BŠĀR’s VENUS : Nostalgia, Desire and the Glow of the Dance Floor

BŠĀR, the moniker of singer‑songwriter Benjamin Royston, a UK‑based artist unafraid to blur the boundaries of genre, blending retro pop textures with modern production flair. His latest single VENUS officially launched on July 18, 2025 with an irresistible groove and hook that doesn’t just nod to nostalgia, but reinvents it.

The beginning of the track paints an image : of long high heels stepping into a club scene. Neon pink and turquoise strobes flashing across the room, casting everything in that hazy, late‑night glow. The hook hits and instantly makes you want to throw your hands in the air.

I imagine VENUS herself is there, in a 2000s mini bandage dress. Eyeing you from across the room, but you never quite catch her. The song drips with a kind of longing that’s brutally self-aware yet so physical that it’s almost addictive.

The repetition of “don’t let me go” throughout the song feels like someone is tearing their chest open raw in the middle of the dance floor another lyric, “I miss your body, I miss your spell” has this clash of confession and desperation that stings.

What’s striking about the track is how it feels familiar yet completely fresh. There’s also pulse running through the track that recalls the golden age of glitter‑soaked pop and sweaty club anthems. Yet it sidesteps feeling dated or derivative.

It’s as if BŠĀR bottled up that rush you get when a song takes over the room, the kind that makes strangers grin at each other, that loosens shoulders and makes hearts race, and poured it straight into the production. The synths shimmer, the bassline thumps with precision, and somewhere between the beats there’s a sense of something larger.
