New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Belgian-Caribbean provocateur Charlotte Adigéry and her long-term musical partner Bolis Pupul announce their debut full length album Topical Dancer, due March 4, 2022 via Soulwax's iconic label DEEWEE, and is available for pre-order. Cultural appropriation. Misogyny and racism. Social media vanity. Post-colonialism and political correctness. These are not talking points that you'd ordinarily hear on the dancefloor but Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul are ripping up the rulebook with their debut album Topical Dancer. The Ghent-based duo, who broke out with their 2019 Zandoli EP, are rare storytellers in electronic music: they take the temperature of the time and funnel them into their playful synth concoctions - never didactic and always with a knowing wink.

Charlotte & Bolis have also shared the album's new single "Blenda," a dynamic new track that follows their recent single "Thank You" — a tantric acid-electro stomper characterized by Charlotte's signature deadpan vocal delivery and which The New York Timesnoted is "a deeply sardonic salvo that, in a better world, would annihilate mansplaining once and for all." Listen to "Blenda" and watch the Bob Jeusette-directed video here: https://youtu.be/_ccmFd3wE_8.

"Blenda" references how "I am a product of colonialism," says Charlotte, "and I feel guilty for taking up space in a white country." The song was inspired in part by Reni Eddo-Lodge's book Why I'm No Longer Talking To White People About Race. "It talks about the colonial past and post-colonial present in the UK," Charlotte continues, "but that isn't merely a British or American problem, Belgium is part of that as well." She says that her home country is likewise "oblivious to a big part of its history" which "results in general ignorance and a lack of understanding and empathy towards Belgian inhabitants of immigrant descent."
"'Go back to the country where you belong.' Siri, can you tell me where I belong?"
"I look like them, but not to them. I look like you, but not to you."
"Don't sound like what I look like. Don't look like what I sound like."
