Logline: “Avant Garde” dives into the complex emotions of a love that thrives more in fantasy than in reality. Vega explains, “This song was created about a girl in which I preferred the fantasy of our perfect situation rather than her getting too close and exposing the cracks of what an actual romantic relationship could bring. It’s my escape from reality.”
