Iggy Azalea is making her next play for cultural dominance vis a vis the intersection of music and video—in other words, she’s dropped another new classic that you’ve gotta see.
Part B-movie, part Bonnie & Clyde and part ’70s cop film, “Trouble” pits Azalea and her bad, bad boyfriend against eagle-eyed cop Jennifer Hudson, whose function through the video is to make her best dubious face. As she is an Oscar-winning actress, that’s pretty damn dubious.

As always in Azalea’s videos the wardrobe is on point. She goes from a DVF-esque wrap dress with Farrah Fawcett hair to body-hugging bell bottoms and bright red lip stick. The halter top is everything, as is the scene at the end where she attempts to buddy up to Hudson and gets arrested.
It may not have the cultural cache of her Clueless inspired “Fancy” video, but Azalea is still head and shoulders above most artists in the video game with “Trouble.”
