Last night, Iggy came through and delivered her highly-cinematic “Savior” clip out.
In February, a report emerged about Iggy low-key parting ways with Def Jam Records.
Sources tell Billboard it was not long after that internal spat spilled out into the public last year that Azalea was shifted from Def Jam to Island. Both labels are owned by the Universal Music Group, and when Azalea first signed with the company back in 2013, the two were combined under the umbrella Island Def Jam Music Group. On April 1, 2014, Universal announced a reorganization of its East Coast labels operation that involved the separation of Island Records, Def Jam Recordings and Motown into three individual standalone labels; three weeks later, Azalea’s major label debut album, The New Classic, was released via Def Jam, not Island.

Azalea’s new “Savior” single went national after appearing in the batch of Super Bowl LII commercials for tech giant Monster.
Joining Azalea in the ad is a star-studded cast of artists spanning virtually every music genre, including legendary Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, chart-topping hip hop icon Yo Gotti, Big & Rich country star Big Kenny, singer, dancer, actor and TV personality Joey Fatone, songwriter/producer Poo-Bear, reality TV star and entrepreneur Jonathan Cheban, radio host/TV personality Charlamagne tha God, as well as the award-winning DJ Irie and musical artist and influential YouTuber RiceGum, who plays the young “Head Monster” Noel Lee. Head Monster Noel Lee and Monster COO Fred Khalilian appear as themselves at the end of the spot.
