Ava Valianti Unmasks the Pressure of Performance in Haunting Single “Laugh Track”

Newbury native Ava Valianti continues her rise as a bold and emotionally resonant voice in indie pop with the release of her latest single, “Laugh Track.” The song finds Ava blending raw introspection with clever cultural references to paint a brutally honest portrait of identity, self-doubt, and the invisible pressure to perform.

With lyrical nods to The Truman Show and How I Met Your Mother’s Ted Mosby, Ava compares her life to a sitcom where she’s not sure if the world is laughing with her or at her. 

Sonically, “Laugh Track” weaves haunting melodies with indie-pop sensibilities, combining Olivia Rodrigo’s lyrical bite with Lana Del Rey’s cinematic moodiness. The result is both hypnotic and deeply human.

More than a confessional, the song questions who we are beneath the roles we play: “Am I in control of my own story, or am I just playing a part?” It’s a universal question, wrapped in a uniquely personal narrative.

With a growing list of accolades, including airplay on 130+ radio stations and recognition from the International Acoustic Music Awards, Ava Valianti proves again that she’s not just a rising artist but a vital storyteller for a generation craving authenticity.
