VIRGINIE B

Virginie B 1

VIRGINIE B

Virginie B’s enchanting eccentricity is matched only by her overflowing creativity. The singer-songwriter, composer, director, and multi-instrumentalist offers a unique reinterpretation of hyperpop codes by incorporating elements of nu-jazz, funk, and R&B, all complemented by a refined conceptual approach rooted in pop art and tinged with a pronounced taste for maximalism and glamour. Accompanied by her talented collaborator and co-director Louis Jeay-Beaulieu, she applies this blend of styles—both distinctive and versatile—to explore her psyche, femininity, and her relationship with technology and nature. The result is an outlet where she expresses both her desires and her excesses with complete vulnerability, never taking herself too seriously, while reflecting a commanding confidence.

INSULA, Virginie B’s debut album, was independently released in 2022 and quickly caught the attention of critics, earning praise from ICI Première, Le Devoir, La Presse, Montreal Rocks!, and PAN M 360. This recognition culminated in a nomination for Album of the Year in the pop category at the GAMIQ 2022. In September 2024, Virginie B released Astral 2000, her second album, which combines catchy melodies, stylistic experimentation, and intricate textures with poetry that is both introspective, deep, and accessible.
