Reina Mora Pours Heartache and Hope Into Her New Remix Of Single “Weeds”
Indie artist Reina Mora has offered us a little surprise to end this year. Her latest single ‘Weeds’ is about the struggle of giving everything to someone and feeling completely drained, but it also has this underlying message of hope and strength. She wrote it while going through a painful divorce. The original version of the track was released on June 20th—her late mom’s birthday—not because the song is about her mom, but because her mom believed in her dreams and in her artistry so much. Six years after her mother’s passing, the release of “Weeds” feels like a powerful tribute to love, loss, and pushing through.
‘Weeds’ gained a lot of traction after its original release. This success caught the attention of EDM producer Elated who picked it up and made a remix that dropped on November 19th. Where the original version is more intimate, the remix takes it to another level with these pulsing synths and electrifying drops over Reina’s touching lyrics. The song’s whole vibe shifts to something more triumphant while still keeping the emotion of the lyrics. The remix feels fresh and uplifting but still holds onto the heart of the original.
Reina Mora doesn’t just stick to one genre. She’s based in LA, but her Puerto Rican roots really shine through in her work, a mix of Rock, Pop, Folk, Latin, and even Country. She’s been singing since before she could even talk, and her grandfather, who was a Bolero singer in Puerto Rico, helped shape her talent when she was growing up. Reina can take these deeply personal experiences, like in “Weeds,” and turn them into something that anyone can connect with. She draws listeners into her world with athenticity and vulnerability.
Beyond her music, Reina Mora is also giving back. She’s a passionate advocate for creativity and community. She’s been a guest mentor with WriteGirl for three years, helping young writers, and she’s been volunteering with SONA (Songwriters of North America) for five years now. She loves being part of something bigger than herself, bringing her joy and purpose. The same resilience and hope you hear in her song “Weeds” shows up in everything she does, whether it’s through her art or the way she inspires others. She’s leaving a meaningful mark, not just as an artist but also as a person.
