Iggy Azalea is better when she gets people to sing on her songs. See. Go on, tell me I’m right. In an ideal world, she’d release an album of songs with other people. And by ‘other people’, I mean the people below. Iggy Azalea (feat. Tinashe and Big Sean) ‘Female rapper collaborates with paper-thin vocalist…

Every now and then, a literally brilliant new popstar pops out of nowhere with ‘the goods’. Last year gave us Ariana Grande. The year before gave us Jessie Ware.
