Golden Globe nominated actress, two-time Screen Actors Guild Award nominee, and acclaimed alt-pop visionary Jena Malone returns with her newest release, “Create In Your Name,” an intoxicating single paired with a raw visualizer shot and edited by collaborator Elias Tahan. The track marks another compelling step in Malone’s evolution as a songwriter, one who pairs emotional excavation with an experimental pop sensibility that feels both intimate and cinematic.
With “Create In Your Name,” Malone explores the deeply relatable longing for a love that transcends surface connection. In a world where modern romance often unfolds in the “digital swampland” of dating apps and fleeting interactions, she instead reaches for something divine, an affection powerful enough to spark creation itself. Malone distills this yearning into lyrics that are both vulnerable and bold, singing, “I want to make love to your DNA / I just want to create in your name now,” a line that frames inspiration as the ultimate form of desire. It’s a refreshing take on romance, less about escapism and more about finding a muse capable of shifting one’s entire internal landscape.
Musically, “Create In Your Name” is a dark-pop gem. Slow-burning bass pulses lay the foundation for Malone’s hypnotic vocal, which glides between whispered seduction and confessional warmth. Shadowy synths swirl around her, creating a brooding, sexy atmosphere that feels tailor-made for late-night introspection. There’s a cinematic tension to the production, an undercurrent of danger and devotion, that amplifies the emotional stakes of her lyrics.
By the final notes, Jena Malone has crafted something that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant: a meditation on intimacy, inspiration, and the longing to be moved—truly moved—by another person. “Create In Your Name” isn’t just a song about love; it’s a testament to what happens when connection becomes creation. It’s sultry, thoughtful, and unmistakably Jena Malone.
