Ava Valianti’s Laugh Track proves she’s a rising voice far beyond her years, blending sharp lyrical wit with raw vulnerability and a vocal presence that’s quietly commanding. Emerging from Massachusetts’ fertile music scene, Ava crafts a track that dances between melancholia and brightness, mirroring the emotional rollercoaster of life with unflinching honesty.

From the jump, Laugh Track spills its thoughts in a rush, a mile-a-minute inner monologue that feels like eavesdropping on the most sincere parts of someone’s mind. Her vocal tone shifts effortlessly—from deep, nonchalant musings to soaring, angelic falsettos—reminding us of early Dylan storytelling with the polish of modern indie pop. Think Olivia Rodrigo’s emotional precision paired with Lana Del Rey’s melodic haze, all filtered through Ava’s unique lens.

Lyrically, the song stings and soothes in equal measure. Lines like “I hurt more than I’d like to admit” and “we’re all laughing together… is it with me or at me?” peel back the curated performance of modern life. Cultural nods to Ted Mosby add a clever layer of relatability, anchoring her self-awareness in a world of overexposure and curated personas.

There’s a profound tension here between wanting to be seen and the fear of being misunderstood. The warm, cozy soundscape contrasts with the internal spiral, creating a powerful juxtaposition that makes you both nod your head and pause to reflect.

In Laugh Track, Ava Valianti doesn’t just share a song—she opens a window. And what we see on the other side is a swirl of adolescent clarity, confusion, courage, and heart. It’s deeply human. And it sticks.
