Reimagining “Toxic” – Dagga and MIREZ’s Dark, Cinematic Take on the Britney Spears Classic

Some songs are so iconic that they seem untouchable—until two artists come along and rewrite their entire story. That’s exactly what Dagga and Paweł Mirowski, aka MIREZ, have done with their haunting new version of Toxic by Britney Spears.

This is not just another cover. It’s a complete reinvention.

A Darker Vision

Stripping away the pop energy of the original, Dagga and MIREZ transform Toxic into a cinematic, almost hypnotic experience—a version that feels like it belongs in a psychological thriller or a noir film. MIREZ’s deep, resonant cello lines set an eerie, suspenseful tone, while Dagga’s voice shifts between delicate vulnerability and raw intensity, pulling listeners into a completely different emotional space.

It’s a story of obsession, danger, and seduction, told in a way that’s more intimate, more intense, and more unsettling than ever before.

A Collaboration Born from Creative Freedom

Dagga, an EDM/pop singer-songwriter, and MIREZ, a renowned cellist and music producer, come from vastly different musical backgrounds. But that’s what makes this collaboration so powerful.

MIREZ, known for blending classical techniques with modern production, brings a haunting orchestral depth to the track, while Dagga’s voice moves through the shadows of the melody, making every lyric feel weightier, almost whispered like a secret.

The result? A version of Toxic that feels entirely new—dark, cinematic, and addictive in its own way.

Why This Version Stands Out

In a world flooded with covers, this one dares to tell a new story. Instead of recreating Britney’s playful, high-energy track, Dagga and MIREZ peel back the layers to expose its darker side—the tension, the danger, the slow pull into something you can’t escape.

This isn’t just a cover. It’s a reinvention, a reimagination, a completely different world.

And once you step inside, there’s no going back.
