"Miss Amor" is a song performed by Azealia Banks. It serves as the fifteenth track on Azealia's debut album Broke With Expensive Taste.
Background[]
"Miss Amor" was to be the first single from Azealia Banks' debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste but, according to Banks, after her record labe Interscope heard the track "Yung Rapunxel", they made it the first single instead.
When “Miss Amor” was going to be a single, its B-side was to be “Miss Camaraderie”; while that never happened, the two songs were still paired together as the last two tracks on Broke with Expensive Taste.
On January 8, 2018, Azealia shared a couple of stories on her Instagram revealing that she planned to shoot a music video for the track.
Music and composition[]
Banks stated on Twitter that "Miss Amor" was about love post-hearbreak, and more specifically:
"Miss Amor, is a song about, romance, daydreaming and masturbation. Hence the "diddling"[1]
Critical reception[]
DIY Mag opined:
"The most directly love-referencing and bittersweet cut to appear on the record. Following the Ariel Pink-stamped bad trip, heartbreak’s on her mind. ‘212’ is outdone in the c-word stakes (“C***-t-t c*** c*** c*** c***-t-t c*** c*** c***,” being a particular lyrical highlight) and it’s not hard to work out the general tone of this post-breakup blast. Azealia’s best when she’s angry, fizzing with frustration."[2]
The Guardian opined:
"The album’s closing pair, Miss Amor and Miss Camaraderie, find Lone bringing out some of his best ideas for Banks: martial tattoos, tropical synths, unexpected horn outros."[3]
Music video[]
On January 8, 2018, Azealia shared a couple of stories on her Instagram revealing that she planned to shoot a music video for the track.
Azealia was looking for people in New York City and a director to shoot a short film for the track, said audiovisual had already been thought for a long time but for various reasons it could never be specified, so she already had a script planned and the amount of people who should appear (around 14 people) and she was hoping to make a mini movie with theatrical elements using the aesthetics of the 80s and 90s.
She planned to have it already completed for February 14, 2018 (Valentine's Day) but finally it was not like that and it is unknown if a shot was achieved.
