Ava Franks Embraces the Chaos of Desire on Whimsical New Single “Good Scar”

Ava Franks is a rising indie-pop artist from New York. She pens grippingly relatable and emotionally vivid narratives on the trials and tribulations of romance in your twenties. Her latest release, “Good Scar”, is about surrendering to the fact that an intense connection might hurt you. Franks gives in to the euphoria of passion, knowing it might leave her with a mark that doesn’t fade.

“Good Scar” is packed with wistful flurries of acoustic guitar, breathless harmonies, and a hook that blossoms at the heart of the track. Franks sings, “I know your defenses by heart / You think you’re quick, but I go far / Let’s play this game with disarmed hearts / If I hurt you and you hurt me, it’s a good scar.” The music video for the track follows Franks as she galavants through New York City and pins her lyrics up on street corners. “Good Scar” embraces the chaos that comes with giving in to our desires.

Revealing more on her track, Franks confides, “You know that, down the road, this person might break your heart, but that doesn’t even faze you. You just want everything with them, the good and the bad.”

Ava Franks has worked with multi-platinum producers/writers Shep Goodman and Aaron Accetta. “Good Scar” is her eighth single. She continues to up the momentum and solidify her place as a groundbreaking new voice in indie-pop.
