Out now and available while supplies last! We are thrilled to introduce Ava in Africa, a fresh new voice emerging from Cape Town, South Africa, with her debut track, “The Other Side.” This mesmerizing track is the title piece from her upcoming album, and it’s already making waves across the Gala Music platform.
About “The Other Side”
“The Other Side” is a synth-heavy, ethereal journey that invites listeners to explore the boundary between life and death through music. Inspired by extensive research into Near Death Experiences (NDEs), Ava in Africa has crafted a soundscape that both comforts and uplifts, turning a traditionally morbid topic into a healing experience. The track and album aim to bring solace to those dealing with loss, showcasing Ava’s unique ability to transform pain into beauty. For the ultimate experience, we recommend listening with headphones to fully immerse yourself in Ava’s hauntingly beautiful melodies.
Ava in Africa is a storyteller who uses her music to explore deep spiritual themes and connect with her listeners on a profound level. Drawing inspiration from her life in Cape Town, Ava’s sound is reminiscent of artists like Imogen Heap, blending synth, beach vibes and exquisite guitar riffs with angelic vocals. Her music is a tapestry of serious topics and uplifting messages, creating a serene yet powerful listening experience that encourages introspection, relaxation and inspiration.
“The Other Side” is available now as a reward enabled NFT on Gala Music, but only while supplies last! Each of the 100 instances of this track will qualify the owner for daily $MUSIC rewards. Owning NFT tracks allows fans of our emerging artists to share in their success, with daily rewards determined by platform plays and popularity.
