Masterfully performed and produced, Twin City’s debut music video for “Let the Music Rock” is a cyberpunk-reminiscent, feel-good banger that introduces New York City’s new pop act to the masses in a glamorous glow of blue neon light.
The video opens with the true-life twin sisters behind Twin City, Anjali and Bhavani Pitti, decked out in stunning, android-esque attire. They stride down a blue-lit hall toward an ominous, whirring video screen to place a glowing crystal on a mysterious device… and that’s when the fun really starts.
Cue the first strains of an incredibly catchy retro-future guitar riff and cut to the video’s protagonist, who received a surprise breakup text resulting in a spontaneous decision to hail a cab and hit the city.
From there, it’s a party.
Filmed in six locations around New York City (including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens), the project features a mesmerizing array of characters and costumes. From the aforementioned android-inspired outfits to club-perfect cuts, used in underground-inspired scenes that allow for the creation of tension through cool choreography.
The lighting choices are consistently creative, featuring a range of looks from hazy yellows to blue neon glows, and every scene is beautifully shot. And the pay-off – when the protagonist enters the club where Anjali and Bhavani are performing – is pure fun.
Taken altogether, it’s like watching a music video from the world of a cyberpunk movie.
“[The music video] gave us the opportunity to explore other facets of our creativity and showcase and express ourselves in another medium,” explain the twins. “We got a chance to play a few different characters that tied into one cohesive story that creates high appeal imagery to convey the song’s relatable themes such as heartbreak and the reclaiming of personal power.”
“Let the Music Rock” is the debut single from Twin City, who garnered the following praise from Max Lawrence (internationally renowned vocal coach of Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera, etc.)
The duo’s debut track was produced by Damian Dustin and mastered by Randy Merrill, and was released to a sold-out show in New York City. It will be followed with forthcoming songs and videos and supported by a series of spontaneous, pop-up performances around New York City during the fall and early winter of 2022.
