Model/Actriz – Diva

Model/Actriz aren’t the type to overthink it — at least not this time. “Diva,” the latest leak from their upcoming album Pirouette, was born in the recording booth, somewhere between the mic and a glass of wine.

The production scrapes and prowls, all clattering beats and industrial edges, before breaking into something uncomfortably danceable — the sonic equivalent of smiling through a gut punch. Lyrically, “Diva” is all about those fleeting nights on tour, where a few hours of fun slip into a quiet panic about the morning after. Cole Haden’s delivery slips between humour, detachment, and a bitter kind of tenderness, nailing the moment when you realise endings are built into beginnings.

The off-the-cuff structure fits the theme perfectly: nothing about “Diva” is polished or settled. It embraces the mess — the bad decisions, the quick connections, and the inevitable mourning that comes when the music cuts out. It’s a hymn for those who know that being “that bitch” sometimes just means getting through the night a little louder than the sadness.

Pirouette lands May 2, but “Diva” is already doing the job of reminding us: the most powerful moves are often the ones made mid-fall.
