Montreal-based indie producer, songwriter, and artist MIVA is ushering in the next wave of her creativity with her new single, "Breathe In." The song serves as a powerful snapshot of her forthcoming EP, "For The Record," which is due out December 1, and marks a period of change and rebirth for the artist.
Drawing influences from hip-hop and rap, "Breathe In" is a subtle departure from genre and features traces of MIVA's multifaceted musical heritage, with hints of soft guitar strums and a steady beat, proving to be the perfect recipe for a strong, chilled single. A natural outgrowth of its metal, alternative, jazz, and breakbeat influences, the song sounds like a reflection of a lifetime spent journeying through sound. It is layered, textured, and intentional, and every beat and every lyric reverberates with a feeling of raw authenticity.
MIVA doesn't mince words, writing about issues such as sobriety, self-evolution, and the complex landscape of navigating the music business. There's an unsweetened quality to her delivery, a reminder that growth is as much about openness as it is about strength. It transforms into a mantra for you, as they can be heard to follow the call to pause, reflect, and embrace the trials and rewards of personal transformation.
With this release, MIVA sounds like a storyteller, a builder of moods, an architect of moods, and a producer who knows there's beauty to be discovered in complexity. "Breathe In" is a mission statement, heralding an EP that's set to be equal parts deeply personal and bold musically. MIVA is saving hip-hop, one verse at a time, and with "For The Record" edging closer, this is just the beginning.
