Don't forget FatBoy Slim's "Right Here Right Now", i love that one! Ren uses "retake" to describe when he creates his own rap lyrics over the tracks for someone else's existing song -- what some called a "mixtape track" in the US. "Back on 74/Message" is a bit more of a straight cover than he usually does on a retake; though he obviously played the instruments himself and altered the tempo and attitude of both songs to match that soulful style he was going for, and the rap in the middle is all original.
Ren is releasing a new song Thursday, "Halftime" Nas Retake. He has been working hard while still going in to the clinic daily for treatment once he got back to Calgary. This was shot in the UK while he was taking a break for a couple weeks. Ren may just be dropping 2 new albums this year of his own music and some pretty great collabs. Plus these retakes. He did release another retake 2 weeks before this one was released. It's called "Fred Again Mash Up." Fred Again is a famous producer and he just got some prestigious award for his music. I think it's mostly edm music. Anyway, Ren took 5 of Fred Again's songs and created 1 song that he preforms in a live, one shot performance - Just Ren and his electric guitar and his beautiful singing (no rap on this one.) You guys should def check it out! Ren can take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions in 1 song. Also, you would think in order to do a retake of 5 mashed up edm type songs that you would need more then 1 man and an accoustic guitar and a microphone...... Unless it's Ren! I listen to that song every chance I get and it's been out for at least a month now.❤ Thanks for reacting to Ren! 💙
Jungle performs this at the Brit Awards show, with dancers added. There is also the dancers doing a routine to this same song. Search for it, you'll love it. I love Ren harmony with the ladies, we finally get to hear his beautiful voice.
This was my first time hearing Ren I really liked this song and like you guys said it has that smoky blues jazz club vibe I’m going to check out more of his music thank you for introducing me to someone new
Enjoy the ride, you're in for a treat! You won't find anything that sounds exactly like this, because he covers a WIDE array of genres, and this is a new style for him. If you don't mind a few suggestions, other tracks where you can enjoy his soulful singing include "Chalk Outlines live" and "How To Be Me live" (both duets with Chinchilla); "Wade In The Water/Trouble So Hard" and "Englishman In New York" with his former band The Big Push, and "Earned It/Man's World/Falling" performed live on the street with Sam Tompkins. A lot of his more recent stuff is rap-focused because that was the theme of his most recent album Sick Boi, but I'd suggest giving those a trial even if rap isn't usually your thing -- his flavor is really different from anyone else in the modern rap game. "Genesis", "Power" and "Seven Sins" might be good places to start with that.
hello dears!! i love watching you enjoy our man ren!!! this is a groove to be sure, but done better. i can say that, i did the 70s, and this is a step above my 72 yrs of nearly constant musical intake and experience. he sparks my mind, and i need it 🙃 kathleen bts renegade
Silk and honey with a side of soul. The ladies are also Brighton talent. There is just so much abundance there. Did you do the Fred Again mashup by Ren?
Love this and I'm old enough to have been a Mowtown fan back in the seventies Love Rens voice he is an expert on how to use it perfectly for whatever he chooses
Yes and no. While Ren is the main focus and they are backups, what was pointed out is that they were nearly silenced by his higher singing and that's not how backup singers are meant to be used. They should be used as additions to the sound.
This is the first time I have heard anything negative about this song and I have literally watched over 100 reactions to it as it’s currently my favorite retake of his. His voice is perfect for this, he is the lead and the mix between him and the backup singers is spot on, he mixes meticulously. Rens vocal range is insane. He can go way deeper than he did at the end of this and extremely high (check out Ren & Sam Tompkins - Latch and also The Big Push - Swan Song for some highs and the I shot the sheriff mashup and Wade in the water mashup for lows) Also this is Brighton not London. The first part was, like AJ said, by Jungle from last year and the rap part was all Ren with some awesome bars. He sang both covers way better than the original. The Jungle version is too fast I think so Rens slowed down version suits it better and as far as Sting goes, I think he is massively overrated. Ren does reggae style so well and has an amazing cover of “Englishman in New York” with his band The Big Push as well as “I shot the sheriff/ road to Zion/ hiphop” and more. You should check out his “Fred again mashup” which is 5 EDM songs turned into singing with acoustic guitar. And also some of The Big Push. In any case here’s some info and lyrics about this song 🖤 Back on 74/ Message in a bottle Bassist - Kai Lacey Singers - Sylvia Mwenze & Scarlett Fae Cinematography- Sam Perry-Falvey {BACK ON 74} Keep it rockin', doin’ the same thing And we get high on the breakdown And we were watching from the same time But that don't change what I think now.

It's a Bar ( Pub ) in Brighton England. And he does Busking in Brighton as well not London .His Trilogy. Jenny, Screech Violets Tale spoke about London but was Filmed in Brighton.
Jungle's 'Back on 74' is a very cool song, but the dance video surrounding it make it much more famous recently. The rap interlude is pure Ren; he added the underlying melody from Message in a Bottle. Then finally Message in a Bottle by Sting. He sounds so very much like him it is amazing.
Only Ren can start with Smokey Robinson and then end with Sting. That is Bar Valentino on Brighton Beach, UK By the Ogre, they are called backup singers of course Ren brings them forward because they are good.
The song he dropped right before this one was a retake/mashup. This definitely isn’t his first recorded retake! You’ll enjoy the one before this-Fred Again Mashup!!!
Recommend you take some lessons from the likes of Ryker Road and Audio Lunch. Make us want to listen to your interruptions. Might get those subs up to something respectable then.
11k subs is respectable. Let them run their show the way they want. If you have constructive criticisms that's fine, but just disrespecting them is a bad move.

