Le Marais from Paris je t’aime.
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
1991 by Azealia Banks
I make hits motherfucker, I never do it for free.
I think I’ve watched Paris, Je T’aime way too many times because I swear the intro in Azealia Banks’ 1991 was from 14e arrondissement by Alexander Payne, the last vignette featuring a lonely American tourist in France.
With a blazing introduction, 1991 fires up with a 90s house inspired beat and Azealia’s slick verses sprinkled with hooks & expletives in the right places. The cleverly produced track was by Machinedrum who also worked on Azealia’s 212. Their collaboration is quite similar to Missy Elliott’s work with Timbaland which no doubt resulted to numerous banging hits. If you take some time to devour Azealia Banks’ soundcloud and her latest EP, 1991, it’s obvious that she’s heading to that direction.
“That was the moment I fell in love with Paris. And I felt Paris fall in love with me.”
“If you let her get away, you’ll die. Death of the heart.”
