Lorensa – the one who leaves (2022)
Born in Israel, singer-songwriter Lorensa began her music project early on performing at various venues in her native land. When she emigrated to the USA in 2016, she further embraced her passion for music bringing out “the real Lorensa” in her sound. From her debut single ‘One Life’ to her latest track ‘the one who leaves’, the talented artist dug into her soul and used her past experience to bring out her introspective reflections. Featured on several playlists and streaming sites, such as Spotify’s “Dance Rising” and “Friday Cratediggers”, Lorensa is reaching an international audience.
Known for her intensely intimate and genuine songs, Lorensa connects with listeners on a more personal level. She shares that she “…gets chills thinking about what I’ve been through to become who I am today. Traumatic experiences that have carved deep into my soul have defined a lot of who I am as a person. These experiences made me stronger and have pushed me to chase my eternal dream of sharing my artistic truth with the world…” – and this is highly evident in her new single ‘the one who leaves’.
Following her acoustic version of ‘Where’s My Sorry’, Lorensa weaves a haunting commercial pop thread through her renowned EDM sound. Soft, soothing and relaxing, she sets you adrift on a sonic river in a charming bubble wrapping you in a comfortable blanket. Interestingly enough, there is a spine-chilling nature to her vocals creating an ethereal haziness in the soundscape. Warm but chilling; soft but slightly discomforting in its arrangement; elegant but a naïve whimsy – these are all signs of Lorensa’s eclecticism and innovation.
As I mentioned, the core of ‘the one who leaves’ is quite gentle and soothing; however, it was born of something disconcerting. Lorensa explains that ‘the one who leaves’ is terrifying because “…never in my life have I released something so brutally honest. Never have I taken such a hard look at myself and confronted my inner demons.” Personally, I think it is important to confront inner demons and self-reflect as this is how we grow, become empowered, and truly accept who we are. Lorensa’s ‘the one who leaves’ embodies this sentiment completely.
