Unrelenting in her ability to show time and time again that her well of creative inspiration runs deep, Newbury, Massachusetts-based indie pop artist Ava Valianti has demanded the place she holds in her fans’ hearts and minds as she continues to release earworm hit after earworm hit. Gaining traction with every musical debut, she celebrates the latest milestone in her already impressive career with her latest single, The Conversation. A deeply pensive and lyrically motivated sonic ballad, she shows incredible depth in her prowess for both narrative structure and melodic instrumentality with every verse as the track takes hold of listeners’ sensibilities.
An ambient acoustic guitar plucks in an optimistic tone to begin the piece, and we immediately feel the weight of this music wash over us from the first notes of the instrumental introduction. Shortly after, Valianti’s lyrics appear and place us in the core of the story from the opening line as she sings “Piggy back over poison ivy. You get brushed a thousand times, but I’m above you flying.”
Anchored in the evolving style of composition that informs the sentimentality of the record, the instrumental layering of the track showcases a progression of depth in the music with every verse seeming to take on an added layer of compositional brilliance as each piece in the orchestra informs the emotional throughline. Having accomplished so much with this latest release, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming next from this young artist’s mind and studio.
