Female-fronted, multicultural band Circle The Earth, who stretch the boundaries of rock with funk swagger, jazz fluidity, and pop universality, has officially introduced their new era and iteration with the release of their new single “Numb.” The pop rock track – written by Adrian Jones and produced by Erik Ron (Staind, Godsmack, Bush) – showcases new front woman Aviva Scott processing the rollercoaster of a toxic relationship set against ripping electric guitar and clashing cymbals. The palpable momentum culminates on a disarmingly chantable chorus: “When I’m numb, I feel everything.” PRESS HERE to listen to “Numb” and PRESS HERE to watch the official music video, directed by Henry Lipatov (Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson, Eminem, Fall Out Boy).

“‘Numb’ is a revelation that it is impossible to cover your emotions with temporary comforts like drugs and alcohol,” shares Scott. “It is essential to confront difficult emotions with a sober mind in order to genuinely heal and grow.”

Channeling the boundary-breaking energy that only music can bring to the world, Circle The Earth quite literally represents three continents and four countries. Founded in 2018 by bassist Michael McBay, the Los Angeles-based quintet notably features Japanese guitarist Kazuki Tokaji, Brazilian drummer Sandro Feliciano, Taiwanese keyboardist Sandy Chao Wang, and vocal dynamo and native Angeleno Aviva Scott.

By subverting any and all expectations, Circle The Earth crash landed as a phenomenon with their debut in 2020. The group gained traction with the singles “Dead,” “Diamonds,” and “Sweetest Pain,” paving the way for their 2023 EP Hey Goodbye, mostly produced by Ethan Kaufman (Avril Lavigne, Ryan Cabrera, DOROTHY). Beyond piling up millions of streams, they have garnered acclaim from Music Connection, mxdwn, BET, The Rockpit, New Noise Magazine, and more. In 2024, Circle The Earth released the single “Maniac On Mute” and formally welcomed Aviva onto the mic at the suggestion of legendary songwriter Diane Warren.

“Having Aviva as our new lead singer has elevated the band to a whole new level of excellence, excitement, and energy,” says McBay. “All of us are fired up for our next round of releases and concerts!”

For those in Southern California, Circle The Earth has a lot of opportunities coming up to experience their live show, which is where the five-piece shines the brightest. The group has emerged as the rare force of nature equally comfortable on a bill alongside Oingo Boingo, Drake Bell, or Smokey Robinson. Their dynamic performances are highlighted by Sandro’s vigorous drumming, Kazuki’s guitar virtuosity, Michael’s onstage bass energy, and Sandy’s melodic and powerful keys, which lay the foundation for Aviva’s emotional vocal delivery and captivating stage presence. See below for full list of upcoming tour dates.

Ultimately, Circle The Earth aims to create beautiful and powerful rock music with integrity and an underlying positive message. The group’s cultural diversity is a true message of inclusion, showing the world how those from different places can come together for the greater good and a rockin’ good time.
