Ava Valianti Celebrates Beautiful Chaos in "Hot Mess"

The Massachusetts singer-songwriter Ava Valianti has that rare ability to take the messy, contradictory feelings of being a teenager and turn them into something you actually want to listen to on repeat.

"Hot Mess" is a celebration of being imperfect and owning it anyway. Valianti wrote this track for everyone who's ever felt like they're failing at life while somehow still showing up. Sure, she's got smudged makeup and questionable life choices, but at least she's real.

The production is catchy enough to get stuck in your head and chaotic enough to feel authentic. Valianti's vocals carry just the right mix of sass and sincerity, making you believe every word while also wanting to shout them back at her from the crowd.

Valianti is giving you permission to exist loudly while you figure things out. And at 16, creating music this self-assured? Yeah, keep your eyes on this one. "Hot Mess" proves that sometimes the best way forward is to stop pretending you have it all together and just own the chaos.
