AViVA Drops Electrifying New Single ‘Sinister’, Out August 1st

Following the success of her previous releases, AViVA returns with ‘Sinister’, the second radio single from her anticipated new album, due this fall. After commanding stages at Rock am Ring, Graspop Metal Meeting, and a packed European headline tour, she now sets her sights on the UK with upcoming performances at Reading and Leeds Festival, further solidifying her rise as one of alt-pop rock’s most electrifying forces.
Through this new creative chapter, AViVA builds her own immersive cyberpunk-inspired universe, both sonically and visually. Her work explores the duality of identity in the digital age, examining the tension between the curated self we project online and the raw, unfiltered version that exists offline. These themes pulse through every track, including ‘Sinister’, offering listeners a mirror to question how we define and defend our sense of self in a hyperconnected world.
AViVA explains: "Sinister is my favourite song on the album. It’s about the walls we put up to protect ourselves from the dark people that drift into our lives. But so often when we do, we shut ourselves down - it can be hard to soften our heart again".
Live:
22nd August - Leeds Festival
24th August - Reading Festival
