Azealia Banks is already half-finished with her sophomore album, the followup to last year's Broke with Expensive Taste, which was one of Variance's Best Albums of 2014.

The singer revealed in a new interview with NME the LP, titled Business & Pleasure, will arrive next year.

Among other things, Banks discussed her decision to tone down her temper: "Am I hanging up my fighting gloves? Yeah. I’m a lady ... You’ve seen me curse people out. Let’s do something else now."

She also revealed that she and Lana Del Rey have frequent dinner parties and talk about "girl stuff. Like, love and life and stuff. It's cool because I'm really loud and like, aaagh! And she's really reserved and dainty. I love Lana."
