Anna Thoresen has never shied away from emotional honesty, and her new single “VOODOO DOLL” pushes that instinct further than ever. The New Jersey born and LA based artist returns with a track that blends glossy pop hooks with the grit of rock and the warmth of R&B, creating a sound that feels hypnotic from the moment it begins.
For Anna, “VOODOO DOLL” came from a very real place. The first spark of the song arrived during a visit home, where the chorus and harmonies surfaced in her childhood bedroom. Instead of ignoring the idea, she followed the feeling and shaped it into a song that confronts the weight of being mistreated by someone you love.
Back in her LA home studio, the track evolved into a release of tension and a declaration of self-worth. The message is direct: feeling hurt is human, but reclaiming that power is transformative.
Anna explains:
“VOODOO DOLL is about being exhausted by mistreatment and finally wanting your partner to feel the same hurt they put you through. Writing it was an incredible emotional release for me, and I hope listeners find that same sense of catharsis in it.”
The single radiates with that mix of frustration and liberation. Anna’s vocal performance is intimate yet fierce, guiding the listener through the emotional shift from vulnerability to strength. As the production swells, the song captures the moment someone decides they are finished absorbing the weight of someone else’s actions.
“VOODOO DOLL” invites listeners not only into Anna’s feelings but into the turning point where pain becomes clarity. It is immersive, honest and charged with the kind of energy that stays with you long after the final chorus fades.
