Following the release of a slew of boundary pussing singles last year, Ecca Vandal kicks off 2026 with the genre-mashing ‘BLEACH’.
Reminiscent of early M.I.A., the track has a pulsating trip-hop beat that begs your body to move, before switching gear in the final minute, with Eccal dropping lyrics over a piano line and old school rap beat.
“‘BLEACH’ is the moment you shed the version of yourself moulded by fear. It’s brutal, honest, messy, and necessary — letting the old stuff go to make room for something new,” explains Ecca.
‘BLEACH’ follows last year’s ‘MOLLY’, ‘CRUISING TO SELF SOOTHE’, ‘BLEED BUT NEVER DIE’ and ‘THEN THERE’S ONE’, all of which are taken from Ecca’s forthcoming yet to be titled sophomore album, set for release sometime this year.
As with previous singles, Ecca has shared a visually stunning music video for ‘BLEACH’, directed by Ecca and frequent collaborator Richie Buxton.

After several years away from the spotlight, Ecca Vandal’s return is one many have been looking forward to.
The South African-born, Naarm/Melbourne-based artist is a genre chameleon whose music works just as well in the club as it does chilling at home.
Along with sharing a stack of new singles last year, Ecca supported Limp Bizkit across South America and at Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival and makes her Coachella debut this April. More festival shows follow across Europe before returning home to support Deftones on their Australian and New Zealand tour.
‘BLEACH’ by Ecca Vandal is out now. Listen here.
