We are honestly impressed with Ava Valianti. ‘Wishing Well’ – her latest effort – is incredibly evocative and vibrant, showcasing a level of artistic maturity that’s highly unusual for such a young songstress. Built over elegant, evocative mainstream stylings, ‘Wishing Well’ is a wonderful slice of pop prowess laced with poignant lyricism and cathartic sonic material. The result is an expansive, intimate record wrapping the listeners into Valianti’s personal experience – one that will likely be familiar to many teenagers out there.
Describing the pains and the constant change involved with growing up, ‘Wishing Well’ reveals itself as the ultimate coming-of-age anthem, a relatable gem shining a light on the change from childhood to early adulthood. As Valianti explains: “The song captures the pain of losing pieces of childhood that once felt like magic, while still holding onto hope and wonder, even when the world feels a little less magical. Writing this song helped me make peace with the parts of myself I’ve had to let go, while keeping a piece of that hopeful, younger me alive.”
Following up from ‘January’, ‘Wishing Well’ adds another compelling chapter to Valianti’s artistic journey. Given the amount of talent and such perfect vocals, it’s easy to see Ava growing into a nationwide phenomenon pretty soon. We’ll be here supporting her.
