At just 15 years old, Ava Valianti continues to enchant audiences with her ability to tackle deeply emotional themes through poignant lyrics and captivating indie pop melodies. Her latest single, “Wishing Well,” is no exception, offering a heartfelt exploration of the struggles and bittersweet beauty of growing up.
Inspired by the transformation of cherished childhood places, “Wishing Well” delves into the small but meaningful losses that come with age. These seemingly minor changes, such as the disappearance of familiar comforts, serve as metaphors for the fading simplicity of youth, replaced by the complexity of adulthood. Ava’s reflective lyrics encapsulate the longing to hold onto childlike wonder while navigating the anxieties of growing older.
“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,” Ava shares. “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.”
Known for her introspective songwriting and ethereal melodies, Ava has drawn comparisons to Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Gracie Abrams, and Lana Del Rey. With “Wishing Well,” she delivers yet another profound journey of self-discovery, echoing the universal challenge of accepting change while holding onto the magic of the past.
Ava’s star continues to rise, with her previous singles—“Bubble Wrap,” “Middle Ground,” and “January“—earning airplay on over 60 radio stations across North America and accolades like her 2024 New England Music Awards nominations for “Pop Act of the Year” and “Rising Star: Massachusetts.” Additionally, her music has been praised by Unheard Gems for leaving “an indelible impression long after the final note fades away.”
“Wishing Well” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming platforms. This latest release solidifies Ava Valianti as a young artist with a timeless voice, capable of transforming life’s growing pains into music that resonates across generations.
