Iggy Azalea 'The New Classic' Release Date Delayed: Debut Album from 'Work' Rapper Due Out March 2014

Fans anxiously awaiting the release of Iggy Azalea's debut album "The New Classic" are going to have to wait for some time longer. The Australian "Work" rapper admitted in an interview with The Herald Sun (via NME) that her record, originally due out this month has been pushed back to March 2014.

"The official date? F*cked if I know! It's done; it's so depressing to say this but it's the beginning of March. It's so far away, but I just have to accept that," she said.

According to Azalea, the record was pushed back due to her upcoming gig supporting Beyoncé on the Australian leg of her The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. That, mixed with the paltry album sales in December and January, led to the March date. It seems as though Azalea is at the mercy of her record company.

"It was supposed to be October, but obviously I'm going on tour with Beyoncé, and they said I'm not allowed to put an album out while I'm on tour because I'll be trapped in Australia, and I won't be able to do any TV appearances. And, I thought, that's fair enough, that's three weeks," she said. "Then they said, 'You can't put an album out around Christmas time, that's a bad time."

Azalea's debut album, "The New Classic," was originally due out in October. It's led by singles "Work," "Bounce" and "Change Your Life."
