Ava Valianti - Buttercups [Music Review]

July 11, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Folk
“Ava Valianti is a talent that shines on any stage or demographic, but I’d be remiss if I did not mentiont he fact this rising star is but fifteen years old and already establishing herself as a musical force. I’ll turn of my voice to hers as she talks about this track ...

”‘Buttercups’ is a song that encapsulates the experience of love, loss, and searching for purpose. It’s a song that’s centered around memories that are hard to let go of - the cinnamon smell, the creaky doors, the buttercups - and how even when things are complicated, those memories remind me why I cared in the first place. This is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever created, I truly had so much fun making it, and I hope that comes across when you listen!” ~ Ava Valianti

The tender love that went into writing and performing this track shines as you listen.”

    Ava Valianti - Distant [Music Review]

    May 23, 2025 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Alternative, Pop, Folk
    “Ava Valianti is one of those rare talents that seem to defy age. Both in her performance and writing she comes across as more savvy and wise than any fifteen year old ought to be. ‘Distant’ is a track about losing that tight bond you have with friends as you grow older. Sometimes the shift is about growing different directions and sometimes its about logistics but either way it can be tough and bewildering to let go of what once was so magical and important. Valianti captures the spirit and emotions well n this tender heartfelt song.”

      Ava Valianti - Wishing Well [Music Feview]

      November 24, 2024 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial, Alternative, Pop

      Rating: 3.5 out of 5

      “The vocal tone and emotive delivery is what held me initially to Ava Valianti’s latest single, ‘Wishing Well.’

      That said the writing is poignant and meaningful and offers a melancholy type of nostalgia we all feel from time to time.

      The world marches on, and with it change is inevitable, but as we say goodbye to the many little things that were part of our childhoods we also lose little pieces of ourselves. Those losses do as much to shape who we are as the new additions that replace them. We are all constantly shedding our skin, in both a literal and figurative sense and this song captures it so well.”
