Circle The Earth’s newest release, ‘Stuck In The Middle’, is a relatable track about the fear and confusion that comes from making tough choices
On their newest single, Circle The Earth’s newest member, Aviva Scott, reconfirms that she’s a seriously nuanced singer and a captivating frontwoman. This release is one of September’s music highlights.
Circle The Earth has shared their latest single, ‘Stuck In The Middle,’ as they continue to ride the wave of popularity they’ve experienced since announcing singer-songwriter Aviva Scott as their new frontwoman.
Based in Los Angeles, the five members of Circle The Earth come from all across the globe (as their name hints). The band was forged by a love of music and the idea that their backgrounds would prove decisive in making them unique. The band’s founder, Michael McBay, elaborates on this idea: “Our band consists of people from all different places. We’re trying to show the world what it can be like when various cultures cooperate in service of a positive goal. Musically and personally, we all look out for and take care of each other.”
Positivity is at the heart of what Circle The Earth does, but that doesn’t mean the band doesn’t also incorporate complex, probing themes in their songwriting. Circle The Earth’s scorching brand of rock, pop, and nu-metal features incredibly affecting songwriting.
On their previous single, ‘Numb,’ the band took listeners on a rollercoaster ride as they described how toxicity in a relationship can be its own kind of addiction. Now, on their latest single, ‘Stuck In The Middle,’ the group expands on their versatile talents. Over a slick beat spiked with a loose riff, Aviva holds nothing back as she sings about what it’s like being stuck between several different versions of yourself: “Between me and you and I, I’m stuck in the middle.”
Speaking about the song’s contents, Aviva explains: “That one is about a girl who has a lot of options. Maybe she’s with someone she’s loyal to but isn’t quite cutting it, or maybe she’s struggling with a toxic relationship and wants to get out.”
The song is made real by the power of the band members working in symphony. ‘Stuck In The Middle’ has a truly massive sound – the kind of pummelling rock sound that will have no trouble filling stadiums and venues or vibrating from speakers. This is serious rock’n’roll, helmed by Aviva Scott, who has a powerful pair of lungs from which to deliver the lyrics.
You imagine that what makes Circle The Earth so great is their genuine passion for what they do. These aren’t timid, irony-laden songs – they’re full-throttle and unabashed. Speaking about the music, Michael McBay says: “Our band consists of people from all different places. We’re trying to show the world what it can be like when various cultures cooperate in service of a positive goal. Musically and personally, we all look out for and take care of each other.”
