Exploring ‘Virtual Love’ with ViennaCC

Chart-Topping Success

ViennaCC’s Latest Hit

With his latest single, ‘Virtual Love,’ currently dominating airwaves globally, we had the chance to sit down with ViennaCC to delve into the inspiration behind this captivating track.

The Resonance of Sound

Global Appeal

Your music plays on radio stations around the world. Why do you think your sound resonates so widely?
I might be making music that people – and maybe even radio DJs – like. Who knows? If I had the perfect formula, I’d be a billionaire by now.

Positivity in Music

Uplifting Energy

What inspires the consistently upbeat energy in your work? Would you describe yourself as a positive person?
I see myself as a positive person. Most of my songs carry an upbeat mindset. There’s already enough negativity in the news. Even though ‘Virtual Love’ ends in sadness, maybe it makes people think – and eventually smile. And if someone listening has been fooled by a love scammer, I hope I can offer them a little comfort.

Personal Touch

Experience with ‘Virtual Love’

Do you have personal experience with ‘Virtual Love’? What initially inspired this exploration of love in the digital age?
I sometimes get messages from young girls saying they’ve fallen in love with my photo. Their messages are surprisingly well-written – or let’s say, professional. But after just a few exchanges, they start asking for money. I’ve seen reports on this kind of scam, and I know it’s not just happening to me. Needless to say, I never reply to those oh-so-tempting messages.

Creative Process

Crafting the Song

What was your favorite part of crafting the song? What is your favorite sonic or lyrical element of the track?
Honestly, I enjoy the whole song. But if I had to choose, maybe the two choruses stand out the most. The first one is filled with hope, and by the last chorus, the truth comes out – I’ve fallen into a fake social media account.

Visual Interpretation

Imagery in ‘Virtual Love’

Tell us about drawing inspiration from the line “Virtual love in my computer” for the concept of the ‘Virtual Love’ music video. What kind of imagery did this line evoke?
When the song was finished, I thought: “Nice – but how do I visually express a virtual, non-existent concept?” A computer-generated puppet as my lovely dream lady? The idea came from the line: “Virtual love in my computer.” So I placed my dream lady inside a computer, surrounded by circuits. Abstract, but intriguing.

Cautionary Tale

Message Behind the Music

Do you think people should take ‘Virtual Love’ as a cautionary tale?
Yes, if I can help someone avoid falling into a trap and losing money, I’d feel like I did something worthwhile. I don’t want to sound like a school principal wagging a finger and warning people about the evils out there. These things happen – and I sing about them. If it gets someone thinking, all the better.

Listener Experience

Hopes for the Track

What do you hope ‘Virtual Love’ brings to your listeners?
I want people to have fun. Entertainment should come first. But if someone hears the message in my song and it sparks a thought, that makes me happy. And if it helps someone avoid being tricked, even better.

Technological Themes

Part of a Larger Narrative

Is ‘Virtual Love’ part of a larger narrative that you’re building? What inspires you to explore technological themes in your work?
Being active online is a big part of my life – so why not sing about it? I worked in IT for a long time, so I’ve never been uncomfortable around computers. And they’re becoming more and more integrated into our lives. Elvis sang about ‘Love Letters’ – today, I’d sing about ‘Emails.’
