Alternative pop innovator AViVA makes a bold return with her latest single, TOXIC, out March 13, 2026. Serving as the first taste of her forthcoming seventh album, Ghost in the Machine (March 2027), the track plunges into the emotional turbulence of destructive relationships, merging gritty classic rock textures with AViVA’s signature industrial-pop edge. Haunting melodies, razor-sharp lyricism, and raw intensity define the single, offering fans a glimpse into the immersive world AViVA continues to build. Listen here: TOXIC.
“TOXIC is about recognizing the patterns that break you and choosing whether to stay or burn it all down,” says AViVA. “It’s messy, honest, and a little dangerous. I wanted it to feel like standing in the middle of emotional chaos and finally deciding you’re not afraid of it anymore. Releasing one song at a time lets me build this world with my fans instead of just dropping it all at once.”
The single also represents a strategic evolution in AViVA’s career through a partnership with Duetti, a music finance and services platform. This collaboration empowers AViVA to maintain full creative control while expanding her global reach, ensuring the release of Ghost in the Machine will be both artistically and commercially impactful.
Since her breakout 2017 single “GRRRLS,” the Sydney-born, LA-based artist has cultivated a fiercely loyal fanbase. With over 10 billion streams globally and more than 80 million monthly listeners, AViVA has established herself as one of the most compelling independent voices in alternative music, blending music, literature, and visual storytelling to craft a multidimensional universe.
TOXIC sets the stage for a powerful new chapter in AViVA’s narrative universe, promising a body of work that reflects her evolution as both an artist and a visionary.
