Early in 2012, Banks revealed that her debut album would be called Broke with Expensive Taste and said the album would include contributions from musicians including Toko Yasuda, Theophilus London, Kevin Hussein, and Ariel Pink.
In May 2013, Banks announced that a single from Broke with Expensive Taste would be “ATM Jam”, featuring Pharrell.
On June 29, 2013, she debuted the song at the 2013 Glastonbury Festival, with New York City radio station Hot 97 premiering a clean, shortened version of the studio recording three days later.
She performed there with others, including CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers, The XX, Sergio Mendez, Smashing Pumpkins, Arctic Monkeys, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello, Portishead, Mumford and Sons, Alt-J, Of Monsters and Men and The Lumineers.
On July 28, 2014, Azealia Banks released another single from Broke with Expensive Taste, titled “Heavy Metal and Reflective”, on her own label, Azealia Banks Records.
In 2015, Banks performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and posed nude for the April issue of Playboy, shot by Ellen von Unwerth.
Banks has said she admires American recording artists Beyoncé and Aaliyah, stating the former “[is] the queen of everything. She’s the most remarkable performer and musician. And this is just my humble opinion, but I just think she’s better than everyone else making music right now.” Banks is inspired by, and has drawn directly upon, black gay culture, such as the film Paris Is Burning, in her music.
