Ava Della Pietra - Happy For You [Music Video Review] February 10, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Adult Contemporary Rating: 3.5 out of 5 “Ava Della Pietra has the kind of talent that immediately commands your attention. Of course her stellar vocals are not Ava’s only talent, as this Broadway actress is no stranger to the spotlight. The theatrical influence does come through in her vocal style, though not at the sacrifice of the Indie Pop vibe that also conjures thoughts of Taylor Swift at times.’Happy For You’ is an emotional journey well worth taking. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
River - HAPPY FOR YOU [Music Video Review] May 19, 2022 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Neo-Soul, Pop, Bedroom Rating: 4 out of 5 “A soulful track with Pop sensibilities that has hints of Amy Winehouse and a stronger connection to Elle King or ZZ Ward, ‘Happy For You’ is a tongue in cheek track about wishing the best for an ex. The musical equivalent of the South’s Bless Your Heart when someone does or says something stupid the track is biting in a wry way, and the video is a fun watch with the vintage clips setting up the emotion of the track quite well. ” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
