Ava Claire bares her soul on "Honestly"

Nashville singer-songwriter Ava Claire offers “Honestly,” the centerpiece of her debut EP of the same name. Written entirely by Ava Claire and produced by Eric Arjes, the song is an honest look at love, guilt, and emotional responsibility. 

Ava Claire looks at the hard truth of looking after someone when you know heartbreak might be coming down the line. She acknowledges the complexity of emotions, allowing the song to capture the ambiguity and chaos that often accompany growing up and navigating relationships. The result feels refreshingly human, honest, and grown-up.

Ava Claire has an amazing gift for taking vulnerable thoughts and turning them into engaging music, a song that lingers long after its run time. “Honestly” is a strong opener for an artist who is a thoughtful, promising songwriter because she’s willing to tackle tough emotions.
