The artist’s poetic and atmospheric appeal shines through her latest release
Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Reina Mora is an artist who clearly has a penchant for crafting immersive and poignant narratives that stick to you and leave a lasting impression, and her vulnerable writing and haunting melodies ensure that her latest single ‘Weeds’ is a track that delivers on everything that her work promises.
The track was released on her mother’s birthday who passed away 6 years ago, a date that has significance to the artist as she was one of her most staunch believers in her dreams as an artist. ‘Weeds’ does a great job of vindicating that belief, packed full of an atmospheric feel of quiet, understated power, ethereal and haunting in equal measure as the artist battles through a narrative that envelops a painful divorce that has had her left her feeling that she has given everything and subsequently been left with nothing. There is a really stark gravity to this sound and how resonating and relatable it feels, both through the pain of the artist’s words and the eloquency of her delivery and her composure in the face of it all. This is a really moving and compelling listen for a multitude of reasons, and a real showcase of the power and appeal of the artist.
