Ava Valianti confronts quiet goodbyes on stirring new single 'Running on Empty'

At just 16, Massachusetts-born singer-songwriter Ava Valianti is already carving out a space with her candid, emotionally layered songwriting, and her new single 'Running on Empty' is a striking example of that.

Unfolding with a delicate mix of indie-pop textures and heartfelt lyricism, the track explores the quiet unraveling of relationships through slow, imperceptible moments of distance. Valianti’s voice glides over minimalist production with a sense of clarity and ache, capturing the disorientation that comes when someone close gradually becomes a stranger.

'Running on Empty' is a mature, introspective offering from an artist just beginning to define her voice, and certainly one to watch.
