She needs to go urban-pop and get a new hair style. She should get a jet black bob. Nothing she's done is remotely urban-pop. If she's doing perfectly fine globally with her current sound and identity, why does she all of a sudden needs to change it? Call her a Gaga knockoff, but at least she's consistent and believable as one. Also, I'm tired of people trying to tell artists they need to look a certain way to be successful.

I agree, a big No to Urban-Pop.

Why can’t y’all just be happy with what she’s doing now! Pop music is something she is really good at.

She’s American and wants to catch on in the US, who cares about overseas? Her current sound is too dated for the US market. She has no choice but to go urban or Dua Lipa or continue to flop. She has had some great songs, but no one cares because she comes off too cheesy: radio Disney. Songs like So Am I and Kings and Queens will never succeed in the US market in 2020.

Her situation reminds me of Ariana and Focus. Ariana had to transition from cheesy pop music to urban just to get more traction and even when she tried to release straight up pop hits that were good like Into You they did not do as well as her urban records. Ava and her people need to take notes. The guy who she works with whose name starts with a c know this because he has written many urban hits. I just think Ava think she’s going to ignite this pop renaissance. She’s been trying to get an album out since 2018 so something is amiss here.

I will never understand constantly going into a thread, a tweet, etc. over someone you clearly do not like (but secretly do?) Not a fan of Beyonce for example and like why would I go into a thread of hers? Like, I am a Swiftie and I'm not a fan of folklore, but running into each thread screaming that when a. that really accomplishes nothing if I don't at least have some reasons why etc (add to the discussion) and b. clearly it's loved and I'm the odd one so it's not like it'll matter even discussion wise... ANYWAY, I'm so excited for this album, some of those song titles sound so interesting... Specifically: OMG What's Happening

Specifically: OMG What's Happening No shade but shade, that title sounds like something Bella Thorne would have sang back in 2013 when she made "music". OMG... girl... just no, sounds too immature. Watch it be one of my favorite songs off the album though

Watch it be one of my favorite songs off the album though I think there will be a twist with the song... Kinda like how everyone thought Slut Like You by P!nk was gonna come for "stupid girls" and actually called out men for being sluts!

Yeah a big fat NO to urban pop Ava, that's a sure way to kill her career even if it gave her one more "pop hit" or whatever, and is totally not her. What she's doing right now is actually working for her, I mean she's not exactly Dua Lipa-ing it, but she doesn't have to. She's building her base and her brand and it's really clicking with me. I love the Who's Laughing Now single/EP type thing she put on spotify with 5 of her amazing songs (plus So Am I), hit after hit! I'm actually digging the dark disco pop and electric guitar rock bridges. She's smashing in Eastern Europe too which eats up this type of music, and actually gets a surprising amount of play here in Spain and on the TV music video channel. Excited for her album!

"Kings & Queens Pt. 2 (feat. Lauv & Saweetie)" out now!
Also, the album is set to become the 73rd most streamed female album upon release:

Has one of the most streamed albums ever, and her album hasn't even been released yet

New promotional single "OMG What's Happening" out now!
Another stunning shot that could've been the album cover.😩

Wait so why was "On Somebody" scrapped from the album? That was a certified jam.

No one is discussing OMG What's Happening? It looks like they are doing the weird spotify roll out with the album. Seven of the songs (already released) were "released" yesterday as part of the OMG single. OMG is another pure pop song and it does nothing for me.

They just tucked all her previous singles to the new promotional single to boost her streaming numbers. They did the same when "Who's Laughing Now?" was released and it's an exclusive thing for Spotify.

I love OMG What's Happening too! She's been releasing some straight up pop JAMS.

Why is "So Am I" part of the Hell segment? What's hellish about it? And I'm dying at them creating a Purgatory category just for "Torn." 💀
Also them scraping "On Somebody" but keeping "So Am I" 🤡

Seems like the Hell side has more songs about expressing your flaws and being vulnerable, while the Heaven side is more empowermental. Lol with that purgatory side with Torn, im happy though. It'd be a crime if it missed the album

The tracklist, since no one's posted it yet (I think?). I don't mind the "purgatory" interlude situation because it makes it so that each side has 7 songs. We love a pop girlie that keeps her hair asymmetrical but thank gawd the tracklist is evened out lol. http://instagram.com/p/CErm3zHFahq

I'm really rooting for Ava Max, and hopefully "Kings & Queens" will have a respectable success in the American market.
It's a crying shame "Freaking Me Out", "Blood, Sweat & Tears", and especially the incredible "On Somebody" got paid dust, though. Especially since BS&T seems tailor-made for the 'Hell' side of the album.

If Pop radio would give all artists a decent chance and actually play pure POP and not Urban Pop, she would be doing fine.

'Salt' deserved to be huge.
I'm kinda keen for this album, I'll be checking it out.
