Ava Max’s debut album Heaven and Hell is finally here. The first seven tracks are considered heaven while the eight is purgatory and the last seven tracks are hell.

This album has so many different moods. Some are sad, some are happy, and some are empowering. The message Max is trying to send to her listeners is very clear. Confidence is the most important thing, and don’t let anyone diminish your self-worth.

It’s obvious who Max’s inspiration came from as she draws inspiration from the likes of Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani to name a few. She takes their styles and twists them into her own perfectly, creating a sound very unique to her personality.

My top three from this album are “Born to the Night,” an 80s themed anthem about facing your fears, “Kings & Queens,” the incredible female-empowering song, and last but not least the comforting and relatable “So Am I.”

I really love the whole album but there are a few things that I am not fond of. Though the songs sound really great and have beautiful messages, they are a bit repetitive and they all kind of sound the same. I don’t mind hearing the same message in all of the songs but the production is so similar in all of them that it’s easy to get bored of them very quickly.

I have to congratulate her, however. She created her very personalized piece of art and she put her heart and soul into it. It’s a wonderful album with beautiful messages and fun sounds.
