Brand new single by artist Ava Valianti "Clean My Room" is a vivid portrayal of the spiral one can fall into and the mask they present to others to prove everything can stay together. With the chosen chord progression invoking emotions of a worrisome youth, and detailed-oriented lyrics, Valianti reflects on the combination of moments that constantly haunt someone enough to feel trapped on the edge. The indie pop track is a perfect way to reflect and understand one's own issues with self-isolation and regret of one's actions. "Clean My Room" is an incredibly personal track that shifts listeners back to a moment of similar feelings, and this only proves how great of an artist Ava Valianti is.
The opening line portraying a purchase that was not worth the investment is a great metaphor for a feeling we all know so well, no matter our age. It's the feeling of constantly putting in so much effort only for the outcome not being what we want. We see this theme throughout the song, where the effects are not what the narrator expected or wanted. In addition to the vivid imagery in the lyrics, the instrumentals themselves perfectly encapsulate this emotional journey. This specific chord progression, along with the choice of a strong acoustic guitar, is exactly what you would expect to portray a young adult journey. It all makes "Clean My Room" feel precise in its artistic choices. Same thing goes with the vocal performances, the background vocals all blend together really well and in a way paints the image of all these thoughts haunting the narrator. Valianti's overall performance on this track is a great way to understand what her work is about and how authentic she wishes to be with her audience.
Ava Valianti is a young artist originally from Newbury, Massachusetts. She began her musical journey in 2023 and since then she has cultivated quite the following. Her early singles have been well loved by different radio stations and she has received multiple award nominations. For someone so young she does a great job in her portrayal of complex and vivid emotions, and it becomes so clear why she has the following that she does. What works about "Clean My Room" is it's a song that is most relatable to its younger listeners, but it's still mature enough that it becomes a song for all ages, and that's beautiful. What we can next expect from Ava Valianti is her upcoming EP that is set to be released this fall.
