PJ Lets Haters Know She’s Here To Stay In Her Vibrant ‘I’m Forreal’ Video With Lute

The singer offers a visual to the lush track off her recent EP ‘Waiting For Paris.’ …

North Carolina singer PJ has had an eventful year. Along with dropping her EP Waiting For Paris, her track “Element” got a major co-sign when it was featured on Issa Rae’s curated Insecure season 4 soundtrack. The singer is also gearing up to make her debut on The Tonight Show Wednesday but first, PJ tapped Dreamville Records rapper Lute to join her in a captivating video alongside their track “I’m Forreal.”

Directed by Alison Roberto, PJ’s “I’m Forreal” video captures the singer’s vibrant energy and positions the two NC natives representing their hometown in LA. Dressed to the nines in various locations, PJ flaunts her self-made status through each boastful verse. “F*ck ’em all / Cuz baby I’m good / I found my little red right out the hood / I found a way to navigate round the woods,” she sings.

Ahead of the visual’s release, PJ wrapped up a nine-city Get Out The Vote tour with Common, which made stops in a handful of swing states. Prior to their tour, Common had called on PJ to appear with him at the virtual Planet Afropunk festival.

Ava Valianti turns self-doubt into art with “Laugh Track”

Ava Valianti

In her new single, “Laugh Track,” Ava Valianti takes us on a peculiar journey through her thoughts and feelings, which many can connect to. With a mix of dark humor and raw honesty, Ava shares her experience of feeling like life is more of a series of awkward moments rather than a smooth story where she’s the star.

Drawing inspiration from movies and shows that explore deep emotions, like The Truman Show and How I Met Your Mother’s Ted Mosby, “Laugh Track” captures the unsettling feeling of always being on stage, even when nobody’s watching. It resounds with anyone who has sat alone and questioned whether the laughter around them is meant for them or at their expense.

The song combines deeper sounds with a light, catchy vibe, making its heavy themes approachable enough for dancing. Ava’s voice is strong and open, giving each line an authentic feeling that hits home.

Laugh Track” is a stand-out because it embraces chaos. Ava doesn’t wrap up her insecurity and self-doubt in a tidy package. Instead, she celebrates the messiness of life and finds comfort in the imperfect characters we often see on TV and in ourselves. “Laugh Track” mirrors our experiences. Like the best comedy shows, it makes you laugh, feel uncomfortable, and reminds you that you’re not alone in your struggles.
