We were first introduced to Girl in the mirror with her conscious collaborative single, Lonely, with Emily McNally, so we were thrilled to hear that the epic producer was releasing AfterLife, a song inspired by Hindu mythology.

This time in collaboration with DJ SKAGE, AfterLife delivers a modern, drum and bass take on the well-known mythological story of Shiva and Parvati.

After the death of his first wife Sati, Shiva retreats from the world and buries himself in meditation. Sati, however, is reborn in the form of Parvati, and tries to seduce the grief-stricken god once again so that the child born of their marriage can end the rampage of a demon.

We love the immersive nature of the record, the celestial details fused with drum and bass and the conscious lyricism. The beat is out-of-this-world, which is very fitting for the theme of the track and we love the bright bells and melodic nuances.

The song has an optimistic message and lyrical highlights include the spiritual, “You chased enlightenment in a mango grove…”, the profound, “our sacred marriage can save this land…” and the iconic, “immortality lies in legends, so after death we can live again…”

The instrumental for the track was designed by DJ SKAGE with Tushar Sharma on guitar, and the vocal topline was completed with the lyrics of Fanni Sütő, and sung by Girl in the mirror. The tree on the song artwork represents the eternal bonding of Parvati and Shiva.

We first fell in love with Girl in the mirror for her song Snowfall in Seoul, so we were super excited to hear that she was collaborating with New York’s Emily McNally on a new single, Lonely.

Lonely opens with elegant keys before we are met with ethereal vocals and a pulsing beat that resonates with every cell of our body. Lyrical highlights include the introspective “I tend to meditate on me, myself and I”, and the celestial “when the stars come out at night, and they’re the only ones there to hold me, I ask the moon when will it end, don’t wanna be so lonely.”

The vocal performance and production is exquisite with beautiful harmonies and soaring and expansive synths. We love the animated lyric video which really brings the narrative and dimension of the track to life.

Lonely is about “how all-consuming the feeling of loneliness can sometimes be”, going deep into the human experience of lonely souls looking for human connection.
