“Maybe it wouldn’t even be one that I sing, but I love catchy, anthemic pop songs, and I want to learn how to write one.”Ĭollaborations bring a fresh perspective to Rodrigo’s songwriting. “I love pop pop music, like down the middle, absolute bubblegum pop music… I would love to write a big pop song,” Rodrigo said about what she’d like to explore in the future. This was “out of comfort zone,” she admitted, but it was a chance to try new sounds and see where her powerful voice could take her. Its bright synths and melodies were challenging to perfect, because they’re so different from the sad breakup ballads she’s known for. Everybody does it, but after a long time you realize little experiences can be translated into art… I’m learning how to observe the world through a songwriter’s lens.” Getting your driver’s license, it’s very menial. “That’s sometimes a blessing and a curse, but in my songwriting, I feel like it definitely helps… paying attention to little things and being like, oh, maybe that could be a song. “Every little feeling for me is always very heightened,” Rodrigo said about finding magic in the mundane. ( That was our place / I found it first / I made the jokes you tell to her is Rodrigo’s favorite line.) The more specific the lyrics, the more the track resonates, because the details bring the emotion to life. “Deja vu” engages many of these senses you taste ice cream melting under Malibu sun, hear Billy’s piano notes, and feel the intimacy behind a couple’s inside jokes.
