‘Mary Jane’ reveals a striking new chapter in Orion’s personal life and creative journey, one that is housed within the dynamic walls of Orion. Sonically, the track showcases the evolution of Orion’s ethereal, boundless sound front and centre, resulting in her best work to date. Enveloped through a strong connection to nature that runs deep throughout the album, ‘Mary Jane’ begins to tell a journey of love and incredible hardship and joy that it can bring. Through an earnest exploration and surrender to love, she brilliantly soundtracks a spellbinding coming of age story. Here we see Orion like we’ve never seen or heard her before.

Speaking on the single, Orion Sun shares, “This song is about coping and facing fear head on. I lean hard on my vices when it feels like the world it’s falling from the sky. It helps you escape for a while, but no matter where you go, you can’t run from yourself. I had to face my fears eventually, and I’m glad I did.”


WATCH: ‘Mary Jane’

Orion has impressively achieved extraordinary feats rarely seen amongst the realm of independent artists. She consistently clocks in over 5 million monthly streams on Spotify alone out of an album cycle, managing to soar to meteoric heights during the pandemic, a time that proved difficult for many artists. Additionally, the young artist’s star has continued to rise as she opened for Daniel Caesar’s Superpowers World Tour in 2023 and she recently earned a staggering writing credit on Bryson Tiller’s explosive track ‘Whatever She Wants’ that sampled her song ‘Intro’ from her breakout Getaway EP. Earlier this year, Orion was also featured artist on the track ‘ItsNotREEAALLLLLLLL’ on Fred again..’s new critically acclaimed album USB alongside some music’s most beloved artists such as Baby Keem, Lil Yachty, Four Tet, Future, Nia Archives, Romy, Skrillex and others.

In addition, Orion announces that her new North American The Rising Sun Tour is set to kick off this October, seeing Orion bring to life the electrifying nature of Orion for the very first time. Her close friends and rising act Cruza will be opening on the entire trek. Ticket information is available HERE.
