Island', as well as the promotional single 'Movin' On Up (Coco's Song, Love Beats Rhymes)' in anticipation for the album. In mid-2018 she cancelled the project, although she carried on working on it, and in August it was announced that it would still be released someday. In June 2019 she took to her Instagram to say she would never release a full body of work as she felt the world was not deserving of her music, but a few days later she posted pictures working in a studio with Russian producers. In the same month, she shared a snippet of 'Icy Pisces', and said that she was looking for a singer to feature on it, thus proving the album was still in development, and in April 2021 she told fans that it would be released in the summer. However, to date it has still not appeared, and so I've collected up all the tracks that are available to put something together to tide us over until it does eventually appear.
