AVARA, a 20-year-old prodigy, is carving her name into pop’s evolving landscape with her sophomore single ‘don’t you wait’, released on May 31, 2025. Following her breakout debut ‘lose my mind’, which racked up over 340,000 Spotify streams and 6 million YouTube views, the self-taught artist has already topped Amazon Music’s Pop Chart, outpacing heavyweights like Lady Gaga. Her recent feature in New York Weekly marks her growing stateside presence, cementing her as a genre-bending force who channels raw emotion into every note.
‘don’t you wait’ is a vibrant collision of pop, Afrobeats, and jazz, built on warm, pulsing rhythms and seductive saxophone lines. The track’s infectious hooks and AVARA’s dynamic vocal delivery create a summer-ready anthem that’s both intimate and expansive, pulling listeners into a narrative of love and longing that resonates long after the final chord.
Drawing from influences like Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, and Elyanna, AVARA weaves sharp, confessional storytelling with a dreamy sonic palette. The single’s cover art, shot in Amsterdam with vivid orange flowers, mirrors the track’s themes of passion and emotional bloom. With this release, AVARA proves she’s not just riding the wave of her early success—she’s steering pop’s future with bold, authentic artistry.
