US pop musician Dora Jar has shared her latest single, ‘Spell’. The new track arrives a few weeks after Dora Jar – real name Dora Jarkowski – wrapped up her debut visit to Australia, supporting Billie Eilish and playing a couple of club headline shows.
Jar’s latest single showcases a sweeping, heartfelt approach. The almost haunting track centres on themes of change and evolution, before reaching an intense crescendo. ‘Spell’ also puts the spotlight on Dora Jar’s intimate vocal capacity.

In a statement released alongside the single, the artist explained that ‘Spell’ was written “in [honour] of autumn and all the complex emotions I feel in the season of change.” She added, “My leaves are falling off, I am bare and my branches reach out to you. My skin is bark I need to drink water.”
‘Spell’ caps off a prolific year for Jarkowski, who released her second EP, Comfortably In Pain, in early March. Since then, she has unveiled two further singles, July’s ‘Bumblebee’ and September’s ‘Bump’, while touring the world with Eilish.
