Reina Mora's 'Weeds': A Haunting Anthem of Heartache and Resilience
L.A-based Puerto Rican artist Reina Mora released her latest single “Weeds” on June 20th which is actually her late mom’s birthday. The song is really powerful as it explores heartache, resilience, and personal growth. It’s not that the song is about her mom, but more about the support and belief her mom always had in her dreams. Choosing that date to release it just shows how connected her music is to her life experiences.
When Reina wrote "Weeds", she was going through a really difficult time—a rough and painful divorce that left her feeling completely shattered. But instead of just focusing on the pain, she turned it into something beautiful. As a result, creation was an answer for her. She crafted a song which deals with loss, but also helps you find strength in being vulnerable. The lyrics are poetic and give you a sense of what she was going through. The hook has this melody that is hard to forget, it sticks with you, kind of like how heartache does.
“Weeds” was produced by Dylan Emmet and this song mixes dreamy sounds with Reina's deep vocals. Her voice has this raw quality that really anchors the song, but she also has this versatility as she can also hit those higher notes making the chorus even stronger. The way the song changes from the more grounded verses to the more airy chorus really reflects what she's gone through when it comes to her emotions. She went from feeling lost and hurt to finding hope and taking back her power. This song is a real description of that in terms of lyrics, sound and structure of the song itself.
