Virginie B unveils the title track of new album Astral 2000 two days before its release

Two days before the release of Astral 2000, her second album due out this Friday, September 20th, Virginie B unveils its title track as a final preview, accompanied by a music video directed by Rosalie Bordeleau. To celebrate this new record, launch shows will be held in Montreal on September 26th, and in Rimouski and Quebec City on October 11th and 12th respectively.

As the opener and title track of Virginie B’s sophomore album, Astral 2000 encapsulates its themes and musical direction with gripping intensity. Set during an escapist karaoke night out, this hyperpop song’s high BPM, thumping kicks and creative sound design keep us on the edge of our seats while its lyrics evoke an endless cycle of partying, pressure to perform and search for authenticity through the perception of others. Virginie’s cute, melodic vocal delivery offers a sharp contrast to the music’s urgency, enhancing its addictive nature and that of the lifestyle it describes.

Directed by Rosalie Bordeleau, Astral 2000's video is a nod to the spellbinding style of Wong Kar Wai and the poetic universe of Sofia Coppola, combining these two influences to evoke a dizzying solitude. Between an intimate karaoke session with friends, a motorcycle race through an endless tunnel and a disorienting nocturnal wander through the city, Virginie B finds herself both isolated and connected to the world around her.

Following the album's release, Virginie B will present launch shows at Le Belmont in Montreal (as part of POP Montreal) on September 26th, Bains Publics in Rimouski on October 11th and Le Pantoum in Quebec City on October 12th. She will then head off to France for a series of dates. See the list below for more details.
