AViVA Unveils New Single ‘Fake Friends’ from Anticipated Album ‘Hopeless Romantic’

Australian powerhouse AViVA is back with a bang, dropping her latest single ‘Fake Friends’ from her eagerly awaited fifth studio album, ‘Hopeless Romantic’. With over 10 billion streams under her belt and a top 10 Billboard hit, AViVA continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her grunge-infused alt-pop sound and raw, angst-ridden vocals.

‘Fake Friends’ delves into themes of control and isolation, embodying AViVA’s signature outsider experience. The track serves as a compelling preview of what’s to come from her forthcoming album, showcasing her fearless approach to storytelling and sonic exploration.

“‘Fake Friends’ is a universal song that, with very little elaboration required, is simply about those people who come into and swiftly (or not so swiftly) exit our lives, leaving behind nothing but a bit of heartache and bad memories. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you don’t have any memories of fake friends in your own life, that can only mean one thing… You are the fake friend.” – AViVA.
