Montreal-based independent artist, producer, and songwriter MIVA has captivated us with her new single, "Breathe In." The candidly intense track is from her forthcoming EP, For The Record. MIVA doesn't put out a song; she creates an atmosphere in which the dichotomy of vulnerability versus power, heaviness versus clarity, honesty versus performance finds an equilibrium.
"Breathe In" opens with an entrancing production that adequately reflects the influence of MIVA's cross-cultural and diverse upbringing. The influences of metal, alternative, hip-hop, jazz, and breaks resonate through the track, creating a rich symphonic interface that seems both unpolished and perfected. But beneath the creation, there's a story of sobriety, self-improvement, and artistic progression. It's a song that exhales at the truth, staring the challenges that life throws at it right in the eye, and letting you know in no uncertain terms: the chance for renewal is always there.
"Breathe In" is truly unique in that MIVA can combine thick and heavy sound with the complexity of the lyrics. Her words don't just occupy space, but they mean something, addressing people in the midst of today's unrelentingly fast society and music-biz standards that can seem ready to eat you alive. The result is a work of art that is deeply personal while being universal, a tribute to anyone who has grappled with transformation and emerged in a stronger place.
With "Breathe In," MIVA shows that she is not just an artist, but an architect of sound and feeling. She welcomes us into her world, a place where determination and beats converge, where every in-and-out breath feels like an act of creation. "This is not just a hook, this is music with a purpose, for people who need more than just a hook, more than just an earworm, more than just another reason to take a hit and get lifted," as the group explained.
