Not only is she a beautiful ballad singer, but it’s clear she’s more than capable of producing an upbeat summer tune too. Talia Ryder poses as the new girlfriend experiencing all that Rodrigo did first as Ryder is seen driving in the car and eating strawberry ice cream the idea that we’ve seen this all before is hammered home.ĭespite seeming underwhelming following the global success of ‘drivers license’, ‘deja vu’ demonstrates Rodrigo’s versatility. Allie Avital’s directorial choices showcase the grandeur and Hollywood movie star aspects. Though the vintage TVs do succumb to Rodrigo’s revenge tirade and end up in shards like in her ‘mom’ Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space’ video. It rejoices the arrival of sunnier weather and a newer state of mind as self-growth is encapsulated in the overall ambience. Sharing a subtle resemblance to its predecessor ‘drivers license’, the corresponding music video to the track marks the return of the White Mercedes, though now driving around sunny Malibu roads instead of dusky streets, in this colourful watch. With parallels to the first verse, the repetition in the bridge enhances the titular feeling and is reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s ‘Cruel Summer’ in its melody. When Rodrigo stated in the premiere the bridge is her favourite part, it is now clear that she is a master at creating these powerful crescendos to end her songs. Though like her debut single, it’s the concluding bridge that perfectly ties the track together. Rodrigo begins the second verse stating: “I bet that she knows Billy Joel / ‘Cause you played her ‘Uptown Girl'” and “She thinks it’s special / it’s all re-used”, singing about past memories that have now been shared with someone else.Ĭountering the bitterness of the lyrics, the chorus progresses the song with the addition of grunge-inspired over-driven guitar and drumbeats (think the production on Lorde’s ‘Hard Feelings’) as Rodrigo quips “Do you get deja vu?”. The piercing lyrics shade an ex for moving on with a new girlfriend and immersing themselves in a relationship so similar that it creates these feelings of ‘deja vu’. Yet while ‘drivers license’ basks in the melancholy of a break-up, ‘deja vu’ is powerful in its dedication to the anger residing after the initial hurt. Starting gracefully with twinkling music-box piano and innocent details of strawberry ice cream and car rides to Malibu, ‘deja vu’ highlights Rodrigo’s incredible vocals as she sings about teenage infatuation. ![]() Only three months after she broke the streaming charts with her debut single, comes the release of indie-pop song ‘deja vu’ the track precedes an eleven-track album set for release on 21 May (though the title and track list have yet to be disclosed). Considering that Rodrigo may have had a relationship with actor and singer Joshua Bassett, there was an added thrill of knowing that this song may or may not have been another message for him.Olivia Rodrigo has taken her ‘drivers license’ and is now going places in the music industry. Since Rodrigo continues to write music about heartache and loss, it’s clear that she’s processing unresolved feelings of hurt and abandonment. “ So when you gonna tell her that we did that too?//She thinks it’s special, but it’s all reused.” Rodrigo knows the game that’s being played a little too well. She calls out what may be a fake facade in her beautifully crafted lyrics. In the song, Rodrigo questions whether her anonymous ex will tell his new partner the truth about himself. As it played, I could feel the strong emotions Rodrigo was conveying towards an anonymous ex, feelings of honesty as well as a little jealousy. “Deja vu” is an easy-going, beautiful, and serene piece, and it was a dream to listen to. And perhaps most-tellingly in the lyrics of Deja Vu is the fact that the singer identifies this other lady as being another actress. Also akin to Drivers License, her ex’s new girlfriend is the third character in the song. Even though I was not a fan of Rodrigo in the beginning, her most recent single might have changed that. This is because just as with Drivers License, on this track the singer is addressing an ex-boyfriend. Overall, I am blown away by how much this eighteen-year-old has accomplished. Most recently, Rodrigo gained attention in the Disney Plus original, High School Musical: The Musical – The Series. She also played the titular role of Grace in American Girl’s 2015 movie, Grace Stirs Up Success. Rodrigo starred in Bizaardvark, where she played one of the main characters: Paige Olvera. I recognized the young singer’s name from my days of watching Disney shows. At the time, I questioned why the song started to grow in popularity I was not a fan of it, and I found it genuinely annoying. Olivia Rodrigo is famously known for her single hit, “drivers license,” which was released in early January. ![]()
