Ava Valianti - Hot Mess
Ava invites you to own your messy side with her stirring new single, 'Hot Mess'! Fresh off her debut album release, 'petunias, 'Hot Mess' has her mixing things up a bit, diving into a stirring Britney Spears-esque pop rock sound while preserving her introspective storytelling style writing vocals. 'Hot Mess' opens with astral synths, glitching and swerving, launching into quirky yet oh so groovy pop rock arrangement. Ava begins to sing with a nonchalant cool manner, “She has her hair done in a bow, my makeup′s smudged from yesterday, she gets up early, puts down her phone, I’m logging hours like I′m getting paid…” 'Hot Mess' centers around themes of self-awareness and acceptance. Eva seems to compare herself to a perfect version of how the world wants her to be but instead, she's a 'Hot Mess'! We love the back and forth contrast between points of perspective, one from the outside and the other is how she actually feels. Her humble acceptance of her own chaos and imperfections is what makes this so compelling. Its empowers listeners to check their own modes of self-talk, an important message during these times! This is the kind of track you can envision as the score for the latest comedy drama starring Lindsay Lohan, 'Freaky Friday2', where she once again switches bodies with her own mother, and they have no choice but to navigate each other's hot mess! Musically, this is thoroughly enjoyable with sultry rhythmic strums, messy crashing drums, and familiar pop-rock melodies. The chorus is enthralling with swinging rhythmic strums and loud declarations of 'Im a hot mess!' We can totally imagine a room full of fans screaming along with her, a powerful collective catharsis. 'Hot Mess' is beautifully composed and speaks volumes to this young's artist artistic vision and energy. She brings an effortlessly cool but sincere personality to this opus, making her thoroughly likable and relatable. Ultimately, the message Ava leaves you with is this, you're better off accepting your 'Hot Mess' rather than fighting it, stop changing yourself to be what others want you to.
