GRUENHEIDE – Church Of Arpzilla pt.1 (Spotify)
“Just give yourself some time to recharge. Open the door of Melodic Techno and get into fantasy. Wicked synthesizer loops, arpeggios and dynamic effects form a superb result of success. Concentrate on the drops and fade ins while taking a deep breath for the next seconds.”

10after10 – Forgive Me (Video)
“Sometimes we realize we have done wrong, feel the regret of our bad deeds and wish we knew more. This is the general idea of 10after10-Forgive Me. A focus on the importance of forgiveness and the avoidance of repeating the same mistakes. All presented in a great Cinematic track.”
-Nagamag.com
“There are so many things I wish I knew
Wandered for so long, to come back to the same place”
“The music video of “Forgive Me” is a pictorial analogy of the everlasting guilt driven by a bad decision which leads to ruminate the “I wish I knew” thought.
The scene takes place following the moment when God talked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to ask them why they were hiding. They must have felt so guilty even though God was showing them so much love.
In the video, Eve is wandering as she seeks forgiveness for the sin that we are still paying for to this day. She wanted to know so badly that it led her to take the worst bloody decision in the world when she was totally free in the garden… How can we break free from such a burden?
Letting go is always a decision away, it starts when you accept that you are guilty, selfish or sometimes, an asshole, but it’s ok, as long as you don’t keep being it! The biggest challenge after is to open the door and let the light in… to let love in.”

LOUNGETUNES – Morning Coffee (Video)
“Just imagine; outside the window at sunset the hot asphalt cools down, lonely lanterns are lit and the clouds are painted in purple colors. Tired city streets are covered with advancing shadows, and the melodies of your favorite jazzhop and chillbeats are heard from the speakers.”
“Вы только представьте; за окном на закате остывает раскалённый асфальт, зажигаются одинокие фонари и облака раскрашиваются в пурпурные цвета. Уставшие улицы городов застилают наступающие тени, а из колонок доносятся мелодии любимого jazzhop и chillbeats.”

Ava has taken the winning approach to her writing career and added her effortless and deeply moving vocals to the mix. Her honest approach to both the songs themselves as well as their delivery gives listeners an instant and true to real life connection and understanding into the world of Ava Kay.
Kay describes songwriting as coming from “a feeling, a release, an expression” and her debut solo single “Wild Again” highlights that truth.

With additional production by Ryan Stewart (Carly Rae Jepsen) Ava has left no stone unturned to deliver magic to the listeners ear.
“I often crave calm, reflective music myself and I wanted to be able to create songs that were true to that, while still making records that people can connect to without it feeling too insular, Wild Again feels like all that without any compromises” shares Kay. The musician confides, “I think the artists I am influenced by the most are those who are true to their musical landscape, and are able to convey an emotional sentiment in a distinct manner that is undeniably their own sound.”
