The thing with Ren is that because he doesn't write for commercial success but does it purely from the heart on topics and themes that are deeply personal or reflect subjects that are already difficult to confront like in Jenny's Tale, it becomes impossible to categorise and critique. Contemporary, poetic and hard hitting. I'm so glad he's finally getting the recognition he so deserves.

@suzannegilipost2145 Год назад

For anyone who was not around the first time the Beatles or Bowie hit the scene - this is what it felt like. Ren, like the other genius before him ( and I do not use that word lightly ) will, I pray, always stay grounded and not allow anyone to squander or take advantage of his huge gift. His health must come first and his growing fans hopfully will honor and realize this so that he can share himself with us at his own pace. Like Vincent Van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, Egon Shiele, Amy Winehouse, the list goes on and on .... the audience - which is US, must learn to take care of our artists. They are a gift to humanity, our humanity. May Ren live an long, full, productive and prosperous life, sharing his talent when it suits him and in the way in which it suits him. His coming on the world stage after Covid is part of our global healing - letting us all know how tender life can be.

Honestly, I came across your channel recently and have fallen down a rabbit hole. It's awesome to see a artist respond so genuinely to other artist! Esp as a younger (I guess gen z-er) fan of The Darkness. I wonder your thoughts on Yves Tumor!

@le_th_ Год назад

I thought you were going to be moved to tears there for a moment, which is quite a beautiful thing to see someone so overwhelmed with what they're encountering that they can't articulate the beauty.

@MJCDA3 Год назад

Wow man, this was a fantastic reaction! Thank you for sharing your expertise and candid emotion while reacting to this masterpiece. I didn't known Ren before watching this 3 weeks ago. I now consider myself a fan for life. Having gone through his entire catalog I have not been able to find anything of his that I didn't find absolutely brilliant. He is music 🎵

@takethefreedway Год назад

Are you kidding? People don't need to try so hard to celebrate their oddness, unless as he at least admits, it's all about doing anything to be seen. But if neurosis is the high point of art, then public perception has a long way to go. No surprise there. Take a look at youtube.

@Alphard_adventures 8 месяцев назад

Just we watched this again, having watched it the first time round to see what Justin thought about it. I too was just as mesmerised and compelled to watch and still watch this two or three times a week it is hands down the best music, life videos I have ever seen … can’t wait for what comes next, great to see the success Ren is now having

@Ian.Does.Fitness Год назад

Hi Ren is a masterpiece of performance art. It’s a fusion of singing, acting and musical arrangements with some beautiful cinematography and film directing thrown in. The subject is completely 🔥 and as we all now know, completely from REN’s heart and his own painful struggles in life. Completely gobsmacking. I love Ren and what he does!

@x048262 Год назад

Thank you Justin for turning me onto REN! I’m fixated and fascinated by his musicality and exquisite story telling. At 65 I’ve been around and love music of all sorts, holy shit this guys talented. THANK YOU for showcasing this guy! I pray he has huge success. You’re a good man Justin to share your spotlight.❤️

@kathrynhegedus Год назад

WOW!! Love Spanish guitar so the open chords already got my attention but then he hit me in the back of the head. The only other artist that has had this reaction from me is Aurora. I'll say it again WOW!!

@ryanmalone9434 Год назад

@VikviksGigVids Год назад

I only recently discovered him recently from hi ten. A deeper dive into his Spotify has me finding a similarity in the cadence of his story telling to Itch from the King Blues. He's so bloody good

@thesushifiend Год назад

As I commented on that video, it's literally insane. And for once it's not hyperbole. The problem for this guy is that a lot of people are suddenly going to try to take advantage of his incredible talent and I hope he has the mental strength and the support network that he can find a way to benefit from it himself without falling into a mental health crisis, which is all too easy when everyone wants their pound of flesh out of you.

@lornastewart2056 Год назад

Been watching and sharing Ren's music for a good few years. He deserves more recognition than he gets. Loved the comments you made, his music makes us all feel and also feel not alone...

@leemiller1431 Год назад

I've become obsessed with this track and it's brought me to tears a few times , it's like a modern day paranoid Android but played solo incredible 😱💞 being a songwriter myself I think how can you top that it's got everything ⚡💯

@thrutheveil74 Год назад

I agree Justin. I too have only recently found Ren. The first thing I watched/ heard was his video "Hi Ren". I don't have words other than it made me cry. Not because I felt sorry for him but because I felt a deep sense of victory for him by the end. The greatest artists of the past always had something in common. They all possessed that intangible element that made us all feel the same things from their art. John Lennon and Bob Marley are but two. Ren is a third. Utter genius IMO.

@petebrown6356 Год назад

"What did I just watch?" - was my first thought. I sat back and realized I'd never seen anything quite like this before....and it was performed live. It's difficult to convey just how hard this must be to perform. Then I learned that this is normal for him. He has many one-take, single camera, "performances" - I won't say "song", because these are more than that....like you say.

@dragon2knight Год назад

Love this one from the intro to the ad spot, too good 😁 Ren is really good, I look forward to more from him and hopefully he gets signed soon!

@karenhayes5069 Год назад

Ren is just pure genius. Have been following him since stumbling across him and Sam Tompkins singing "Blind eyed" few years ago. Seen him live with his band The Big Push in March 2020, awesome . He is a singer, rapper, musician, beat boxer, poet, storyteller, philosopher, all whilst battling an autoimmune disorder. Glad the music industry haven't got their claws into him so he can continue being his authentic self

@introvertialxo Год назад

Yourself and some of the other big names are exactly what we need to help push Rens name out to a wider audience. I've followed him ever since I saw him busking in town and he deserves billions of views

@jamesbanfield456 Год назад
