Ava Valianti releases bittersweet indie-pop anthem 'Distant'

15-year-old singer-songwriter Ava Valianti shares her new single 'Distant', a bright yet emotionally resonant track that captures the quiet ache of growing apart from childhood friends.

Fusing infectious pop energy with indie introspection, 'Distant' contrasts its upbeat rhythm with lyrics that reflect the silent, slow-motion heartbreak of drifting away from people you once knew by heart.

“I wrote it when I realized that sometimes, no matter how much you care, people drift away,” Ava says. “It’s one of the hardest parts of growing up, but also one of the most real.”

With her signature mix of emotional depth and melody-forward production, Ava continues to carve out a space entirely her own, and 'Distant' cements her as a rising voice for a new generation of listeners learning to smile through the sadness.
