Song Review/ Indie Pop : Ava Valianti’s ‘Distant’
Ava Valianti is a singer-songwriter and an alt pop artist with a mellow horizon. She is a storyteller, a feeler, who weaves it all in with an honesty and thoughtfulness that will have you coming back. In her latest release, ‘Distant’, she traces the feelings of a young girl whose boyfriend seems to have pulled away. She wraps the experience in immersive themes like vulnerability, nostalgia, fondness, and heartache.
She remembers the moments spent falling in love alongside these feelings, creating a sphere of experience that we all went through at 15 years and sometimes even in young adulthood. There is a universality to it, but also a distinct personality. With acoustic pop lifting into indie pop choruses, synth melodies and colorful mists, the song is so well made and sophisticatedly performed. If you enjoy Phoebe Bridgers, BØRNS, and Daughter, you’re sure to love the stylistic blend of Ava Valianti. Listen Now!
