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.
The rap part of Iggy Azalea could be overcome by simply improvising over the synth background riff. And the mysterious chords truly sound good in the lower keys of the piano. There is a lot of space between the phrases on Rita Ora's part which makes it easy to play it as a piano instrumental. The background riff could be played in between the melody line.
There are truly lots of different things you could try for the accompaniment. What could work well is to follow up the gritty bass note with a lighter mid scale configuration. In other words: jump bass. In order to obtain a soft yet mysterious sound you can arpeggiate the chords. Following the bass drum rhythm for the arrangement and playing block chords could create a thicker texture.
Blending various styles for different energy levels can be good for the melody line. Playing only solitary notes for the intro could work. Then for the verse you can add a harmony note with the right hand to be able to pick up the energy a notch. Lastly for the chorus you could play in octaves or full chords to produce a huge effect.
To conclude, while it may seem strange for various rap songs like Black Widow to be played as piano instrumentals, they still sound great.
