I’ve been skeptical about Rita Ora since the blogosphere and fashion world flipped for her over a year ago, but that was mostly because IF SHE’S SO GOOD, WHERE’S THE PROOF? Why doesn’t she have any hits in America yet? We can’t just take your WORD for it, England! Well, that just might change with this new song by Iggy Azalea, released today. Even though she’s just the the guest rapper, Rita pretty much runs circles around Iggy. She’s good. Really good. And if it sounds suspiciously like a current number one song, there’s a reason for that.
From Idolator:
Iggy Azalea‘s Rita Ora collaboration, “Black Widow,” has hit the Web a few days before the April 22 release of The New Classic, and the first thing that jumped out at us? It sounds an awful lot like “Dark Horse!” Turns out that’s because it was co-written by none other than Katy Perry. The potential single has a similarly snappy, sparse trap beat and the refrain (which is presumably the part KP wrote) follows that song’s formula of a slow-build chorus that never quite bursts.
You know that phenomenon where a guest outraps the song’s primary MC? That’s sort of the case here, with Ora bodying the hook and outshining Iggy’s snarling, bitter verses — even that triple time bit. Hear the song below.
