Dora Jar Releases New Song “Ragdoll”
American singer-songwriter Dora Jar will release her upcoming debut album “No Way To Relax When You Are On Fire” on September 13, 2024 via Island Records.
Dora Jar said of the album, “I started writing these songs 2 years ago after opening for one of my favorite artists in the world Billie (a life changing and overwhelming dive into the deep end). There were times in the writing process where I crumpled in the confusion of imposter syndrome. I was trying to make sense of what felt like a lucky break. But I used the freedom and time to face my deepest fears, my shadow self, and get closer to the truth of who I am { ever changing }. This album is a stained glass window, it is the creepy raven on your windowsill waiting for you to make eye contact and then when you do you realize it is very cute, it is the burn of regret from a cigarette, it is a falling petal at the mercy of the wind, it is my childhood fear of the devil, it is my adult eye roll to my fear.”- From the album, she unveiled the fourth single called “Ragdoll” on August 16, 2024.
The track was written by Cole Carmody, Dora Jar and Henry Kwapis. Produced by Dora Jar, Henry Kwapis, Ralph Castelli, and Jack Karaszewski.
Dora Jar said of the song, “'Ragdoll' is about me feeling sometimes powerless in my own life. And also finding the power in going with the flow. If I don't have control let me just swing around and decide I'm ok with this.” -
She continued, “It also plays with an oxymoron at one point. 'You can let me fall, heavy little ragdoll.' A ragdoll wouldn't be heavy, but I feel that way, these opposing contradictions. I did Ketamine therapy with my mom, and it made me feel like a wooden balloon. It brought up all these contradictions within me. I'm shy and outgoing. I'm light and I'm heavy.”
