AViVA-GRRRLS by AViVA

Living between Sydney and LA, Australian artist AViVA is creating her new image and developing the world for her new single GRRRLS on 13th October 2017. This is the first single to introduce us to her conceptual approach to music.
Australian independent recording artist AViVA is marking her re-entry into the scene with new single GRRRLS arriving on Friday the 13th of October 2017. This release marks AViVA’s first release in 2 years and is a clean break away from the sound and image she had previously been creating. Within this musical shift some elements have remained the same- her distinctive vocals and the visceral and dynamic drums. This single produced by MataisC and Jean-Paul Fung (Silverchair, Last Dinosaurs) and mastered by Matt Colton (Muse, Coldplay). GRRRLS is a nod to Riot Grrrls everywhere.
Following the release of Crystaleyes in 2015, AViVA spent the next 24 months performing around Australia’s East Coast and playing at summer festivals until she retreated to write new music. This time, spent between LA and Australia, Aviva experimented with new sounds and styles drawing inspiration from all forms of art to create the new unique sound and imagery, seen with the release of GRRRLS.
This new single develops in a deeper way AViVA’s thematic interest in the dichotomy of control and although full of attitude, GRRRLS is actually a reflection on the journey to find your place in

the world. Her fearless approach to lyric writing and fusion of hip-hop, pop and rock elements makes AViVA’s new sound a catchy and unique sonic pleasure.
AViVA wanted to create music that would connect with her audience in the same way she has always found music based on its ability to connect and feel. “So long as people find a connection, I will keep being cryptic. Sometimes not having all the facts helps people to find more meaning.” Says AViVA, herself no stranger to the feelings of exclusion and disillusionment.
GRRRLS stands as an invitation to join in the deeper concept she is building. This song creates a bridge to the world inside AViVA’s mind, transporting us into the dystopian city of Metropolis, a place which provided the strength and experience she needed to stop trying to fit in and try something radical to be herself. GRRRLS is an anthem for girls, boys, men and women everywhere and serves as a reminder to stand proud of who you are, forget what others think and fight for the right to be you.
