Welcome to the age of LIV AVA, where style is fierce, feelings are loud, and music drips with significant excess. The lead single, “Lonely Again” does more than just introduce LIV AVA to the world, it announces him with the kind of bravado only an artist who writes, produces, and performs everything himself can bring to the table. This is a declaration, a late-night disposition, a clear catwalk for the emotionally intrepid.
“Lonely Again” is as powerful as it is spellbinding, clocking just past three minutes. You’re plunged into a high-drama dreamscape right from the very first synth-stained note. It’s the type of song you blast by yourself at midnight in your most dramatic get-up, mascara streaming, heart on your sleeve with room to unfurl further. What makes “Lonely Again” hit differently isn’t only its slick, almost filmic production, or the way it threads its edge and openness, but also the personality you feel behind it, too. LIV AVA isn’t following trends, he has created his universe. One in which couture collides with chaos and feeling is worn like a designer suit. There’s a fearless theatricality at play here that channels the audacity of pop icons who have come before, but it’s filtered through a new, modern lens.
It is a song for anyone who lives life at full volume, the fashionistas, the dreamers, the rebels with broken hearts, and those with smudged eyeliner. It is motivated by the urgency of an artist who has experienced the isolation and met it with strength. “Lonely Again” is a clear experience, a late-night anthem for anyone who sees beauty in the ache and strength in the spectacle.
