New Bottega

Azealia Banks' song 'New Bottega' is a bold and unapologetic celebration of luxury, fashion, and self-empowerment. The lyrics are a testament to Banks' confidence and her embrace of high-end fashion brands like Bottega Veneta, Prada, Gucci, and more. By name-dropping these luxury brands, Banks not only showcases her taste but also asserts her status and power in the world of fashion and beyond. The repetition of 'New Bottega, Prada-da' serves as a mantra, reinforcing her identity as a diva who is always on the cutting edge of style.

The song also delves into themes of transformation and influence. Banks describes how she can elevate others, turning a boy into a model by dressing him in Galliano. This act of 'renaming' and 'making him famous' highlights her ability to shape and influence the world around her. The lyrics 'I'm icin' out his chain and still grippin' the stainless' juxtapose luxury with a sense of danger, suggesting that while she enjoys the finer things in life, she remains vigilant and aware of the risks that come with her lifestyle.

In the latter part of the song, Banks introduces a darker, almost apocalyptic imagery with lines like 'I'll survive the Third World War, gettin' high in a coal mine.' This shift in tone adds a layer of complexity to the song, suggesting that beneath the surface of glamour and luxury, there is a recognition of the chaos and challenges of the world. Despite this, Banks remains resilient and unyielding, embodying the spirit of a 'double D cup diva' who is both fierce and unbreakable. The song is a powerful anthem of self-assurance, luxury, and the relentless pursuit of one's desires.
