Looking for an indie-pop banger that hits hard with driving drums and retro-tinged vocals?
Check out “JC Superstar” by Vivienne Blue — a track that blends traces of Americana with dream-pop and alt-pop accessibility.
Produced by Preston Cochran (boygenius, Lucy Dacus, Suki Waterhouse, Ashe), “JC Superstar” is an anthem about chasing what you think you want and the inevitable crash that follows short-sighted love.
Inspired by Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek’s quote, Vivienne explains the meaning behind the track: "We have a perfect name for fantasy realized. It's called nightmare," Blue recounts a failed relationship with someone she put on a pedestal, with the refrain “you can't be my fantasy” serving as both a resounding relief and a bittersweet farewell to the idealized version of the person she imagined.
The track is beautifully whimsical and lyrically bold, never sugar-coating Vivienne’s sentiments. “JC Superstar” is structurally strong and leaves listeners eager to hear more from the artist.
