Virginia

Glitter, ghosts, and the price of ambition.

5 min

Boys Go To Jupiter’s seventh single, “Virginia”, is not your typical pop song. On a quest to find the perfect closer for their live show, BGTJ struck gold with this genre-bending-folk-disco-ghost-story. Exemplary of the band’s signature storytelling style, Virginia tells a cautionary tale of ambition and fame that has quickly become an undeniable fan favorite. Intricately arranged and brilliantly performed, the track sparkles with swirling seventies strings and haunting vocals. This sweeping, cinematic music video puts Virginia’s story front and center– in all its grotesque, melancholy glory.
