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.”

Palmistry serves up stellar remix of Past Life Romeo’s acclaimed single “Sometimes, Most Nights”
Past Life Romeo is a brand-new alternative pop project, mixing electro, hyperpop and rock. There’s melancholy and a sensuality in the writing and voice of Camila, mixed with the eclectic productions of musician Carlos Loverboy (Spill Tab, Blossoms, Myd…) who co-prouced Past Life Romeo’s first EP, and the garage drums of Jim Casanova (Annie Ada…).
This first Past Life Romeo EP, scheduled for release on 24th May, titled “You Look Just Like Me”, was recorded at Motorbass and offers a mix of analog and digital; a disk that is both organic and intimate. Throughout the EP, we find the influence of Bon Iver and Burial, but also Sega Bodega or even the pop of Lorde.
The EP was mixed by James Rand (Eartheater, Sega Bodega, LSDXOXO…) and evokes introspection and intimate questions on change, self-image, gender and sexuality.
The first single to come from the EP “Sometimes, Most Nights” was released on PIAS on February 14, 2024 to acclaim from Wonderland, Radio France Inter, Tsugi, iHeart and gained features on Apple’s New Music Daily playlist, Inrocks selection of the week, month and year, Têtu selection of the month and more.
“Sometimes, Most Nights” shakes up the codes of the pop song: between verse and chorus, the line is blurred. The song’s temporality is cyclical, representative of what it evokes: a relationship that goes round and round and doesn’t move forward: “We go round and round again”. The track mixes saturated guitars reminiscent of early M83, with hyperpop production elements inspired by SOPHIE and the candid, avant-garde pop of Farrah Abraham.
“Sometimes, Most Nights” has now been remixed by Londonian singer and producer, Palmistry. His remix adds a bold shot of hyperpop, EDM, PC music and dancehall to the song, slightly sped-up, which makes it the perfect party-starter song for this summer, in the club or on a lonely day at home.
