Bridgit Mendler gets in a little girl time with Naomi Scott in her brand-new video for her new track, "Hurricane," the second single from the former's debut album, "Hello My Name Is..." as she explained about the record. "It's kind of funky, jazzy, pop music with a little bit of R&B. Each song is pretty unique and has its own style and inspiration, so hopefully people will enjoy the diversity!" The 20-year-old actress/singer is poised to make the difficult transition from child star to bona fide pop singer.
The midtempo pop song, "Hurricane" exhibits elements of reggae fusion and R&B. Built on a beat, multi-tracked harmonies, the song's instrumentation includes slow-bouncing keyboard tones, and drums. Mendler's heavily rapping skills have been compared to Cher Lloyd, Lily Allen and Karmin. She tries to spit a few bars and throws her hand at rapping in this cool, laid-back track with some reggae influence, but is fast paced at times. The single is quite catchy and shows off the infectious and witty aspects of Mendler's skills. "Hurricane," which allows for many sing-along moments, uses the storm as a metaphor for her feelings towards a love interest.
Lyrically, the song gives ode to disaster love, reconciliation and perseverance in love. In interview for Coup de Main Magazine, Mendler commented about recording a rap song for the first time. She said: "I loved recording the rap in 'Hurricane.' That was pretty fun. It was very experimental for me, I haven't done much rapping before. It was not a deliberate decision... we had written the song and I had come in to record it and then the guys were like: "Why don't we just try rapping this part?" So I did and then it kind of just worked and we decided to keep it. So not intentional, but sometimes things just happen in the moment."
Mendler really shows off her vocal chops with a powerful and talented voice in the song, "I'm boarding up the windows, locking up my heart," but in the song's video, despite what teasers indicated, she refuses to wallow for long, follows the Disney star through a day and her BFF takes her out post-split to get her mind off her stormy union in London from waking up to a crazy evening dance party with her friends. As "Lemonade Mouth" star against a white background dancing it up with a New York City T-shirt and then takes a whirlwind tour of London, which starts at a museum and ends on the dance floor - not a bad way to cope up with a breakup, and it's up to her girlfriends to get her out of the storm's path for good.
