Singers will often tell you who their inspirations are. For Lorensa, an emerging talent from the Los Angeles music scene, one name tops her list: Venus, the mythological goddess of beauty, victory, and desire. It takes swagger to compare yourself to such a feminine ideal, but Lorensa embodies it, at least sonically, with her dark, rhythmic R&B sound. If Venus had been an actual living, breathing woman, she would have also performed this type of music. In a word, alluring.
Her new single, “Shoot U,” is a seductive experience. The production wraps her voice in black, satin sheets and hypnotic beats, daring you to lose yourself in her embrace. The track sounds so sexy, it’s easy to forget what it’s about. Lorensa describes it as “facing uncomfortable truths… Like looking in a mirror after years of avoiding your reflection, it’s both terrifying and liberating.”

The song plays with metaphors of love and power, tinged with an air of seduction and danger, making it both deeply relatable and enigmatic

As any goddess will tell you, power comes from within. With this new one Lorensa proves she’s a boss and can blend past and present into a sound that’s timeless and current. Don’t miss “Shoot U”. Venus approved.
