AVA LILY
DROPS STUNNING LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO
OF NEW SINGLE ‘NOBODY BREAKS MY HEART LIKE I DO’
Newcomer Ava Lily has today unveiled a live performance video of recent release ‘Nobody Breaks My Heart Like I Do’. The stunning live version was recorded in the grand backdrop of St John’s Church, Hoxton and was produced by Max Bandicoot (GOOT Studio) – watch/listen here.
The singer-songwriter’s latest offering is a gorgeously vulnerable, stripped-down track showcasing her flawless falsetto and an ability to write delicate melodies with undeniable sophistication. Ava Lily’s songwriting prowess sees her bare all on ‘Nobody Breaks My Heart Like I Do’, which explores the personal theme of self-destruction.
Ava Lily said: “I fell in love with somebody I was never allowed to fall in love with. I was learning self-acceptance and acknowledging that I was causing myself all my suffering and pain. It was right in that moment of confusion – I love him but I can’t be next to him? It’s really heavy.”
The single follows 2022 releases ‘Sad Party’ and ‘Tight Fit’, which boasted ethereal vocals backed by confident lo-fi R&B/pop sensibilities. All songs will feature on Ava Lily’s forthcoming second EP, Sunday Music Club, set to be released Spring 2023. The trio of tracks cement the artist as one to watch in 2023 and beyond; vocally, sonically and with her flair for storytelling.
Ava Lily’s fantastic storytelling is no surprise to the industry, having written songs for some of the UK’s biggest musical talents. Originally from Bristol and based in London, she has been writing music and playing piano since childhood, using songwriting as a means of expression and therapy.
After being discovered by Naughty Boy from her cover of ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me’, Ava Lily was signed to Virgin EMI where she collaborated with artists including Emeli Sande, Professor Green, Laura Mvula and James Arthur, and upon exiting her deal co-wrote ‘Common’ off of ZAYN’s Icarus Falls record. Through that process, Lily continued to hone her craft and develop an even deeper respect for the complex art of songwriting – and ultimately decided that she both wanted and needed to tell those stories as an artist herself.
On her last EP ‘Higher Love’, Lily tells a story of the powerful moment of feeling comfortable alone after a major breakup, and the strength she felt from deciding to put herself first. Her music shares the qualities of honest and empowered songwriting with elegant and soulful vocals.
