Andrea Pizzo and The Purple Miceโs โHidden Figuresโ is a shimmering, heartfelt tribute wrapped in a dreamlike sonic embrace. With influences from Kate Bush, M83, and Queen, the track takes you on an ethereal journey, celebrating the brilliance of Katherine Johnson and John Glenn while crafting a lush, cinematic soundscape that feels both nostalgic and futuristic.
Opening with pulsating beats that seem to echo through space itself, the song immediately sets a hypnotic tone. Then, indie singer-songwriter Irene Buselli steps in with her delicate, airy vocalsโsoft yet commanding, like a voice calling from the stars. As the track unfolds, a second, deeper female voice joins in, adding layers of warmth and contrast, creating a sense of unity and collaboration, just like the story the song honors. Itโs as if the voices are working together in harmony, mirroring the teamwork and brilliance of the figures they pay tribute to.
Thereโs a dreamlike quality to the melodies, a kind of weightlessness that makes you feel like youโre floating through time, watching history unfold. But beneath the vibrant synths and swelling instrumentals, thereโs an undeniable sincerityโa quiet reverence for the forgotten pioneers who shaped our world. The falsetto moments stretch skyward, pulling you in, refusing to let go.
As part of their upcoming album Transhumanity, this track fits perfectly into the bandโs exploration of scientific history and technological evolution. But โHidden Figuresโ isnโt just a history lessonโitโs an experience.
