Norwegian singer-songwriter MIIA is launching a new chapter of her career. The hugely talented artist has just released a new single called “Oxide”. It is the first step towards her debut EP.

“Oxide” is a heart-gripping indie-pop ballad.

MIIA sheds some light, saying: “I wrote ‘Oxide’ in the winter, up in the mountains of Norway; my favorite place on earth. Where I feel most at home. At that point, after a year of therapy and hibernation, I was at a very peaceful point in my healing process. I was finally able to write about something that had weighed on me for a long time. I love my father, more than I think he or anyone else will ever understand. But, relationships are complex. This song is the voice of my inner child. She used to have no voice at all. I had to write this song for her. Though I have said these words before, time and time again, the hurt never truly went away. So I had to write them down. My biggest hope (because there is hope!) is that hurt can, through honesty, become healing.“

The singer had her breakthrough in 2016 with the song “Dynasty”. She then took some break to figure out life and other interests. Now, she’s ready to embark on music fully. Find her on Instagram.
