Ava Della Pietra has never been one to shy away from reinvention. The singer-songwriter and Broadway alumna has spent the last few years carving out a space in the pop world with her introspective lyricism and lush melodies. But with her latest single, “Marionette,” Ava steps into a new creative dimension—one that is darker, eerier, and unafraid to explore the haunting corners of control and manipulation.
Out today alongside an exquisitely stylized black-and-white music video, “Marionette” is Ava’s boldest release yet. The song’s lyrics unfold like a whispered confessional, detailing the suffocating grip of a toxic relationship, while its orchestral flourishes and ghostly harmonies elevate the track into something almost theatrical. It’s a song that doesn’t just tell a story—it lives in it.
The music video, shot in shadowy monochrome, cements Ava’s ability to blend sound and visuals into an all-encompassing experience. Inspired by vintage cabaret, vaudeville performances, and eerie carnival aesthetics, the video sees Ava tangled in a web of strings, an unwilling puppet struggling against unseen forces. With dramatic choreography and gothic-inspired costuming, the visuals echo the song’s themes of manipulation and self-liberation in a way that lingers long after the last note fades.
This haunting single follows her unexpected holiday hit “Reindeer Rebellion,” which redefined seasonal pop with an unconventional edge. As Ava’s creative evolution continues, it’s clear she’s not interested in staying in one lane. Whether it’s the delicate vulnerability of ego, the rebellious charm of “Reindeer Rebellion,” or the theatrical depth of “Marionette,” each song reveals another layer of an artist who refuses to be boxed in.
Fans eager to see Ava bring her music to life can catch her at upcoming performances, where she’ll be unveiling more tracks from her highly anticipated album. With over 26 million global streams and a steadily growing fanbase, Ava Della Pietra is proving that she’s not just a promising young artist—she’s a force in the making.
