Reina Mora’s “WEEDS” (Elated Remix) is a luminous reimagining of a deeply personal track, blending her poignant storytelling with the electrifying energy of EDM. Los Angeles-based Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Reina Mora is celebrated for her versatility, navigating genres such as rock, pop, folk, Latin, and country with ease. Her musical journey began in her grandfather's shadow, a Puerto Rican bolero singer who nurtured her budding talent. Over time, Reina has grown into a multi-faceted artist, penning songs for others and performing her own, including her NPR-featured single “Trouble” and haunting folk duo Willow Crest’s award-winning track, “Folktale.” Her advocacy work with WriteGirl and SONA adds depth to her artistic identity, making her not only a storyteller but a changemaker.
“WEEDS” is rooted in heartbreak, written during the turmoil of Reina’s divorce, yet it is a testament to resilience. Released on June 20th, her late mother’s birthday, it carries layers of meaning, honoring a parent’s unwavering belief in her dreams while navigating personal adversity. The original track, produced by Dylan Emmet, is a delicate balance of ethereal soundscapes and Reina’s raw, emotive vocals. Its vivid lyricism, such as “Blooming wildflowers never seeing you again,” captures the complex emotions of loss and recovery. The song is not just a lament but an ode to survival and rebirth, resonating as an anthem for those mending their hearts.
Enter Elated, the EDM producer who elevates “WEEDS” to a danceable yet equally evocative realm. The remix infuses the track with vibrant synths and pulsating beats, amplifying its emotional peaks while maintaining its poignant core. Reina’s powerful vocals remain front and center, soaring above the dynamic instrumentation to create a transcendent listening experience. The remix transforms the song into a cathartic release, inviting listeners to move to its rhythm while reflecting on their own journeys of pain and healing.
The collaboration between Reina Mora and Elated highlights the universality of her music. Whether through the introspective calm of the original or the kinetic energy of the remix, “WEEDS” speaks to the resilience of the human spirit. Reina’s ability to translate deeply personal experiences into relatable art makes her a force to be reckoned with, and the Elated Remix solidifies the track as a standout in both Reina’s discography and the EDM world. With its rich emotional depth and invigorating sound, “WEEDS” (Elated Remix) is a song for celebration of growth, survival, and triumph.
