In the debut music video for “Let the Music Rock, the first song from their aptly-named pop project, Twin City, real-life twins Anjali and Bhavani Pitti prove that their sibling chemistry carries over onto the screen and pervades their powerfully catchy music.
The video begins with the two sisters controlling a buzzing board of futuristic video screens, maneuvering a mysterious crystal into place to get the party started. That’s when the music starts – and once it does, you’ll have a tough time getting it out of your head.
The track itself is built on an 80s-inspired guitar part that shimmers back and forth over swelling synths before dropping into a steady groove that’s driven by straightforward bass and snare. Vocals enter soon after, with the twins delivering a powerful performance detailing the aftermath of a bad breakup.
5:08, got a text from you
Said it’s over babe
Nothing you can do
Text breakups are awful; not a great way to start an evening, right? Fortunately, as the video makes clear, there’s a way forward, and it involves getting out and letting the music rock.
Out all night, gotta shake it off
Til the morning light, let the music rock
The video traces the journey of the song’s protagonist, all the way from when she receives that first unfortunate text up to the point where she lets the music rock in a club. It’s a story that winds its way through six different locations across New York City, and for a debut video, it’s impressive. Each space is stunningly shot, with lighting that feels straight from a cyberpunk movie scene and wardrobe design that rivals anything on TV these days. All told, it’s an absorbing display, made even more impressive for how it walks the balance between being a visual spectacle and conveying a relatable experience.
Throughout the song and video, the Pitti twins dazzle with powerful pop vocals and charismatic performances. It’s no wonder that Max Lawrence called the pair “double trouble for the world of pop music” and noted that “I can’t get them out of my head” – “Let the Music Rock” is an impressive debut, packed with ear-worm hooks, eye-catching visuals, and potent pop production that’s sure to get heads bobbing and hands waving.
Give “Let the Music Rock” a play to see why this act is building a buzz, but be warned: Once you’ve started rocking to Twin City, it may be hard for you to stop.
