Drawing comparisons with the likes of Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Renee Rapp, Ava Valianti is an up-and-coming singer songwriter who writes deeply personal music.

Her new single January explores the story of loving someone from afar while knowing they are with someone more suited. She brings the emotion of the difficult situation to life through a delicate acoustic pop arrangement that slowly builds through the first verse. Ava’s vocals are perfectly captivating, laidback in the verse before floating compellingly in the chorus.

January is Ava’s third single and follows on from bubble wrap and Middle Ground, both tunes that have got her noticed. I’ve certainly got her pegged as one to watch. Her latest single is out now and you can check it out below.
