“Distant” - Ava Valianti

Let’s talk about Ava Valianti, the Newbury-based singer-songwriter who’s quickly becoming the indie-pop confidante we all wish we had in high school—and honestly, still need in adulthood. Her latest single, “Distant” (dropped on May 23rd), hits exactly that sweet spot between nostalgia and heartbreak, while somehow keeping things light, warm, and vibey enough for a windows-down summer drive.
