Ava Delaney Shares New Album ‘everything’
The multi-faceted music artist Ava Delaney first took the stage at four years old or a local production of The Sound of Music, playing Liesel, and practically didn’t ever leave. She claims that her mother implies she leaped out of the womb, singing Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones. She attributes her musical proclivities to the whirling sounds of sage lyrical ladies who fostered her musical propensity. She recently relocated to New York City to follow her musical theatre and music ambitions after earning her degree from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
Her latest offering, everything, is an imaginative and expansive collection of songs. The 11-track record was recorded in 2022 with producer Brian Kennedy (Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Rascal Flats, The Weekend) at his home studio in Van Nuys.
Ava Delaney went on a journey of emotional, artistic, and spiritual discovery, and she placed a great deal of importance on establishing a serene, potent studio atmosphere when creating this album. She kept a copy of “Be Here Now” and her deck of spirit animal oracle cards close at hand, and she burned Inscesnce every day.
With every release, she reveals the sincerity and sensitivity found in her songs, driven by her creative exploration of new sounds and desire to establish a stronger connection with her audience.
everything, is an empowering storytelling offering while transporting listeners into a realm of engaging soundscapes. This collection of tracks in particular seems to embody her essence as a musician and artist—yet another superb effort. She is dedicated to making music that resonates deeply with audiences as she progresses in the music industry.
On the release, Ava Delaney comments, “‘everything’ was a journey of fully investigating and giving a voice to all the swimming, yearning, curious parts within me. It’s titled ‘everything’ because the deeper I go, the more infinite words there are to discover within. This album is a quest to find an oar, a spiritual center, an anchor, within the wild whirling tides of the sea of life.”
Emcee/Producer Toneyboi has re-emerged from a busy year (including work with Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine & Jae Skeese) to drop a new single. “No Scale” Produced by ILL Tone (Elcamino, Lloyd Banks) is the first leak from the forthcoming LP, Patience Pays. To drop on 11/27.
