Ava Valianti’s latest single 'Laugh Track' shines with both vulnerability and defiance. She’s never been one to shy away from emotional nuance, but here, she digs even deeper, threading satire through sadness and scoring existential dread with a deceptively tender arrangement.

The track kicks off with a gentle guitar loop and soft-spoken verses, luring you into what sounds like a reflective ballad, but Valianti doesn’t stay in safe territory for long. There’s a calculated sharpness in the lyrics, a kind of theatrical self-awareness that plays with the idea of being observed.

What really sets 'Laugh Track' apart is how it balances its introspective themes with musical restraint. The production avoids overindulgence, opting instead for an atmosphere that lets her voice command attention.

With 'Laugh Track', Ava Valianti is deepening her wondrous catalogue to date, delivering one of her more mesmerising efforts yet.
