Acclaimed actress, musician, and creative powerhouse Jena Malonehas returned with the release of her new single + visualizer, “Create In Your Name.” Set against a moody, experimental soundscape, the dusky track reflects on a longing for a transcendent connection by cutting through the distractions, illusions, and complexities of today’s hyper-digital world.
Malone explains, “‘Create In Your Name’ is about yearning to find something more divine in love and dating, despite the digital swampland we are all wading through. Literally wanting to not just date and make love, but to create in someone’s name… inspiration as the ultimate form of foreplay.”
