Review of the album “Astral 2000” by Virginie B

A hyperactive and supercool hyperpop, the proof with Hyperboi : with Astral 2000Virginie B offers an album (her second, but the first with Bonsound) with a divinely wild and modern atmosphere. This record is thus an excellent reason for Virginie B to address themes deeply rooted in the third millennium: nature, technology, laziness, pleasure, etc. The female condition as well, as is the case with the titles Astral 2000 And Rodeo & Cameo notably. The unequivocal lyrics of this last song, “Make-up and pecking / To avoid showing one’s age / The social contract buried in the oesophagus”, are very tangible in a phantasmagorical soundscape. In addition, each piece, short and incisive, challenges with its turbulent and frenetic character. Which makes Astral 2000 Particularly interesting is also the artist’s ability to offer a truly unique pop, rich in contrasts and relief, by injecting a bit of nu-jazz, funk and R&B.
