Los Angeles-based rising star Lorensa isn’t holding back in her latest release, “Shoot u,” an anthem of soul-baring encapsulated in rich Pop-R&B textures. Paired with a luscious video, the song plunges directly into the ugly, messy, unfiltered truth of heartbreak, self-examination, and eventual metamorphosis.
“Shoot u,” produced by Kasey Philips and mixed by Teezio, doesn’t just play, it hits. Each note is peeled back like a personal confession as Lorensa’s textured, passionate vocals lead you through complicated feelings of lost love. Warm harmonies flit through the production, as theatrical bursts of color punctuate the song’s darker themes, akin to lightning flashing across a stormy sky.
The music video is also an immersive experience. Filmed with an acute sense of narrative, it is a swirl-turned-moving picture, amplifying the song’s uproarious energy and creating a visual odyssey of conflict, bravery, and release. There’s a cinematic quality to Lorensa’s vulnerable and fierce presence that matches the song’s emotional swing.
“Shoot u” holds a mirror up to listeners and demands they face emotionally the wounds they’ve long carried and the truths they’ve long skirted. This makes Lorensa’s artistry so captivating as creating music but moments that reverberate. With “Shoot u,” Lorensa fearlessly carves out her place in the ever-expanding Pop and R&B terrain.
