Song of the Week- Black Widow by Iggy Azalea featuring Rita Ora, from the album The New Classic
As she currently rides high on the chart success of her latest single 'Fancy', Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has released her first full length album, The New Classic. One of the shining gems of the set is Rita Ora collaboration Black Widow. Already poised to be the sets next single, the track is a smart slice of sophisticated pop infused with a cool dose of hip hop. Lyrically the track finds Ora and Azalea taking on the roles of powerful girlfriends who are going to love their men until they hate them. Co-written by hit songstress and all-round superstar Katy Perry, the tracks chorus is a razor sharp, excellent piece of work that is brought to life by the smooth and sultry vocals of Ora, whilst Azalea provides some crisp rap verses that act as the perfect complimentary piece to the package. The production straddles the line of clinky hip hop and bubbly pop with it's combination of snappy trap beats and chart ready, strobing synths, and makes for a track that will potentially appeal to both the masses and the hardcore hip hop fans. Black Widow is just a dark but fun song that works as the ideal single choice, and with Katy Perry having already enjoyed her own bout of success with the pop and trap combo in the form of the track 'Dark Horse', it might just be a matter of time before Black Widow is being played all over radio stations worldwide.
