We are Echo Mirror. We are twins, and we often think about how we are each other’s echo and mirror. We were raised in a family-focused on education and hard work. We have been in love with music since we were little kids. We learned to play several instruments and participated in choirs when we could. In high school, we felt a strong desire to compose our own songs and we wrote our first song, Thunder. We sang Thunder for the first time at a talent show at our high school. That first performance was a little nerve-wracking. We ended up recording it soon after we finished and that is how we started our recording career. We hope we have a chance to keep sharing our music with the world through these tough times and after. We want to be composing, performing, and singing together across the world.
For as long as they can remember twin sisters, Sephora and Senora Bateman have always enjoyed music. That’s resulted in them forming their group Echo Mirror. They choose that name based on being twin sisters and being each other’s echo and mirror. The group’s tagline, “When my melody meets her harmony, we get a perfect symphony,” also shows the tight musical connection that comes from them being twins.
I like that they are open to learning and growing in their musical craft with this invitation for comments that is found on their website’s front page, “Welcome any comments! While the negative ones will refine you, the positive ones will strengthen you.” Too often I’ve found young artists are closed off to any criticism, even if meant positively and thus aren’t able to grow and get better.
Even though the Bateman sisters had a love for music and performed in several groups while growing up it wasn’t until after graduating from high school that their education first family gave their blessing to start recording music. Over those years of waiting the sisters honed their musical talents learning how to play several instruments and writing songs.
While Echo Mirror’s music is built on a straight-up pop sound you can also hear their other musical influences that include, Taylor Swift and Enrique Iglesias to Sega from islands in the Indian Ocean.
The twin sisters have a noble cause that they hope their music will achieve, “We hope we have a chance to keep sharing our music with the world through these tough times and after. We want to be composing, performing, and singing together across the world and bring the world together in unity.”
The Bateman sisters produced and wrote all of the songs found on their first album, ‘Break Out,’ which is now out.
I got to listen to several of Echo Mirror’s songs and found them to be well done and will act as a solid base to build on with future projects.
You can learn more about Echo Mirror at their website, https://echomirrormusic.com/. There you will also be able to find links to their, Facebook and Twitter sites along with their YouTube channel.

Remember Olivia Rodrigo? Yeah! She is back again with another hit track titled Deja Vu. Following the groundbreaking success of her debut single “Drivers Licence” Olivia Rodrigo has released another top song.
Remember Olivia Rodrigo? Yeah! She is back again with another hit track titled Deja Vu. Following the groundbreaking success of her debut single “Drivers Licence” on streaming platforms and music charts around the world, Olivia Rodrigo has released another top song. There are little deviations from her “Drivers License” hit to her latest hit “Deja Vu”. Many patterns in the video for Deja Vu reminisce some scenes in “Drivers License”, like driving a car at the beginning of the video and thinking about her ex. What is with Olivia Rodrigo and her ex?
First, it was Drivers Licence and all the breakup saga on the track. At a time Olivia Rodrigo admitted she had a painful breakup before the song was released. Now it is “Deja Vu,” and she is still talking about her ex. Olivia Rodrigo must have been left devastated about her previous relationship. There is no proof that she is traumatized from her previous relationship, but it is only a fact that you can only paint a vivid picture of what you have witnessed.
On the bright side, Olivia Rodrigo has been able to paint a melodious picture of heartbreak scenarios in two of her songs. Deja Vu debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 8 while Drivers License topped the chart on its debut. With these achievements, Olivia Rodrigo became the first artist in history to have his/her first two songs debuted on the top 10.
Background
Deja Vu was released on the 1st of April, 2021 by the artist’s label, Geffen and Interscope Records. Before the released date was announced, Olivia Rodrigo had deleted all her Instagram photos which kept fans guessing her next move. On wiping out her Instagram photos, she explained to fans that it was for the release of her new single Deja Vu.
Late in March 2021, Olivia Rodrigo started posting cryptic teasers of the song on all her social media accounts. On the 29th of March, she announced the name of the track and even posted the song’s artistic cover that same day. When she announced that the song would be released on April 1, 2021, she assured fans that it was not the April fool prank.
When Olivia Rodrigo teased the announcement of Deja Vu with three flickering clips of a melting ice cream cone, floating clouds, and a car speeding along the coast, fans may have wondered if the song would be similar to “Drivers License”. In an interview, Olivia Rodrigo told MTV News that the track was not like ‘Drivers License’ and that she was both excited and anxious about her fans seeing a different side of her artistry on it.
So far, Deja Vu has been lauded by fans, artists, and music analysts, with many calling Olivia Rodrigo the next pop music heavyweight. Deja Vu debuted at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 music chart, and it has been streamed over a million times.
Composition and genre
Deja Vu hit track can be categorized as pop, Indie pop, alternative pop, and psychedelic pop song. The song was written by Olivia Rodrigo and Dan Nigro. While the latter was attributed to the song’s production, other important individuals like Randy Merrill and Mitch McCarthy who mastered and mixed the song respectively should also be noted.
The video
Olivia Rodrigo premiered her new single “Deja Vu” on YouTube and MTV before it was launched, and she confirmed that the music video for “Deja Vu” was filmed in Malibu. Allie Avital directed the video for the song. Talia Ryder was starred in the music video. Olivia Rodrigo’s first appearance in the video was in a car driving and eating ice cream as she approaches a building.
She looks through the window of the building and smiles at the girl inside, who is dressed in a green dress and seems to be reminiscing. Olivia Rodrigo stared at the lady for a while until she left for her convertible vintage Mercedes Benz parked outside. When she returned home, she changes into the exact green gown she saw earlier and enters a room with several TVs stacked on top of each other, all of which are playing videos of the girl she saw.
