Reina Mora, an LA-based Puerto Rican singer-songwriter, performer, and activist, continues to captivate audiences with her versatile musical prowess. Seamlessly weaving through genres such as Rock, Pop, Folk, Latin, and even Country, Reina’s talent knows no bounds. Her musical journey began long before she could speak, mentored by her grandfather, a Puerto Rican Bolero, who nurtured her burgeoning talent during her formative years.
Renowned as a go-to collaborator for other artists, Reina thrives in the creative process of bringing stories to life through music. She finds immense joy in collaborating with like-minded creatives, building a profound trust and intimacy, and helping others find their unwritten stories. Her collaborative spirit is evident in her extensive body of work, both as a songwriter for others and as a performer of her own music.
Reina’s musical journey is dotted with notable highlights, including her NPR-featured single “Trouble” and her achievements with her Folk Duo, Willow Crest. Their single “Folktale” won SiriusXM’s most haunting song of 2021, a testament to their unique and evocative sound. Beyond her music, Reina is deeply committed to advocacy, volunteering her time to organizations like WriteGirl and SONA. Her involvement over the past several years reflects her passion for giving back and being part of something larger than herself.
Her latest single, “Weeds,” is a deeply personal and evocative piece. Released on June 20th, a date chosen in honor of her late mother’s birthday, “Weeds” delves into themes of heartache, resilience, and hope. Written during a painful divorce, the song captures the raw emotions of giving one’s all and feeling left with nothing. Yet, it also conveys a message of triumph and self-reclamation.
Produced by Dylan Emmet, “Weeds” features ethereal sounds and powerful vocals, creating a hauntingly beautiful anthem for the summer. The chorus melody, combined with Reina’s poetic lyrics, makes it a memorable and relatable track. In verse two, she beautifully encapsulates her journey through pain to strength with the lyrics, “Made it through the night brutal storms passed. Milk and honey found the promised land. Blooming wildflowers never seeing you again.” These lines symbolize her recovery and growth, showcasing her ability to transform adversity into a powerful narrative of hope.
This release marks another significant chapter in Reina Mora’s evolving career, highlighting her resilience, artistic depth, and unwavering commitment to her craft. Her ability to channel personal experiences into universally resonant music continues to inspire and connect with listeners, solidifying her place as a compelling voice in the music industry.
