Indie pop artist Ava Maybee is set to captivate listeners once again with her latest single, “Limerence,” scheduled for release on June 9th.

With the help of Jon Buscema’s expert production skills, “Limerence” takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride of emotions within a complicated relationship. But what it is really intended for is introspection, acknowledgment, and hope for self-improvement.

To Ava, this song is increasingly valuable due to the sheer amount of relativity. Ava muses in the lyrics co-written by Ava, Jason Harris, and Jon Buscema, “Maybe it’s love/Maybe it’s limerence/Maybe I’m too dumb to know the difference,” laying bare the confusion that often arises in matters of the heart. With her confusion, she shows her level of self-awareness.

Ava’s husky yet tender vocals beautifully convey the emotional nuances of the lyrics, inviting us to immerse ourselves in her introspective world. However, just when you least expect it, the song takes an exhilarating turn, transforming into an energetic piece fueled by atmospheric elements and electrifying guitar melodies. This juxtaposition between the serene and explosive creates a dynamic listening experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The song having touched her most vulnerable side, Ava can finally own up to her own deeds through this raw and acoustic rendition, turning more violent and immersive by the turn with Ava’s upfront vocals.

Now, listen to “Limerance” by Ava Maybee to delve into the depths of humans complex intricacies that can shatter whole relationships.
