Ava Valianti – “celebrity”: When Love Makes Someone Your Biggest Star
Sometimes I wonder why people are soo crush-obsessed with someone that even if they casually pass a paperclip to them, they consider framing it on their wall like a rare museum artifact. It’s crazy how affection can affect the little gestures from people on others. But then again, when you look at it from a love-romantic perspective, I understand. And that dizzying, hilarious reality is what singer-songwriter Ava Valianti taps into on her single, “celebrity”.
The track that serves as the lead single for her upcoming EP “kismet”, flips the idea of fame completely on its head, and I love it. Now many may not get it, but you see finding that person who loves you, sees you and enjoy you for who you are is beautiful, especially when they see you like a celebrity in their own kinda way. Now while Ava spends her real life performing on stages, this song shows what happens when you fall so hard for a regular person that they become the biggest star in your universe. To them, no one comes close, you’re the only person that will make them blush even by just smiling back at them, taking a pic with them and such feeling is quite rare these days. It’s like being a celebrity and instead of falling for another star, you fell for a regular person, and to you they became that star person in your world.
If you’ve been listening to Ava, you’d realize that this track brings a different gravy, marking a stylish shift away from her earlier indie-pop and rock roots, and rather this track steps into a smooth jazz and pop groove. You get warm electric piano chords cradling the rhythm, paired with soft, brushing drum beats and a rolling bassline that gives the song a cozy, late-night feel. It’s really cool and amazing, I love how the production stays clean and uncluttered, it gives her sweet smooth vocals enough space to deliver and ride the beats whilst soaring. The atmosphere is quiet, conversational and very intimate. Her light vocals brings in this breezy, calmness attitude that stings you and stays with you. She sings with a subtle, playful smile in her voice, making every line feel like a page ripped straight out of a secret diary.
“celebrity” is all about that fine line between infatuation and idolization. It explores how easy it is to look at someone through rose-colored glasses, turning their smallest, everyday actions into monumental events. It’s a gentle reminder of how romantic, and slightly ridiculous, falling in love can feel. And this is that kind of feeling maybe we all yearn for, to be with someone that makes your everyday life feel like a one lifetime experience. They are always there, the little sight of them, and you can’t even hold yourself together, it’s like you’ve been loved bombarded by their every action that makes you feel like a treasured lost gem.
Ava Valianti has crafted a track that feels genuine, charming, and effortlessly cool. It goes on to show us that sometimes, you don’t need to go the extra mile to make someone blush, your little actions and how you make them feel is enough to pierce their heart with your warmth and charm. It’s a track that delivers a fresh, soulful vibe that proves great songwriting does not need to be loud to leave a huge impression on you. Go ahead and stream “celebrity”, which is available on major streaming platforms and enjoy a smooth jazz, pop and r&b fusion like no other.
