Ava Valianti Displays Grace in Growing Pains with New Single “Distant”

thisaktmusic

27 May, 2025

At 15, Ava Valianti is emerging as a poetic powerhouse within the indie-pop genre. “Distant”, Ava’s latest release, is a rhythmic, bright, yet emotionally heavy single about the slight pain of drifting apart from childhood friends. This song marks a milestone in Ava's young and already substantial career.

From Newbury, Massachusetts, Ava, despite her age, displays an impressive maturity in her writing. "Distant” is a sympathetic take on change, reminiscence, and the unnoticed emotional distance life inflicts.

The richness of the storytelling is present throughout the lyrics, as you're pointedly reminded of how those brief moments of connectivity slip you by, not through conflict, but through time.

The lyrics are nostalgic, aching, and the upbeat rhythm provides a feel-good, almost cathartic feel to the song. Indie-pop with meaning, evoking the paradox of adolescence.

Ava's songwriting prowess has begun to capture significant accolades, including airplay on over 150 radio stations, two New England Music Award nominations, and runner-up honors at the International Acoustic Music Awards. With a debut EP set to arrive sometime in the fall of 2025, “Distant” is yet another indicator of a promising future for this fantastic storyteller.
