‘ATM Jam’ Video: Azealia Banks Is Still Trying

It is not the happiest pop star story. But Azealia has not given up, and so here is the video for her Pharrell-produced single “ATM Jam.” Bad news: Pharrell did not agree to cameo. Good news: It is way less scary than the last video. That is progress.
