Azealia Banks reveals the single cover for her new single ATM Jam featuring Pharrell Williams. The song is the second single to be released from Azealia's upcoming debut album Broke With Expensive Taste due this Summer.  Pharrell previewed the chorus to this song in a video that's online. I'm not sure how old the video is but I heard the song ATM Jam was originally a demo for Swizz Beats. You know what the say, one person's trash is another person's treasure. Hopefully this song will the commercial hit that Azealia needs to jump start her album.

Tears Always Win is the next single release from Alicia Keys. Her current single Fire We Make featuring Maxwell just got the video release treatment a few weeks ago.  It looks like Alicia is pushing out these singles to keep her album sales for Girl On Fire healthy. So far to date the album has sold roughly 670,000 copies. That's good numbers but for an artist like Alicia Keys that is a little underwhelming.
