RATING; 3.9/5
BerkhouseSnyder’s “Out of Space Girl” is a fun exploration of retro-futuristic themes, combining 80s-style electro-pop with the dramatic flair typical of a traditional space adventure. The song, which was released on 17 August 2026, immediately adopts a grand and dramatic style, employing a “sing songy” vocal technique that gives it the feel of a space opera or an anthem. The male and female voices function as a conversational duet, and Katie Janes contributes a supportive presence that enhances the song’s theatrical character without detracting from its main idea.
The song makes use of electronic textures, structured synthesizers, a strong bass line, and clear rhythmic patterns in order to achieve a clear retro feel. Instead of trying to mimic the sound of a specific era, “Out of Space Girl” bases its style on 80s influences in a more playful and experimental way. There is a sense of movement in the arrangement which matches well with the science-fiction theme, and the vocal melodies give the track a catchy character that makes it easy to follow. This on purpose unconventional method imparts a personality to the song that sets it apart from the more conventional aspects of electronic pop.
The official video takes this idea even further by animating comic book-style beings, creatures, and spaceships which B Allen Snyder originally drew when he was a young person, thus turning his personal artwork into an animated science-fiction world. Charles Berkhouse, B Allen Snyder, and Katie Janes are also shown in animated form, adding a fun link to the people who made the song. The blend of retro sound and hand-drawn science-fiction images gives the song ‘Out of Space Girl’ a clear visual identity that matches its theatrical style.
The song was recorded in a home studio in Harrisburg and has the atmosphere of a creative experiment rather than being designed with the aim of strictly belonging to one genre. “Out of Space Girl” is based on imagination, has a retro charm, features theatrical vocals, and is prepared to tackle unusual concepts. Combining the duet format with the animated comic-book world makes the song and the video seem like two parts of the same story. People who like electronic pop with a strong science-fiction flavour will find this a thoughtful and original release.
