Netsky x Rita Ora's Barricades: First listen of the Stargate-produced summer anthem

officialcharts.com:

Just over a decade ago, Rita Ora burst onto the music scene with Number 1 DJ Fresh drum and bass collaboration Hot Right Now.

Since then, break beats have proven the backbone to much of her output; heard on tracks like Rudimental tune Summer Love and Sigma feature Coming Home.

So, it makes total sense that Belgian producer Netsky has recruited Rita for his brand new single Barricades. The 33-year-old DJ, real name Boris Daenen, is back with his huge new summer anthem; all with a little help from Norwegian production house Stargate.

And, as you can imagine given the names involved, it does not disappoint. 'Excuse me, can we talk?' Rita Ora asks atop a building electronic beat. 'No swearing, no insults...' It's clear, from the outset, that a conversation needs to be had. 'Look at all the mess we made to get to where the both of us say these big words, I'm sorry.' It's the tale of a relationship turned sour, and Rita's ready to address it.
