In Ava Della Pietra's new single "2 can play," it tells a narrative of getting back at someone who messes with their feelings. With nods to getting with friends, dirty game playing, and loathing, Ava proves her musical storytelling capabilities are stronger than ever. Ava encapsulates a fun, catchy, and heart-stomping anthem, describing this song as "A bold, revenge-fueled pop anthem that turns heartbreak into empowerment with biting lyrics, slick production, and a confident alter ego stepping into the spotlight." The lyrics are sharp and sassy, making it easy for listeners to relate and feel every word. The beat keeps the energy high, matching the deep and fiery emotions behind the song.
The production of this song carries not only Ava's vocals, it allows for the emotion and themes to flow to their maximum strength. The beat builds intensity in all the right places, backing Ava's powerful voice with confidence and clarity needed to match the vibe. The single has a polished sound, but still keeps a bit of edge that matches the mood of the lyrics, message, and vocals. Even down to the little details, like echoes and harmonies, add to the song to make it feel full without being overwhelming. Each section flows smoothly into the next, helping the story unfold naturally.
Recording her first song at 10 years old, Ava has had a lifelong passion for music. Ava is currently studying at Harvard University - Berklee College of Music Joint Studies Program. Ava has written over 130 songs, with a lot of creative embodiment, when she was quarantining with her family on Long Island during the pandemic. “My creativity was flowing; all my emotions manifested themselves into new lyrics.” Alec Benjamin is one of Ava’s main influences, along with Lauv, Billie Eilish, Lewis Capaldi, Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, OneRepublic, Jonas Brothers, Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez, Maroon 5, and Ed Sheeran. With over 26 million global streams, 1.4 million social media followers, and a catalog of more than 150 original songs, it is clear that Ava is a rising pop artist to keep on the radar.
