Represented by Decent Music PR, and supported by an Ohio Arts Council Grant Award | Artists with Disabilities Access Program, VIAA’s “Arson” is a fiery declaration of independence, a song that smolders with emotional intensity while straddling genres effortlessly.
From the first distorted guitar riff to the shimmering, cathartic chorus, the track immediately stakes its claim as a new alt-pop anthem. It’s a song that doesn’t just invite listeners in — it pulls them into a blaze of vulnerability, rage, and empowerment.
The production is a masterclass in balance. Co-produced by Mori Einsidler and Troi Irons, the track blends pop-punk grit with electronic sheen, allowing VIAA’s vocals to cut through with razor-sharp clarity. Bartees Strange’s mix emphasizes the tension and release in each section, while Mike Tucci’s mastering ensures the song feels expansive without ever losing intimacy.
Lyrically, “Arson” is unflinching. VIAA transforms personal pain into universal resonance, singing about burning down relationships, past selves, and expectations that no longer serve her. It’s a song that feels simultaneously private and communal — like a diary entry everyone wants to sing along to.
Ultimately, “Arson” signals a bold new chapter in VIAA’s career. It’s a song that captures the messy, exhilarating, and unapologetic process of reinvention. With this single, VIAA isn’t just stepping into the spotlight — she’s setting it on fire.
