    Deftly executed and ideal for repeat listens, Diamonds & Dancefloors makes it two-for-two for Max's catalog, delivering on the promise of her debut and pushing her even further toward the top of the early-2020s pop pantheon.

    A solid enough collection of songs, each with a tight synthpop beat and strong vocal performance, but it isn’t necessarily a career-maker.

    For those who appreciate a particular branch of dance-pop, Diamonds & Dancefloors is a euphoric escape from the harsh realities of adult life.

    [The lyrics] can also be so formulaic that you’ll almost wonder whether you’re listening to M3GAN. ... But at the same time, it’s hard to shake the suspicion that Max has fully understood the assignment. ‘Diamonds & Dancefloors’ lives up to its escapist title with a non-stop onslaught of sharp and shiny pop hooks.

    Um dos melhores álbuns pop dos últimos anos. Um projeto cheio de sintetizadores, letras e batidas que combinam com a voz e estilo dance de Ava Max.

This body of work showcases my growth as a singer and songwriter, and I am thrilled with how it has turned out.

    From the title track to "Dancing's Done" and "Ghost", each song is a reflection of my personality and the message I want to convey to my fans. The mix of empowering pop anthems and dance floor bangers with emotional moments in between, showcasing my versatility as an artist and my ability to blend different genres seamlessly.

    I poured my heart and soul into this album, and I believe it is a true representation of who I am and what I stand for. The lyrics are personal and honest, and I hope that they resonate with my listeners and inspire them to chase their dreams.
