Before you proceed, stop and listen. It will take four minutes of your time, but that will be four minutes well spent.
Right. Fantastic, no? Now let's discuss.
Since we last heard from Booty Luv with 2009's incredible, rave siren-spouting "Say It", it's become apparent that Booty Luv aren't the least bit concerned with changing up their winning formula of releasing club-friendly tunes.
To start off with, that opening lyric "He should be thinking about staying away" is a fantastic way to begin the song. Yes, as you could decipher from the song's title, the girls are singing about being a black widow where they will break those boys' hearts, chew them up spit them out, etc., but what is great about this track is a handful of great lyrical and musical moments that set it apart from the other dance-club singles permeating the music scene right now. The "Gonna be the last love of your life" bit in the chorus, the "I got that black black widow widow" bit in the bridge (or "pre-chorus", for you non-music insiders) - these are examples of the clever little pieces that we are just loving about this song.
Then at 3:19, the song just transforms and turns itself into some late-night rave-a-thon, with stuttered vocal samples and synths set on scare mode that will most likely cause people hearing this in a club to lose their shit and "get those hands up".
We're not sure if it will set the charts alight, since "Say It" failed to do that three years ago and we all know how great of a tune that was, but then worrying about how high it will get in the midweeks isn't really what pop music is about, is it?
