“If ever I need some clarity or a quantum leap in my own consciousness, it’s a quick way for me to get it”. These are the words of Alanis Morissette, and she’s speaking about marijuana. For many musicians, the herb has been a source of inspiration and a catalyst for creativity. With this in mind, please welcome Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter and producer Anna Thoresen.
‘MARY JANE’ is Anna’s laidback and soulful new single and yes, you guessed it, it’s a tune about marijuana. The groovy and serene track showcases Thoresen’s dreamy vocals and superb production chops, as she compares the flower to being in a toxic relationship with a love interest.
“Of course, the song is about weed,” says Anna. “But more specifically, it’s about my abusive relationship with the drug”.
A confessional and candid piece of music, ‘MARY JANE’ speaks to the duality of pleasure and pain regarding marijuana. It highlights both the highs and lows, providing listeners with a deeply personal glimpse into the complexities of Thoresen’s journey with the drug.
Inspired by Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, and the aforementioned Alanis Morissette, Anna Thoresen will undoubtedly deliver more thought-provoking and emotionally charged music in the future.
