Ava Renn Unveils the Anthemic "Dog Eyes"
Ava Renn has had enough of whispering. She leaves "Dog Eyes" behind and moves into something alive with the pulse of warmth and energy. This new song released on November 21st, is anything but an anthem—it's more of an awakening, and it's the first flash of light from Ava Renn's forthcoming debut album, "Lightning Child." This goes well beyond speaking; this is what's left when language dissolves and all that's left is sensation.
"Dog Eyes" emerges from the expansive desert of West Texas, and there is the same electrical current of that landscape in its veins. There is its grit, its bones, its silence, and it's all infused with an electrical charge, and that is what all creative endeavors can hope to capture in moments. Renn has remarked that "Dog Eyes" was "the first song that came alive, awakened all those parts of us we so diligently bury," and you can feel all that in every one of its beats.
The visual equivalent of this single continues this ferocity. This is not merely an accompanying music video, but, in part, is reflective of Renn herself, Renn's unwinding and reclaiming. The pattern of ideas established by Lightning Child continue and flourish in this new release, ideas such as freedom earned and hardened, truth without shame, and a return to self silence not to be kept. She is remaking this world that is tough and beautiful, full of feeling and without pretense.
Through all these nine hot days and nights, "Lightning Child" came alive in a whirlwind of muddy rock, spiky pop, and dark glitter, with a sparkle that shines with '90s punk energy—it's at once confessional and incendiary. But with "Dog Eyes," Ava Renn not only marks her arrival, she emerges as something of a force of nature. She's lighting the fuse she's been carrying with her all along, and she's finally ready to watch the sky erupt.
