Multidisciplinary artist and producer MIVA is back with a striking new single, “Breathe In”, a genre-bending track that embodies her fearless approach to sound. Built on a foundation of hard-hitting drums, fluid jazz textures, and rhythmic breakbeats, the song positions MIVA as one of the most innovative voices carving her own lane in the alternative hip-hop landscape. With a delivery that is as sharp as it is unpredictable, “Breathe In” feels less like a single and more like an electrifying manifesto: wake up, tune in, and breathe deep.
From the opening bars, “Breathe In” announces itself with authority. The percussion immediately sets the tone—driving, relentless, and commanding. It recalls the energy of classic breakbeats but filters them through a modern, high-fidelity lens. Each kick and snare lands with intent, demanding the listener’s attention and pulling them deeper into the track.
The hybrid of styles is no accident. MIVA, who has built a reputation for crossing disciplines—whether in production, performance, or visual expression—uses “Breathe In” to showcase the breadth of her artistry. This is not just a beat with verses layered on top; it’s a carefully constructed tapestry where each element pushes against the next, creating friction and momentum in equal measure.
MIVA is an independent producer, songwriter and artist based in Montreal. Her single “Breathe In” is part of the For The Record EP coming up December 1 , touching subjects like artistic evolution, subjects of sobriety while being on a creative journey, as well as self-evolution and personal growth while navigating life in today’s society and the music industry standards.
The record musically is heavily inspired by her childhood, rising taste in musical genres like metal, alternative, hip-hop, jazz and breaks. We’re hoping to give MIVA more visibility media-wise to showcase her ability to build a universe musically speaking from A to Z, as well as reach new ears of listeners that are longing for constructive lyrics and food for thought, and people who appreciate heavy and elaborate production.
