Juno's ‘Supersonic’ is a Metamorphosis into Experimental Pop

Egyptian indie star Juno is back with ‘Supersonic’, the first single from her upcoming EP ‘The Colour Pulp’, which is set to be released in November 2025.

“It’s an attempt to reclaim my voice in a world that often renders Arab artists invisible or tokenised," Juno tells SceneNoise. It’s me saying ‘I’m here, and I will define the terms of my presence.” Co-produced with Belal Ali and mastered by the legendary Heba Kadry, ‘Supersonic’ takes dream-pop tropes to absurd levels. Juno’s ethereal vocal delivery floats in a maximalist sonic inferno of distorted synth layers and glitchy arrangements, as if it’s haunted by pain. 

The lyrics are contemplative, exploring themes of displacement, grief, rage and fragile hope. The singer-songwriter reflects on what she is currently becoming, her disillusionment with Western society, the hollow space of living in-between, and the bittersweet search for joy through exile. 

In short, ‘Supersonic’ signals a bold left turn for Juno, one that sees her leave behind the acoustic indie-pop haze that first put her on the map, diving headlong into a kaleidoscope of electronic experimentations.
