newbury’s own ava valianti returns with distant – a glowing indie-pop gem soaked in a sadness of growing apart. written with the kind of clarity that belies her age, the track captures the ache of fading childhood friendships over a stunning summer-ready groove.

at just 15, ava’s already building an impressive catalogue. with over 150 spins on national radio, award nominations, and performances across new york and new england, her star is rising fast. distant marks her sixth single, and teases a debut ep due later this year.

but she’s not just another teen with a good voice – there’s a sharpness to this, and – most importantly – ava has something to say. this one’s for the hopeless romantics, the growing-up-too-fast crew, and anyone who’s ever smiled through goodbye.

thank u for making this ava valianti x
