Juicy is the meeting of two singers and multi-instrumentalists from Brussels,equally comfortable on a beat electro than in a live performance with four hands and two pianos. Portrait of a mutant entity with two (beautiful) (well-made) heads, whose first album, Mobile, has fun mixing genres. Bold and fun.
Juicy is the meeting, on the benches of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, of two singers and multi-instrumentalists: Sasha Vovk and Julie Rens.
First rap and r’n’b cover band, Juicy reveals its true face in 2018 with a first EP Cast A Spellfollowed by a second, the following year: Crumbs.
Smart and funny texts, sung in English. A pop blended with all their influences, from jazz to classical, for a deliciously unclassifiable result.
Also at ease on a cover of Diam’s that in a live with four hands and two pianos, Julie and Sasha ignore codes, fashions and expectations. Between beats electro, flow hip hop and an orchestra of flutes and strings, these two thirty-somethings have fun mixing genres and are not afraid to tackle, in songs, subjects that annoy people like incest (Late Night) or feminicides (Love When It’s Getting Bad ; Truth ; Haunter) and society as the influence of social networks (clovers) or survivalism (Bug-in).
The duo just delivered Mobilehis first album. To celebrate, I went to meet Julie and Sasha in their HQ, a café in the Saint-Géry district, right in the center of Brussels…
A conversation in complete privacy and in 3D audio (spatialized sound).
A podcast to listen to, preferably, with headphones.
