Nova Hart—Hologram City Queen | 80s Hard Rock Anthem

This is swagger-first 80s glam hard rock built for neon billboards and chrome catwalks: big palm-muted struts, shimmering synth sheets, and a drum pocket that stomps like a runway show in overdrive. “Hologram City Queen” blends glossy single-note riffs with a chorus that hits like a holographic parade—swagger, shine, and an undercurrent of digital tension.

Nova’s vocal is sharp-edged and theatrical, playful one moment and commanding the next, slicing straight down the center of the mix while the lead guitar climbs in a glitter-soaked solo. If you’re craving 80s Hard Rock with glam attitude and cinematic spectacle, this one sits right at the top.

Lyrics:

A painted sky of metal gray
The mirrored buildings light the day
The faces share the same old smile
It’s all a loop, mile after mile
The towers rise in silver glass
They cheer for her as she walks past
This town is built on pretty lies
But she's a goddess in their eyes

When she walks out on the street
The whole fake world falls at her feet

She’s the hologram city queen
High above the fake machine
Every window screams her name
Every corner feeds her flame

She’s the hologram city queen
Living life upon a screen
If the edges start to tear
She just tosses back her hair

The shiny cars all drive in line
They move so smooth, a perfect sign
The clapping hands behind the glass
They never stop, they always last
She doesn't see the eyes that watch
Or feel the strings that are attached
She only feels the love they send
A roar that never seems to end

When she walks out on the street
The whole fake world falls at her feet

She’s the hologram city queen
High above the fake machine
Every window screams her name
Every corner feeds her flame
She’s the hologram city queen
Living life upon a screen
If the edges start to tear
She just tosses back her hair

When the alley starts to blur
They just redraw it under her

She’s the hologram city queen
High above the fake machine
Every window screams her name
Every corner feeds her flame

She’s the hologram city queen
Living life upon a screen
If the whole world peels away
She just dances through the break

— Archive Note: Orion rendered entire metro grids as emotional backdrops. “Hologram City Queen” is one of the earliest tapes where Nova treated the simulation like a real kingdom—her confidence so strong the handlers worried she’d outrun the script.
