"Escapades" is a song recorded by American rapper Azealia Banks for her upcoming sophomore album, Fantasea II: The Second Wave. Production of the song was handled by O/W/W/W/L/S, while the song was penned by Banks alone.[1] The original version of the song was released as a free streaming single, on June 26, 2017, to Banks' SoundCloud.[2] The final version of the song is expected to be released on August 9, 2017, via iTunes and Spotify. Banks has confirmed via Twitter that the single will be apart of the "Escapades EP", a collection of different versions and remixes of the song.

Background

The song was originally conceived as the unreleased track "Bizarra", produced by Disclosure, which was intended for Banks' debut studio album Broke with Expensive Taste. Banks has said that she will be solely singing on the track, and has described it as "very orgasmic" although not being "a sexual song," with more singing than rap.[3] Banks has announced via her Twitter account that the final version of the song will be released on iTunes and other streaming platforms.

Reception

Anna Gaca, a writer for Spin, described the two versions of the song as "works-in-progress".[4]
