    When I show people Ren, they always seem to want to compare him to the best in that particular genre, which is already a compliment… but it’s the versatility that’s amazing. Take those bests and throw them into different situations. Like imagine Kanye trying to do this. Or one of the best guitarists trying to do Genesis. Impossible.

      So true. I fell in a brief trap of thinking of Ren as a rapper... it only lasted a couple of days and the whole time all I could hear in the back of my mind challenging "rapper" was that his rapping is an instrument. He's either singing when rapping, or he's using rap like a drummer (a drummer using jazz techniques, but doesn't play jazz)

    • @allisonal
      @allisonal 9 місяців тому +25

      Yes yesss. I’m fairly sure genres were only so tightly defined and enforced in the past because streamlining them made music business & promotion more convenient for the labels, radio stations, etc. But it’s entirely unsurprising that a natural musician/performer with varied interests and influences would visit all of them within his body of work. And the synergy between the influences takes him to a different (and arguably, new) level. See: bringing musicality into rapping, and dropping a casual little rap section into a crooning performance 🥬

    Rens comment section in a nutshell:
    "Ren, I hate fangirling, but as a 9,000 year old demi god your music is what keeps me young, it makes me relive my golden days, seriously, I mean it, everytime I feel like I'm getting old, and want to relive my good old 2,000s, I listen to your music, it always puts a smile on my face, I lost hope in all forms of music and artists long ago but when King Henry VIII introduced me to your music I was relieved to see that there's at least one artist left who makes actual good music. Thank you, Ren."
    I've stated quite a few times this comment was not meant to offend anyone, I just saw a pattern in comment sections (no offense to anyone who leaves these comments, they are nice) so I decided to make a joke around it, sorry.

I felt reggae, Dean Martin crooning, early hip hop, SOUL/ R&B/Soul Train, the Police, and the Police singing a lullabye. Your music is a gift and it’s everything, @REN.

    I already have everything from Ren and The Big Push that Spotify has, all on one big playlist that I have going almost constantly on repeat, all night every night, when I'm driving, I'm obsessed with the variety and talent and just omg I love anything with Ren to be honest.
    Not one single song of his that I don't LOVE. So, I would dearly love to have this one on my Spotify. PLEASE?!
    I'd like to buy a double album on CD of all Ren and The Big Push to keep. I have no idea how to buy and keep digital music safe - but I know how to play Spotify and CD... I need more of this, those harmonies, those voices, that timing, that delivery, that style, that arrangement, that production.

He is connected to an awareness and understanding of the universal accountability to human dignity we all have, through the balancing of our humanity which expresses the virtues that leads to natural wisdom, grace and joy. He also understands that lack of balance leads to the expression of vice that leads to ignorance, chaos, and suffering!

      3 of his best friends committed suicide while Ren clawed his way back to life after laying in a bed for 1 year staring at the wall. Gene therapy and iron will brought him back to the land of the living. He is out of this world musician i have not encountered before. Such a privilege to click on a button and hear music like this. The demons this man fought, my mind can't comprehend. But as he said recently, i still have brain damage so i need to take it easy one day at the time.

    I am yet another grownup (65 years) being happy, being able to be excited over music again. Ren is a true genius. He is only about 30. He has been seriously ill for more than half of that time. But still he is as good or even better and talented as many of the seasoned musicians. His lyrics are outer- and/or otherworldly and his videos are truely mesmerrising. All in all Ren is just pure magic, true Art on a totaly new level. I am for the first time since a very long time truely exited.

      I know he snores. Not always, but often.
      I feel that in many ways The Ren Snore concept album would change music as we know it, opening whole new understanding of natural rhythm and sounds (at least to most English speakers)
      Best way to keep ahead of AI music, is to embrace all our perfect human "imperfections" - the more I laugh at this idea the more it makes sense. Nothing more vulnerable and human than our snores😅😂❤ @@sheryljones589

    I absolutely love how Ren makes each and every artist here have their shinning moment feel just as big and special a part of the songs as REN’s himself is. Like you can just see the joy and happiness on his face when the other artists take over to do a small bit in the song ….. I love that. Ren you are the sweetest and most special guy around !

      Jimmy had a really weird time line. He sold nuclear secrets way before he moved imports and exports out of Cuba, which just seemed like a little bit of a downgrade. Then decided to be a drug dealer for some bizarre reason. He just kept going backwards so it makes sense that he just gravitated to singer / songwriter after the gun misfired in the rain. Let's hope he has gotten therapy for the life long issues he had with his father.
