Gina Venier
“Nora Jane”
Gina Venier‘s stellar new track “Nora Jane” tells the relatable tale of the nervousness and worry that can bubble up when introducing your signficant other to loved ones for the first time. But for Venier, who happens to be queer, the honest and heartfelt song is especially personal.
With “Nora Jane,” Venier looks back on her own experience of coming out and the questions that flooded her mind before that pivotal moment when family members were introduced to her girlfriend for the first time. It’s hard not to feel a little teary when Venier finds that weight lifted, proclaiming “my dad wasn’t so tough when I brought you home, mom gave me a hug when I told her you’re the one I love.” — Lorie Liebig
