Ninajirachi & Porter Robinson Link On ‘WannaCry’

Clash · 9 hours ago

Australian producer Ninajirachi and American electronic artist Porter Robinson have officially released their long-awaited collaboration 'WannaCry', after previewing the track live at Coachella and various other shows and festivals. The song holds personal significance for Ninajirachi, tracing back to the first concert she attended as a teenager — a Porter Robinson show at Sydney's Enmore Theatre — making the eventual collaboration a full-circle moment roughly a decade later.

The track is written from the perspective of the notorious 2017 WannaCry ransomware attack, recasting its destructive nature as something transcendent, and blends Robinson's electropop style with Ninajirachi's distinctive production. It arrives on the back of strong momentum for both artists: Ninajirachi's acclaimed debut album 'I Love My Computer' has driven sold-out headline shows across Australia, while Robinson's 2021 album 'Nurture' powered the highest-grossing electronic tour of that year, and he has since released his third album, 'SMILE! :D'.
