This is what we call a return to the roots. After a major electronic breakthrough and the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the band’s founding, Superbus are back in the style of their beginnings. Pop with boundless energy and rock vitality. Mixed by Irishman Ross Fortune (Ed Sheeran, Clean Bandit, ASAP Rocky…), Baby Boom exudes a delicious homemade perfume and an unstoppable melodic immediacy.

A second single from an as yet undetermined album, co-composed by Jennifer Ayache and Patrice Focone, it’s a mix of shimmering 90s synthesizer and colourful 80s reminiscences. Behind the lightness of the packaging, a conscious, alert text with a double trigger. Echoing the disaster of today’s multiple wars. We don’t see ourselves as an activist band, but the state of the world compels us to write songs. Seeing these images of children in the middle of bombs, it’s unbearable and it really marked me. I’m getting a bit older and I’m starting to talk about things that affect me as a citizen “, confides singer Jennifer Ayache, who wrote the lyrics as usual.

This is not the first time that Superbus has tackled serious or societal issues. Strong and Beautiful and Run were written in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo and November 13 attacks respectively. More recently, as a precursor to this seventh album, the quintet unveiled Aseptisé. A song in which guitars rub up against funk, a mirror-criticism of a society tending towards both the filtered and the smooth, and whose surprising video clip was made with the help of artificial intelligence.

With Superbus, we dance without bending our backs! The ultimate courtesy.
