Azealia Banks Releases ‘Count Contessa’ Video
Azealia Banks has released a new video for her track "Count Contessa."
The 24-year-old "212" singer appears in the clip, which was directed Rony Alwin, according to Pitchfork.
Banks is first seen in the video walking down the street carrying a small piglet. She continues to walk it on the shoreline of a beach when she encounters a fortune teller, which is also played by Banks, and she has her fortune told for 25 cents.
"Will I ever find true love?" she asks.
The fortune teller responds, "Yes, you will find true love."
She responds by jumping up and down, expressing her elation at finding out her fortune's outcome. The fortune teller parts ways with her by saying, "Goodbye, my child, and good luck."
As the track starts playing, the scene changes to Banks wearing a bathing suit at night while dancing and smiling on the beach near the water. At one point in the video the image of flames rising underneath Banks appears on the screen. Toward the end of the clip she cozies up, while standing next to a mysterious woman.
Banks previously shared some of the visuals from the music video with Fun-Mag, while also giving them access to a behind-the-scenes look into her life.
"I've been working on a full body of work, aka an album, since I was 17 years old. Now, all sorts of things like life and circumstance have happened since then," Banks said. In the video she talks about all the decisions she's made in her career to lead up to the release of her debut album, "Broke With Expensive Taste."
"Count Contessa" appears on Banks' upcoming mixtape, "Fantasea II," which is the follow-up to her 2012 mixtape, "Fantasea."
Banks released her debut album, "Broke With Expensive Taste," Nov. 7, 2014. The album produced the singles "Yung Rapunxel," "Heavy Metal and Reflective," "Chasing Time" and "Ice Princess."
