What does it take to make a hit? Obviously, Ava Max is the right person to ask. With her hits ‘Sweet but Psycho’ and ‘Kings & Queens’, the pop star has become an international sensation, particularly in Europe where she is ranked no.1 in some twenty countries, including Switzerland. A beautiful saga for the American with Albanian origins who could not picture herself doing anything else but music. Ava Max is keeping up the momentum with her second album, Diamonds & Dancefloors, filled with potential summer hits with eighties dance pop flavours. After Dua Lipa in 2017 and Rita Ora in 2019, the Montreux Jazz Lab will once again welcome a leading pop star.
