Stream Azealia Banks - 212 (ft. Lazy Jay) by Interscope Records from desktop or your mobile device. From its opening 'excuse-moi's and 'ooh-la-las,' 1991's vibe is an almost comically caricatured version of extravagance and luxury.

Azealia Banks, the unashamedly outspoken rapper with more scandals than albums, brought her UK tour to London’s Electric Brixton on Sunday and, dare say, she was actually really good.

When Azealia comes to mind, it’s a challenge not to think of all the controversies that seem to constantly attract the New York-born rapper.

But, any preconceived notions of the rapper went out of the Electric Brixton doors as soon as she stepped onto that stage, sophisticated in a pencil skirt and blouse and armed with powerhouse vocals.

The audience were almost literally blown away by Azealia’s acapella intro which perfectly showcased her stunning vocal range and confirmed the simple fact: Girl can sing.

Like really sing. With all the controversy that plagues her off the stage, it’s easy to forget – or even be unaware – that on-stage, Azealia is an extremely talented artist. Which makes it quite sad that her unique artistry has become lost in scandal over the eight years since she debuted with the monster hit 212.

So, Azealia has a lot to prove on this UK tour. She has to show that she truly cares about her music and can be professional – both of which were obvious at the Electric Brixton performance.

It was a surprising show, free of Kanye-esque rants or disorganisation.

Azealia was straight to business and, aside from on five-minute break, did not slow the acceleration. She gave the fans what they wanted and that was her undivided attention and, most importantly, the hits.

From the moment she arrived on-stage, the floor was constantly thumping with the audience completely taken over by the banging beats of her 90s-rave inspired catalogue. From Anna Wintour to Liquorice, it was one non-stop party and Azealia was the perfect host.

Weaving in between her eclectic catalogue, Azealia occasionally dropped a little acapella just to remind us of her vocal abilities – she was originally meant to do theatre, dahhhling.

Not to forget, Azealia is just as much a slick rapper as she a singer. She can easily belt out a lengthy vibrato as she can wrap her tongue around wordplay and a rapid flow.

There’s no end to her talents and it’s a reminder of what could have been for her career circa 2012, when she was on the precipice of breaking out commercially.

Perhaps the biggest shock of the Electric Brixton show, was that Azealia was actually likeable. Maybe that’s because her verbal interaction with the audience was somewhat limited – thus no room for offensive ramblings – or that, simply, the music was allowed to speak for itself.

With a tour and new album on the way, 2019 could be a momentous year for Azealia Banks – Irish slurs aside.
