Memphis born and currently Los Angeles based artist Babyfangs (aka Ava Wilson) is back with a new single after last month's excellent "Feelings Bleed." "Prima Bella Donna" combines a retro 60's crooner style with the more current sound of alt-pop. The song just feels effortlessly cool. There's also a dark edge to the song, despite how sunny parts of it may feel. Wilson has this captivating quality to her vocals that lie somewhere between modern pop and classic jazz. As soon as her vocals kick in, particularly the verses, you'll be mesmerized instantly. Babyfangs feels like one of those artists destined for megastardom.
Ava Wilson says that her latest single "... subtly delves into queer relationships I had as a young teenager. Using poisonous flowers as metaphors for the toxic relationships I endured during those years.”
