There’s a very specific kind of nostalgia that only works if you commit to it completely, and Virtual Love 2001 commits hard. LÖVI leans all the way into early-2000s trance-pop signifiers, the supersaw stabs and the slightly cheesy vocal hook, and somehow it reads as sincere rather than ironic. That sincerity is the reason it works on me. The melody at the chorus is the kind of thing that would have been a Eurodance radio smash twenty years ago, and hearing it now feels like finding a mixtape you forgot you made. NCS catches a lot of flak for being playlist filler, but every so often something genuinely charming slips through their pipeline and this is one of those. The production is cleaner than the era it’s referencing ever managed, which is sort of the point of a throwback done right. It won’t change your life and it isn’t trying to. Some songs just want to make you grin on a Tuesday afternoon, and this one earns the grin honestly.
