Ava Valianti Pours Her Heart into “Running on Empty”
Ava Valianti‘s new single, “Running on Empty,” has a rare kind of honesty. It feels like reading someone’s diary in a soft hotel room. The song was written in the quiet hours after two live shows in New York City. It captures that fragile moment when love starts to fade away, not in one big goodbye, but in small, almost invisible ways.
Ava’s voice conveys both pain and acceptance, and the verses feel both personal and relatable. She reminds us that heartbreak sometimes just slips away, leaving us staring at the ceiling and wondering what went wrong. “Running on Empty” is the sound of that emptiness. It’s melodic, cinematic, and very human.
From the first note, Ava’s stories take the listener on a journey through love, exhaustion, and emotional rebirth. The production of the song wraps around her voice with gentle restraint, not too much, but it has a big impact, like the space left behind when someone you love fades from memory. Ava finds her truth in that quiet space: heartbreak is also about finding yourself again in the silence they leave behind.
“Running on Empty” is like having a late-night talk with your own heart. It’s honest, open, and needed. It’s a cathartic release that stays with you long after the last note fades. Ava Valianti demonstrates that she is not only a talented songwriter but also an artist who isn’t afraid to confront her pain and transform it into art that speaks for all of us who have loved and lost.

Sofi Vonn creates cinematic intimacy with her captivating single “Selfish”
Sofi Vonn builds on the atmospheric exploration of her second EP, “Lucky with a Side of Depression,” by immersing you in a deep blend of nighttime feelings and electro-pop. “Selfish” was made in London with up-and-coming producer Malthus, and it captures the EP’s dreamy central theme.
Vonn’s take on pop is always deep and makes you think about yourself, and “Selfish” sums up the struggle between wanting to protect your heart and wanting to be recognized. The song takes you to a softly lit world of thought without making it louder. “Selfish” derives its power from restraint rather than loud rhythms or theatrical hooks.
Sofi Vonn shows that electronic pop can be deep, soulful, and emotional while still being classy. The single fits perfectly into the EP’s emotional framework, where longing meets awareness, desire meets consequence, and beauty meets pain. It’s late-night realism wrapped in dream-pop, and Vonn seems like the perfect person to represent this mix.
“Selfish” is a voice trying to be real, both with other people and, maybe more difficult, with itself. Vonn turns complicated things into simple ones, and in “Selfish,” Sofi Vonn shows that the modern pop scene still has room for subtlety, emotional depth, and authenticity that isn’t too flashy but still makes a big difference.