You haven't seen Ren doing re-takes? Dang... Than you absolutely have to get "Losing it - Fisher rap retake" LOL
And bittersweet symphony, too! One of my favs.

Thanks for the suggestions I listened to Chalk outlines and wade in the water and now I’m going to check out his catalog
Enjoy the Ren journey. Good to get in now before he gets really famous. This guy is a treat. So much too listen too and enjoy.💕👍🦇
@@VickieBetts-bk9kcwould love an update Vickie - how far down the glorious ren rabbit hole have you gone? 🥰
Check out him busking with The Big Push and with Sam Tomkins if you like blues & jazz and rock etc
Busking is street singing anywhere. That's literally what the word means
Not London...Brighton!
Lol
"Wax strip groove
Don't stay still
When I make that move"
Nearly every reactor misses that bar. Naughty but nice. 🤣🤣🤣
They do! Dunno if they’re just too “scared” or embarrassed to acknowledge it - it’s a great bar 🤭🤣
@@JoRiceRenegade4Eva It surely is my friend, lol. Just shows how hard you have to dive into his lyrics to get the meaning underneath the words.

Did you do the Fred Again mashup by Ren?
We have not, yet
Love this and I'm old enough to have been a Mowtown fan back in the seventies
Love Rens voice he is an expert on how to use it perfectly for whatever he chooses
indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's meant to sing over them they're backing singers. But they are solo singers with their own videos on youtube. ❤

Back on 74/ Message in a bottle
Bassist - Kai Lacey
Singers - Sylvia Mwenze & Scarlett Fae
Cinematography- Sam Perry-Falvey
{BACK ON 74}
Keep it rockin', doin’ the same thing
And we get high on the breakdown
And we were watching from the same time
But that don't change what I think now.
And we were talking 'bout the same crime
No, we don't hide when it rains now
I learned my lesson at the same time
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh where did it
Go, back on 74
Call this place my home
Never gonna cry anymore
Where did it all go
Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh
Keep it rockin', doin' the same thing
And we get high on the break down
And we were watching from the same time
But that don't change what I think now
And we were talking 'bout the same crime
No, we don't hide when it rains now
I learned my lesson at the same time
Ooh, where did it
Go, back on 74 (when I noticed you)
Call this place my home
Never gonna cry anymore
Where did it all
Go, let it go
Let it go
Ooh, let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Ooh
(Guitar Solo)
Let's take em back to 74 inherently poor/pour
Myself on the (Break down)
Talk is secondary, first my speciality,
Naughty bars on a (Take down)
Rap/wrap like nicotine, sound so addicting,
Click click Zippo flick, caddy daddy hit the green
Soak up dopamine, I mean dope scheme
Take more head than the blade of a guillotine, uh
Filipina - you shoulda seen her
She likes girls but I turned Tina
Angelina wanna raid her tomb
Ocarina with the Zelda moves
Sound so smooth, wax strip groove
Don't stay still when I make that move
Thought for food, colour scheme nude
Massive like jungle, shy but rude
And the world is yours,
That's a Nas shout out with an awkward…pause
Cos the world is flawed
when the power makes money and the money makes wars
And the world is more than a place in space on a spinning ball
But for now that's all, back to 1974
Go, back on 74
Call this place my home
Never gonna cry anymore
Where did it all go
Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh
{MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE}
Just a lonely day, an island lost at sea, oh
Another castaway, nobody here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh
(Let it go)
Sending out an SOS
(Let it go)
Sending out an SOS
(Let it go)
Sending out an SOS
(Let it go)
Sending out an SOS
(Let it go)
Message in a bottle, yeah
(Let it go)
Message in a bottle, yeah

Rizz Ren, Kool Kai, and Beautiful Back ups. 😊😊😊
At least we fans liked it.
Never seen more, still, stoic beards enduring a reaction 😅
The rap in the middle is Ren's own. I lived through the 60/70's music, I'm 70 now, and I have to say Ren does the era much justice here.
Jungle's 'Back on 74' is a very cool song, but the dance video surrounding it make it much more famous recently. The rap interlude is pure Ren; he added the underlying melody from Message in a Bottle. Then finally Message in a Bottle by Sting. He sounds so very much like him it is amazing.

The bass guitarist on this is kujo in kujo beatdown. Kai a friend of Ren's.
Yeah that happened ❤
The song he dropped right before this one was a retake/mashup. This definitely isn’t his first recorded retake! You’ll enjoy the one before this-Fred Again Mashup!!!
❤❤❤❤
great voice great reaction. if you like his verson of the police you should check out Cas Haley cover of walking on the moon.
Ren busks on the streets of Brighton, not London.
To me he sounds very like Brenton Wood in this song (Oogum boogum).
💖💖🔥🇬🇧
this is a live recording ..one take.

Yeah, you're SUPPOSED to hear him over the backup singers.

Ren's too intellectual for your primitive minds, hu?
I understand that...
Have a good day
Dumb pauses I'm out
Thanks for the view and the comment. You've helped the algorithm get us out to more people!
@weaintraisedrightpodcast good luck with that 😆
The back-up singers are too loud, overpowering the lead.
