Ava rang in 2023 with a stellar performance on CNN's New Year's Eve Liveand is ringing in album release with her recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Showand an exclusive story featured on Rolling Stone, which wrote, "Max's vocals shine on 'Ghost' as she sings about 'feeling haunted' by her ex over sparkling synth lines.
On the disco-drenched 'Hold Up, Wait a Minute,' Max questions her partner's connection with a past love. And her most emotional song on the project, 'One of Us,' started as a ballad but transformed into an empowering anthem about coming to terms with the end of a relationship."
