Shae Brock – Mary Jane (2021)

Shae Brock is bringing a complicated visage to life through the psychedelic rock tones of her single ‘Mary Jane’. Through the music, she dives into who Mary Jane is while entrancing you with her sonic style. Delving into the layered persona of the ‘other woman’, she picks at being a muse and mistress all wrapped into an enigmatic visual.

This single continues the dream rock sound that Brock has become known for. The dreamy soundscapes of her music drew on the natural landscapes of her home state of Arizona and worked deep into the core of her sound. Since moving to Southern California, she draws on the deep connections and intrinsic moments of life that draw a special energy into our souls.



‘Mary Jane’ draws you in with a dark seduction that twirls around your senses with silken threads. The richness of the melody is wonderfully wrapped in a delicate simplicity that swirls into thick sultry tones. You can’t help but feel the velveteen wash of the music stick to your skin and sink into your soul. While rich and seductive, the minimalism of the music weaves through the soundscape to effortlessly pull you in. This also allows Brock’s vocals to shine with their own seductive powers.

When her voice enters, she draws you into a first meeting and impression of Mary Jane. The storytelling flow of the lyrics paints the picture with crystal clarity. As Brock’s voice rides the sultry movements of the music, she fills you with a complicated mixture of emotion. She has you falling under Mary Janes thrall while feeling the pain of playing second best yet knowing that you are what someone wants. This complex emotive hit is sublime as it showcases the depths of Brock’s musicality and emotive powers. The rise and fall of her vocals slink through your brain and leaves you soaking up the power of her performance.

Shea Brock fills you with complicated emotions while falling under the seductive and rich thrall of ‘Mary Jane’.
