Ava Valianti Opens the Door to Vulnerability with New Single "Clean My Room"
Behind a closed bedroom door, where uncertainty loiters and unspoken anxieties meet, Ava Valianti has penned her latest release, Clean My Room. At just sixteen, the Newbury, MA native peels back the veneers of adolescent angst with ghostly honesty, weaving a song that's like the journal page you never meant for anyone to read. Out September 5th, this close-up single doesn't just lead to her upcoming debut EP—it also asks you to stand there with the quiet of youth slowly disintegrating, the sweet-sour bedlam of figuring out who you are.
With words dancing on the edge of vulnerability and with melodies exploding open into something expansive and purging, Clean My Room turns common imagery into a portrait of survival. Ava sings of self-doubt, of loneliness that stretches on forever, of the weight of pretending that everything's okay when the truth is much more fragile. Her gentle but unyielding voice guides listeners through this delicate tempest until the song builds to a textured crescendo—fuzzy and lovely, as are the emotions it's attempting to hold onto.
"Something from a very personal place," Ava admits, and the sincerity rings out in each note. It's the sort of admission that makes you stop and listen, hearing your own echo in another's tale. From her 2023 debut with bubble wrap, Ava has been quietly building a music universe that doesn't just amuse—it talks to us. With radio play on hundreds of stations, recognition by the New England Music Awards, and a passionate fan base, she's already establishing that her artistry transcends her years.
And now, as she readies the release of her debut EP this fall, Clean My Room feels like a hinge, a threshold to more. Critics have compared her to Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, and Olivia Rodrigo, but Ava is creating a space that is uniquely her own: intimate in its vulnerability, but universally relatable; tender and magnificent. Fresh from shows at cult venues and festival festivals, and with momentum pushing her into the mainstream, Ava Valianti is one of indie pop's most promising new young writers—turning dirty bedrooms into orchestras of reality.