As Olivia Rodrigo rewinds the video, it shows her and not the other girl doing the same thing. When she eventually realizes that the girl is stealing all of her true memories, she smashes the televisions with a hammer. There’s just one TV left when she’s done, and it’s showing the other girl lip-syncing the words “I know you get Deja Vu.”
The ending scene is a repetition of the first scene, with the exception that the other girl is driving instead of Olivia Rodrigo. Since the premiere of the music video of Deja Vu, it has been view over 28 million times on YouTube. Watch the video of the song below.
Olivia Isabel Rodrigo is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She was born on the 20th of February, 2003 in Temecula, California. The artist rose to prominence in acting before branching out to music where she broke a lot of music streaming records as a debutant.
After signing with Interscope and Geffen Records in 2020, she released her debut single “Drivers License,” which went to number one position on top music charts in several countries around the world, including the US.
Currently, Olivia Rodrigo is working on her debut album titled “Sour” which is due to be released in May 2021. So far she has only dropped two singles from that album, of which Déjà Vu is the latest of them. Click here to read about Olivia Rodrigo’s record-breaking debut track “Drivers License”.
I will be surprised if you don’t know Lil Nas X by now because the lad doesn’t know how to stay away from the news. Montero (Call Me by Your Name) is the latest hit of Lil Nas X.
I will be surprised if you don’t know Lil Nas X by now because the lad doesn’t know how to stay away from the news. Montero (Call Me by Your Name) is the latest hit of Lil Nas X. The song was first previewed in a Super bowl LV commercial in February 2021 and on March 26, 2021, Columbia Records released the track. Furthermore, the track is the title track for the artist’s upcoming professional debut album which is expected to be released somewhere in the middle of this year.
Lil Nas X has received critical review and controversial criticism since his leap into the musical limelight. From being a well-loved, popular, and trending teen to America’s next best upcoming artist who has left no stone unturned Lil Nas X is the news. When Lil Nas X released his first professional song “Old Town Road”, it became an instant hit, it even debuted as number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. During that time the young rapper came out as gay, which stunned the world of music.
Everything from his music to his personal life has been top-notch. Musically, Lil Nas X has done well for himself, his first and only two professional singles so far have debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and he has won a host of top musical awards including the Grammys. On the other hand, his personal life has been received with bouts of criticism and mixed opinions.
Background of the track (Montero: Call Me By Your Name)
Montero (Call Me By Your Name) is Lil Nas X’s second professional musical single under the soon-to-be-launched Montero album. In a Twitter video on July 9, 2020, Lil Nas X played a snippet of the song (originally titled “Call Me by Your Name”), as well as in the background of some TikTok videos, including one addressed to American rapper 6ix9ine.
On February 2021, the track was used in a Logitech advert that aired during Super Bowl LV. Thereafter, its release date, and its artistic cover was revealed on Twitter in March 9, 2021. In a reinterpretation of Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam, Spanish–Croatian artist Filip Ćustić designed the single cover, which features Lil Nas X as both Adam and God. The song’s title “Montero” was named after Lil Nas X (Montero Lamar Hill) and the subtitle was adopted from the movie “Call Me By Your Name”.
After the song’s premiere, André Aciman, the author of the novel “Call Me by Your Name”, from which the film was adapted, expressed gratitude and humility for Lil Nas X’s song of the same name. Lil Nas X later claimed that the film was one of the first queer films he had ever watched, feeling “very artsy” and encouraging him to write about the idea of calling someone by their name as lovers and wanting to hold things between you two.
Composition and Lyrics
“Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” can be categorized as a hip hop and electropop song featuring a syncopated guitar and handclaps. Lil Nas x, Denzel Baptiste, David Biral, and Omer Fedi wrote the track while Roy Lenzo and the song’s composers except for Lil Nas X collaborated to produce the hit song. On the “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” hit track, Lil Nas X attempts to end pretending with his significant other and start acting like they’ve known each other for a long time.
The lyrics of the song featured Lil Nas X singing about a trip to Hawaii and includes the line “shoot a child in yo’ mouth while I’m ridin’,” which was meant to help break down the stigma surrounding gay sexual activities in music. Also, the lyrics provides a reference to the 19 weeks his first single “Old Town Road” spent atop the Billboard Hot 100 when he said “A dime and a nine, it was mine every week” on the seventh line in the second verse. Again, Lil Nas X took advantage of the lyrics to have an open discussion of the burden he feels representing the LGBT community (“A sign of the times every time that I speak”).
Lyrics
The song is made up of two verses, a pre-chorus, chorus, and post-chorus. see the lyrics below.
The video
Tanu Muino and Lil Nas X directed the music video for “Montero (Call Me by Your Name),” which was released alongside the song. Lil Nas X stars as a variety of characters in biblical and mythology-inspired scenes, which were shot over two days in February 2021. Muino who was working on Cardi B’s Up music video at the time she was contacted, expressed her excitement about the offer.
Dante’s Inferno and Hieronymus Bosch’s paintings, such as The Garden of Earthly Delights, a triptych portraying heavenly and hellish imagery, and the Last Judgment, inspired her. It was Muino’s first video as a co-director, and a portion of it was shot remotely through Zoom after she was wrongly diagnosed with COVID-19. Mathematic, a French animation studio based in Paris, created the visual effects for the music video in a seven-week process.
Features in the music video includes Lil Nas X makes out with himself in the Garden of Eden while playing both a snakeskin-wearing Eve and a humanoid serpent. Suddenly, he gets stoned to death at the Coliseum while wearing a Marie Antoinette-like wig and outfit and descends to hell on a stripper pole before performing a graphic lap dance to the devil while wearing only Calvin Klein boxers.
