Azalea 's debut album was slated for an October release but in an interview with Australia 's '' Herald Sun '' , she revealed due to other commitments such as supporting Beyoncé on her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour her record label would not allow her to release '' The New Classic '' until March 2014 . She said : " The official date ? Fucked if I know ! It 's done , it 's so depressing to say this but it 's the beginning of March , it 's so far away but I just have to accept that . " She explained the reasons behind the delay : " It was supposed to be October but obviously I 'm going on tour with Beyoncé and they said I 'm not allowed to put an album out while I 'm on tour because I 'll be trapped in Australia and I wo n't be able to do any TV appearances and I thought that 's fair enough , that 's three weeks and then they said ' You ca n't put an album out around Christmas time , that 's a bad time ' and I said ' What about January ? ' ' Well nobody gets back off holidays and then it 's the BRIT Awards , you ca n't release an album , it 's terrible for marketing ' which brings me to February . " On 10 November , Azalea performed " Blurred Lines " with Robin Thicke at the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards
