Virginie B returns with Hyperboi, a quirky pop banger
Virginie B tackles the obsessive, dopamine-seeking nature of online relationships on Hyperboi. This new single follows the announcement of her nomination for the Prix Félix-Leclerc de la chanson 2024, which aims to encourage young artists to create music in French and to support the development of Quebec artists. As part of this award nomination, Virginie B will play a free concert at Studio TD during the Francos de Montréal on June 18th. The following day, she will also perform with La Traversée on the festival’s Spotify Stage.
On Hyperboi, Virginie B describes being hooked to a virtual conversation with an AI bot. The constant stimulation generated by this flirty back-and-forth is reflected in the song’s fast pace and infectious bassline, while quirky synthesizers and angular melodies mirror its hyper-digital subject matter. Hyperboi’s synth line was composed and performed on a Casio guitar synthesizer, explains co-producer and multi-instrumentalist Louis Jeay-Beaulieu. This forced us to step out of our comfort zone and get creative with the instrument’s limitations. The result is just as addictive as the new message notifications Virginie B is obsessed with.
Following the release of singles Madone and hana earlier this year, Virginie B earned praise from several media outlets, including Exclaim!, Le Journal de Montréal, ICI Musique, ICI Première, Qobuz Québec and Le Canal Auditif. In addition to her two shows at the Francos de Montréal, Virginie B will perform at Jardins Gamelin on Friday, June 7th. Check out the list below for more details.
