After a world tour with Charlotte Adigéry—his collaborator at the label Deewee founded by Belgian duo Soulwax, with whom he released the successful album Topical Dancer in 2022—Bolis Pupul has set off to explore his Chinese roots with an album in homage to his mother who passed in 2008. Heading to Hong Kong to connect with his mother’s birthplace, he underwent a creative whirlwind that inspired the seminal Letter to Yu, composed in part from thoughts gathered from his phone amidst the Ma Tau Wai Road traffic.
The letter becomes the cornerstone of a kind of synthpop 2.0 album which delves into every corner of Hong Kong including its music, with strong Asian influences coming through in Bolis Pupul's choice of sounds, all of which are enrobed in the clinical and assertive production of Soulwax’s brothers Dewaele from their home studio in Ghent. We move from the highly addictive single "Completely Half," which features recordings from the Hong Kong metro, to the electronic haunted mansion that is "Spicy Crab," to the deranged techno of "Doctor Says," to the dancefloor hit "Frogs." But beyond the genres, it's the sheer energy that Bolis Pupul injects into this debut album that really grabs us. © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
