At just 15 years old, Ava Valianti delivers a profoundly emotional indie-pop single, Wishing Well. Released on November 22, the track is a poignant reflection on the struggle of growing up and confronting the inevitable changes that life brings. Inspired by her personal experiences, the song explores how the transformation of familiar childhood places can symbolize the fading simplicity of youth and the challenges of holding on to one’s sense of wonder amidst the pressures of adulthood.
In Ava’s words:
“The song captures the pain of losing pieces of childhood that once felt like magic, while still holding onto hope and wonder. 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.”
The tender acoustic ballad combines introspective storytelling with Ava’s signature ethereal melodies, drawing comparisons to Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams, and Olivia Rodrigo. Wishing Well resonates deeply with listeners of all ages, offering solace to those grappling with the passage of time and the bittersweet process of letting go.
Ava’s star continues to rise. Her previous singles—Bubble Wrap, Middle Ground, and January—garnered airplay across over 60 North American radio stations, including WXRV 95.9 The River’s Homegrown Music Showcase. She was also a featured guest on WATD’s Tiny Stage program and earned nominations for the 2024 New England Music Awards.
Fans were able to celebrate the release at Metzy’s Cantina in Newburyport, MA, on November 24, 2024. With a debut EP set for early 2025, Ava’s heartfelt music is already carving out a space in the indie-pop world, marking her as an artist to watch.
