Single of the Day: Iggy Azalea feat. Rita Ora - Black Widow

Oleh: admincd - 28 Aug 2014

Released by: Universal Music Indonesia

Iggy Azalea semakin menujukkan taringnya. Setelah kesuksesan raksasa Fancy, ia kini siap menyusul dengan single terbarunya yang bertajuk Black Widow. Sebagaimana Fancy, ia tidak sendiri. Lagi-lagi ia menarik penyanyi Inggris untuk menemaninya dan kali ini giliran penyanyi yang tengah menanjak namanya, Rita Ora, untuk menemaninya.

Ora bertugas untuk menyanyikan hook pada chorusnya. Vokal Ora melaksanakan tugasnya dengan cukup baik. Power dan intensitas ditiupkan dengan prima oleh Ora. Selintas memang agak mengingatkan akan gaya bernyanyi ala Katy Perry. Tidak mengherankan sebenarnya karena Perry merupakan salah satu penulis lagu dari Black Widow, bersama Sarah Hudson, Benny Blanco, dan duo Stargate yang juga bertugas sebagai produser.

Awalnya lagu ini memang diniatkan untuk terdapat dalam album Perry, Prism. Namun, karena satu dan lain hal batal dan kemudian diserahkan kepada Azalea yang menulis ulang dan menjadikannya sebagai lagu Hip-hop, meski tentunya tidak melepaskan semangat Pop-nya dengan begitu saja.

Bertema feminisme, Black Widow terdengar gelap, meski tetap terdengar catchy. Rap ala Azalea tetap terdengar “fancy” seperti biasanya. Tidak perlu berbicara panjang lebar tentang bagaimana kualitas rapping dari Azalea. Kolaborasinya dengan Ora juga cukup kompak.

Menariknya, sebagaimana Dark Horse milik Perry, Black Widow juga memakai Trap yang tengah populer sebagai balura utama lagunya. Ketukan drum yang berderap berseling dengan bass yang berat yang terdengar monoton justru menjadi kekuatan utamanya dalam memberangus pendengaran untuk terjerat dalam belitan jaring sang laba-laba hitam. Infectious!

LYRIC

I'm gonna love you

Until you hate me

And I'm gonna show you

What's really crazy

You should've known better

Then to mess with me, heartache

I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you

Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you

Like a black widow, baby

This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same

First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray

We went from nothing to something liking to loving

It was us against the world now we just fucking

It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you

Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you

I wanted all or nothing for us ain't no place in between

By me believing what you say that you never mean

Like It'll last for ever but now forever ain't as long

If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song

You was different from my last but now you got a mirror

But as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer

Now sing

You used to be thirsty for me

But now you wanna be set free

This is the web, the web that you weave

So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)

I'm gonna love you

Until you hate me

And I'm gonna show you

What's really crazy

You should've known better

Then to mess with me, heartache

I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you

Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you

Like a black widow, baby

I'm gonna love you until it hurts

Just to get you I'm doing whatever works

You'd have never met nobody

That will do you how I do ya

That will bring you to your knees

Praise Jesus hallelujah

Imma make you beg for it, plead for it

Till you feel like you breath for it

Till you do any and everything for it

I want you to fiend for it

Wake up and dream for it

Till it's got you gasping for air

And you leave for it

Til then having kids, can check on your mind

And there's nothing but me on it

Now it's me time believe that

If it's yours when you want it

I wouldn't promise I need that

Till I'm everywhere that you be at

I can't fall back go quick

'Cause this here is fatal attraction so I take it all or I don't want shit

You used to be thirsty for me

But now you wanna be set free

This is the web, the web that you weave

So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)

I'm gonna love you

Until you hate me

And I'm gonna show you

What's really crazy

You should've known better

Then to mess with me, heartache

I'm gonna lie to you, I'm gonna lie to you

Gonna lie to you, gonna lie to you

Like a black widow, baby
