Ava Max

Following years of buildup and a whopping eight singles, Ava Max finally delivered her first official studio full-length, Heaven & Hell. Well worth the extended promotion, the album is a masterful pop debut, one of those might-as-well-be-a greatest-hits collections like Lady Gaga's The Fame, Dua Lipa's self-titled LP, or Katy Perry's One of the Boys. Indeed, Max is a kindred spirit with those hitmakers, both in vocal delivery and her knack for picking out an effective earworm, of which there is an embarrassing abundance on Heaven & Hell. Thematically divided into those two titular sides, the album takes that well-worn dichotomy and splits the track list between energetic bops and moodier – but no less catchy – doses of dark pop, all bound together by primary producer Cirkut (Marina, Katy Perry, Kim Petras).

Ava Max has officially entered her most fearless era yet, one defined by brutal honesty, resilience, and unmatched pop. From heartbreak survivor to self-love icon, she’s not just back, she’s bolder than ever with her third full-length album, Don’t Click Play. In this body of work, you can hear a woman embracing her power and stepping into the artist she was always meant to be. It’s not just an album, it’s a declaration. The project was built during a time of heartbreak, betrayal, and personal reinvention, and it shows. She returned to the studio not to escape the pain, but to face it head-on. Ava says, “But this entire album was made to prove people wrong.” With Don’t Click Play, she doesn’t just push back the narrative—she kicks the door down. It’s raw, it’s personal, it’s the Ava everyone wants. She’s taking it to the max.

Global pop sensation Ava Max releases her highly-anticipated debut album Heaven and Hell. The record features eight new tracks alongside her previously released hit singles Sweet But Psycho, Who’s Laughing Now, So Am I, Salt and Kings and Queens. Heaven and Hell represents light and dark, good and evil, and the devil and angel on your shoulder,” said Ava on the meaning behind the album. “I’m discussing the dualities of the challenges we face each day. Some songs have darkness; other songs are more positive. Heaven and Hell is the middle ground.
