Avgusta Turns the Tables with “Right Now”

Emerging artist Avgusta is making waves with her debut single Right Now and its accompanying music video. The 21-year-old singer-songwriter delivers a track brimming with confidence and bite. Layered vocals, rap-like cadences, and a pulsing beat make it a party-ready anthem, but beneath its glittering surface lies a deeply personal declaration of resilience.

“I’ve had so many people in my life who have wronged me, humiliated me, bullied me, and betrayed me,” Avgusta explains. “Then there are the others who stop responding, act like I’m bothering them, and pretend not to like me around others who didn’t. So I step back and let them be. The funny thing is, both types of people have one thing in common… The moment they hear or see I’m starting to succeed, or miss the love and care I provided for them, or they just realised they chose the wrong person over me, my phone suddenly starts blowing up with their messages and calls.”

That defiance and self-possession are baked into the DNA of Right Now. It is not a track meant to mope over betrayal but to flip the narrative entirely, fueled by the same audacity that shaped the pop giants of the 2000s.

Pop with teeth

At its core, Right Now thrives on its dynamics. The opening vocal riffs tease Avgusta’s control before the song explodes into a bold performance. The verses slip into a rhythmic, almost rap-like delivery, while the chorus soars with a great vocal range on display. “I do enjoy making vocally challenging songs as well as songs with different vocal ranges,” she says. “However, on this track, I just freestyle whatever comes into my mind.”

The result is a song that feels both instinctual and intentional. “When writing this song, I was focusing on getting the 2000s pop motif. Something people can dance to. I feel like nowadays there is a lot of monotone music, and I feel like the world could use some dancing.”

Beyond boxes

While Right Now firmly plants itself in pop territory, Avgusta is clear about her broader ambitions. “People who like the 2000s pop motif, the dance disco music, they can enjoy Right Now. But I don’t want to shove my passion in a metal cage. Audiences with all music tastes can follow me.” A music video for the single has also been released, bringing another layer to the track’s narrative.

A hard-earned freedom

After navigating challenging experiences in the music industry, Avgusta chose to take control of her artistry. “It feels great, honestly. It feels as if I have finally, after all these years, started moving forward. I believe others can use this as a lesson to never give up.” Avgusta remains open to working with a manager who shares her creative vision and can help advance her career.

That self-determination shapes every element of this release. Avgusta not only wrote Right Now herself but also put it out under her own management.

For the fans, with the fans

At the heart of Avgusta’s story are her listeners. She is not interested in a one-way exchange of music; she wants a dialogue. “I want them to know that I want to do this with them. I want them to give me their full and honest opinions, I want them to be open with me, to share their thoughts and feelings. I have so many songs in all genres, let me know which one you want, I’ll give it to you with happiness.”

That authenticity has already resonated with her growing fanbase. “I have received a lot of support, a lot of love. I see them posting to it and reposting it. I really feel the appreciation they give me, and I want them to know I appreciate them so much more than they can imagine.”

For Avgusta, this chapter is about more than chasing chart positions or algorithms – it is about connection. “I want my fans to view me as a role model. The me that I am now. I communicate with my fan pages on social media; they are amazing. The sweetest sweethearts. I want them to ask me for advice, and I will do open Q&A’s, whether on a stream or in person. I love my fans.”

The pulse of Right Now

Right Now bridges the personal and the universal. On one hand, it is a baddie anthem; on the other hand, it is Avgusta’s reclamation of power after years of being underestimated, manipulated, or dismissed.

Avgusta reflects on her journey: “That I have had the opportunity to look at the industry through real eyes and not pink coloured sunglasses. I see the competitiveness in this industry, the mistakes that some make. I realised the responsibility that comes with fame. I am now ready to be a good role model for my fans and supporters.“
