TRACK OF THE WEEK
While still only 20 years of age, US singer and songwriter avalon has already won our hearts. We can’t express how much we’ve fallen in love with this artist’s work, and her new single, ‘how to lie’, is sure to add even more hype for the talented starlet.
The track encapsulates the devastating pain that we suffer from broken relationships. The song projects intensity and rawness but also feels vulnerable and fragile. avalon explains:
“‘how to lie’ was written almost two years ago. I was talking to someone that I really liked. One day I was in a session and got a call from that person. I went to the bathroom and as the conversation went on, I began to realize I was getting dumped. When I am upset I write poetry and so during the phone call I went to my notes app and started to write these poems. I went back into the session and sang the poems I had written literally 2 minutes prior, with tears in my eyes and a runny nose. It was so real and raw.
Obviously that situation sucks but I am so happy the song was recorded in that painful moment. During the period of sadness from that situitionship ending, I would listen to the song and feel so seen and understood. It really got me through that hard time. When I tease ‘how to lie’ on social media I get comments saying ‘I can feel the emotion wow’ and it gives me goosebumps every time because I was literally crying in the take we used.
I hope this song can bring comfort to people who don’t feel enough or who don’t feel seen. The song is about giving a whole plate and constantly getting a crumb in return- it is not about a breakup, my experience just happened to be in that form. So I dedicate this song to people who love hard and love fast in any situation. It is very draining and lonely sometimes. You are not alone, I see you, I hear you and I wrote this song for you.”
avalon’s authentic approach to songwriting tells us that this is an artist who is certain to pick up momentum in 2026. This is a talent unafraid to share her truest emotions with the world, and that’s something incredibly refreshing to experience.
