Can The Song "black Widow" Be Played On Piano?

By Luke Davis


The latest sensational song today is the abrasive "Black Widow" by Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea. Along with the dark words; the energetic tune and gloomy chords give the song edge and grit. It seems like there could be no way to make the song beautiful. It also seems like it would be impossible to play this rap song on piano. Its like putting the left foot in the right shoe.

You really can't play rap music on piano, so there is the difficulty of playing Iggy Azalea's part. Furthermore, it just seems like it would be too edgy to work as a piano instrumental. Nevertheless, even this song can be transformed into a piano instrumental.

If you play over the synth background riff you can recreate Iggy Azalea's rap part. And the dark chords truly sound good in the lower keys of the piano. Rita Ora's part is simple to turn into a piano instrumental, and because there's so many gaps between her phrases you can even play the background riff in between the melody line.

There are various things you could try for the accompaniment. You can follow up a booming bass note with a softer mid range configuration, jump bass could work well. To acquire a soft yet mystical sound you can arpeggiate the harmonies. Other than playing block chords, following the bass drum rhythm for the pattern can also create thicker texture.

Now for the melody line, it would be good to blend various approaches for various intensity levels. For the introduction, solitary notes could be played. Then for the verse you can add a harmony note with the other fingers in the right hand to pick up the intensity a bit. Now when it comes to the chorus, you could bring the intensity if you play in octaves or full chords.

Even if it might seem weird, the song "Black Widow" can still sound good even if you play it on piano...now that's a 'rap'.
