Reina Mora’s latest single ‘Weeds,’ is a somber and heartbreaking addition to her already diverse discography.
‘Weeds’ starts off with a heartbreaking piano-ballad tone, and Mora cuts in with vocals that are beautifully smooth but packed with emotion. The instrumentation later adds guitars and a well-paced bass drum line, and the track remains dynamic enough to maintain interest while keeping that nice slower pace. Lyrically, it does well at telling a narrative of the voice of the song giving their all while not receiving the same back in a relationship by using the poetic device of relating nature to emotions. This is so relatable to anyone who’s been in a similar kind of relationship, but it still finds a way to play with the heartstrings of someone who may not have experienced the same.
Reina Mora is a Puerto Rican singer-songwriter who’s based in L.A. She makes pop music that borrows from a range of genres such as folk, rock, and Latin.
