Amanda Ava Koci, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/avamax/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ava Max,</a> 28, grew up in a family of musicians of Albanian origin, expatriates in America, in the greenery of Virginia. And although she has been singing since she was a child, she met fame in 2018 with the single "Sweet but Psycho", with the stage name of Ava Max and a hyper asymmetrical haircut , halfway between Bj&ouml;rk and <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/music/most-iconic-grammy-performances-singers-music-awards-beyonce-pink-lady-gaga" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Gaga</a> , which she looks like so much so that she may be the younger sister. The single came after an ongoing collaboration with producer Circkut met at his birthday party in Los Angeles, when the cake arrived when someone asked "Who sings Happy Birthday?" and Ava sang the jingle. Worldwide success arrived in a few years, which saw her climb all the charts and exceed three billion worldwide streams with her debut single, so much so that she ended up in the prestigious Forbes "30 under 30" in 2021. The first album "Heaven and Hell" was a statement of what is defined as pop-feminism: &laquo;I wanted to tell how it is for a girl to establish herself in the music industry, and I tried to define with music what female empowerment is for me&raquo; . It is no coincidence that its icon is <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/pop-culture/break-my-soul-nuovo-singolo-beyonce-album-reinassance-uscita-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyonce</a> , who made "Who Run the World: Girls" a hymn of encouragement and emancipation for all women. &laquo;I love Beyonc&eacute;, she produces a lot of music. Single after single, album after album and non-stop world tours. I'd like to set up my career the same way. Another artist I admire is Rihanna&raquo;

&quot;After I broke up, I went from blonde to red. Then I wondered if it was okay to change my appearance for someone else, so I went back to my natural color, brown.&quot;

His second album “Diamonds &amp; Dancefloors”, out in <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/pop-culture/tutti-i-vincitori-dei-golden-globe-awards-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January 2023 ,</a> is the 14-track tale of a love gone wrong. “This moment is very emotional for me. The album required two years of work and is completely different from the previous one. It talks about my personal life including my love disappointments. Ava has overcome two important breakups, &quot;I&#39;m talking about romantic <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/pop-culture/vips-che-si-sono-lasciati-break-up-celebrita-ilary-blasi-totti" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationships,</a> it doesn&#39;t concern a single person and the lyrics tell why today I am who I am&quot; . Relationships are complicated, &quot;it&#39;s probably the hardest thing to learn and I&#39;m mostly a mess.&quot; And the remedy for a broken heart? “ There&#39;s no cure for that. You don&#39;t forget that your heart is broken but you learn to be stronger. Only time eases the pain and helps us grow.&quot; The album title came by itself: « I was at home, during the isolation period of the Covid-19 and I was dancing in the kitchen. I had just finished writing the song of the same name and I thought, “Great. D&amp;D. It can&#39;t not be the title&quot;. But the song that most of all represents it is “One of Us”. “In a story both sides should work hard to make things work. This piece instead tells of how often this is not the case: there are those who are willing to fight for each other and those who are not. It&#39;s very sad&quot;.
