Virgi Energy is the personal project of Virginia Borràs, guitarist of Alidé Sans and bassist of Ratpenades, who breaks onto the scene with an audiovisual debut loaded with social criticism.
With her first single, “Jardí del Soma” (Soma’s garden), the artist plunges us into a dystopian universe that feels unsettlingly close to our current reality, aiming to bring structures and mechanisms of mass control into focus.
The lyrics —direct and sarcastic— portray a story in which a creative power decides what its “children” must feel, want, and think: a society permanently entertained and superficially happy. “Jardí del Soma” thus becomes a metaphor for manufactured well-being, for consumption as a form of happiness, and for the danger of a world that confuses freedom with comfort.
The artist shows how these mechanisms work through the perspective of the main character, played by herself in the video, who shifts from feigned kindness and generosity to gradually revealing her true nature: a thirst for power over others.
Musically, she fuses the sound and strength of rock with elements of post-punk, grunge, and psychedelia. To achieve this, she plays with sound and noise, harmony and dissonance, fragility and ferocity, revealing a balance between light and darkness —a duality that life itself invites us to confront and that the artist reflects upon.
The music video features a magnetic, highly symbolic imagery: artificial atmospheres, constant surveillance, pleasures turned into currency, and mass-produced identities. A strangely perfect “paradise,” built so that no one thinks too much.
Virgi Energy thus invites us to reflect on the apparent comfort we often accept without question and denounces a system that manipulates in order to create obedient, distracted, and easily managed individuals.
