Soul de Vienne turns a split-second decision into cinematic soul in "That Was Insane"

Soul de Vienne's new song, "That Was Insane," doesn't sound like a regular song. It sounds more like a moment you know right away, like one of those crazy decisions that shouldn't make sense but does. The song is built around the thin line between restraint and desire, and it has a sense of humor, warmth, and emotional honesty that never goes too far. It knows what it wants to say and trusts the listener to get the rest.

Led by Austrian composer and producer Roman Schleischitz, the international group focuses on a very human moment: when curiosity takes over caution and a stranger starts to feel like a friend. The arrangement has a movie-like quality, but it never feels too big or dramatic. Instead, the music moves with a quiet confidence, allowing the story to evolve from a playful curiosity to a more reckless honesty.

The song's emotional weight comes from Gwen's singing, which is at the center of the song. Her voice goes easily from irony to openness, perfectly capturing the awkward thrill and emotional risk of the meeting without going overboard. The delivery feels personal and open, like a thought that hasn't been filtered or explained yet.

"That Was Insane" sounds like a personal confession, sharp, observant, and surprisingly tender. The song explores the chaotic nature of spontaneous connections, while also highlighting the significance of these moments. Being aware of yourself is funny, looking back is warm, and you can feel that something small has changed beneath the surface. Soul de Vienne shows that you don't need big gestures to tell a powerful story. Sometimes, all you need is a truthful voice, a moment of humanity, and the bravery to follow your curiosity wherever it takes you.
