We meet Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul in a local record store in Ghent, where they just spent two hours signing their new album. The interest in their first long-player is huge. Not only is the press going wild for the duo, but a lot of fans didn’t want to miss out on the chance to get an autograph for their vinyl. A little later in the evening, Charlotte and Bolis moved on to their favorite bar, where they also performed a few songs of Topical Dancer live.
The medium is the message
With a length of over fifty minutes, Topical Dancer is not just an average electro-pop album but is an album that will be described as a defining moment in Belgian music history in a couple of decades. While the music sonically draws you to the closest dance floor, they use their lyrics to criticize racism or xenophobia. Songs like “Blenda” or “Esperanto” don’t miss their purpose with their in-your-face verses and underline their creativity as a duo.
