That's right, folks. Iggy Azalea has another top 20 single this year, and just like with Fancy, it's awesome. Alongside that, she brought along amazing vocalist Rita Ora to add to how good the song is. Really, this review's gonna be covered majorly with praise, so just sit back and enjoy the positivity.
To start off, this song has a really dark feel that works incredibly well with the lyrics displaying Iggy's incredible ability to show vulnerability. Speaking of the lyrics, they're able to show how mad at the guy in question she is and how heartbroken she is that the relationship didn't work out without outright demonizing him, and any song that's able to do that automatically has my respect.
Rita Ora's chorus adds to the dark feel of the song and really gives her the ability to show off her vocal abilities. It's her work on songs like this and I Will Never Let You Down that really fit her style, and she should definitely do more songs like that and less like generic crap like How We Do (Party).
As for the production, it's minimalist, but also ominous and interesting enough to keep the song from being boring, which really lends the song a lot to work with.
If I had to have a complaint about the song, it is that Iggy's flow is a bit choppy and disjointed, and that can get in the way a some points in the song. Still, it's not a major hindrance, and doesn't keep the song from being as great as it is. I give it a 4 out of 5, and am comforted in the knowledge that it's songs like this that continue to prove how awesome Iggy Azalea is.
(Also, sorry for how incredibly late this review is. I completely forgot about it last Thursday and just recently started my senior year of high school. Don't worry. There will be a new review this Thursday.)
I love this song, but it still isn't my favourite song from either artist. For Iggy, it's Trouble with Jennifer Hudson, and for Rita Ora, it's Poison, which might be my favourite pop song from all of 2015. Unfortunately, they weren't hits in the U.S.A. I only know about them because I live in the UK, where they were both hits.
