Ren - Back on 74 / Message In A Bottle retake | REACTION 

Yes, recorded live, there's a BTS on Ren's Patreon. the whole thing was 10 days from idea to recording...took a few takes but they had a 2 hour windows to record

Recorded in Bar Valentino in Brighton. The girls, Sylvia Mwenze and Scarlett Fae are also from Brighton as is the bassist Kai Lacey(I think). It took only 10 days from Ren hearing the song by Jungle, through getting the backing group together to rehearsing and finally shooting the video.

_Ren_ is an ADHD perfectionist, he'll spend a whole day adjusting the volume levels of the live recording master, note by note, word by word...

YOU HAVEN'T DONE "FRED AGAIN MASH UP" YET BY REN!!!! MUST, MUST DO. A COMPILATION FROM EDM SONGS.

The best part about this is listening to my friends try and choose a genre. Blues, lounge, reggae, ska, rock, rap... they were at it for hours (we had to replay sections over and over the prove a "point"). Eventually the wine ran out. I just say Ren is an artist.. but they seem determined to figure him out.

Back on 74 is an EDM track by Jungle. Ren just keeps leveling up! He took an EDM song he loves and changed it so it has more of a jazzy/bluesy sound to it throws in naughty bars real quick and transitions into a beautiful stripped down cover of part of an iconic song from The Police and it just works and sounds amazing!!! I can't think of any other artist that can currently do this type of genre bending and performing live. On top of all of that let's film it as a one shot video! If you haven't reacted to Ren's Fred Again Mash up that came out 2 weeks prior to this one, you should definitely react to that one. It's also on another level. (Just for reference it's a song where Ren takes 5 songs from one of his current favorite EDM producers, Fred Again, and creates 1 song from those 5.

Back on 74 is a song by a british group called Jungle, the rap part was all REN

100% Live Smokey Ren & Sting Not the first time I've heard Ren sing in Falsetto.

Recorded in a bar in Brighton, live, of course. 😊

It's moments like these, with true artists like Ren, that I'm ever so glad that you didn't walk away from the channel after all that YT hubbabaloo, the reaction space just wouldn't be the same without voices like yours in the ecosphere.

As someone else said "are we going to get singing? Rap? Storytelling?" Yes. Yes. You are. Stacie from Boston

Ren does have amazing mic control, I swear he mathematically calculates the inverse square law subconsciously when he sings live

This is Ren's usual live single shot production with his awesome meticulous mixing mastering done in post.

The taller of the backup singers is Scarlett Fae another artist that has been hitting it for a while slowly branching out on YT.

It is interesting watching your face in the first few seconds go through so many emotions. It went from ready and skeptical to totally in the groove. Magnificent.

Next Thursday Ren is doing a Nas retake😉

Yes, recorded live. He released a BTS on his Patreon that went through how he conceived the song and within 10 days they had this performance recorded. Love this one! 💜💜

I’ve never seen you move like you did when the ladies came in!😅

I don't comment often, but I had a kind thought I wanted to share... I'm glad everything worked out and you are still doing RU-vid. In my opinion you do the best music reactions out there. Light and funny yet insightful while not being overdone. I look forward to what you put out next. Best wishes and best of luck!

no doubt this is another Ren live -one-take (after rehearsal) beautiful art. It's all art and includes everything from video sound and visual heart there. These singers make it something more.

Ren did give a warning about naughty bars. The filming of Back on 74 by Jungle is a dance in and of itself if you get a chance to watch the BTS of shooting the video. I love what Ren did with both songs and how they were meshed into one another throughout. I love Ren's artistry. Thank you for your reaction. I always look forward to your reactions.

Love it when you give that certain smile of approval, ❤

It was live again m8. One of the backing singers 'Sylvia Fae' posted a short on her YT channel of them rehearsing before the final shoot. She's just casually fixing her hair in one of the mirrors while still banging this out.

Yes "Back on 74' is a British club hit by a band called "Jungle"

Earlier today--before I saw this reaction--I was also thinking that it'd be great for Sylvia and Scarlett to be a regular part of Ren's musical solar system. Ren posted their own personal YT channels on the official video page for this retake, so I'm gonna check them out. Kai's bass playing is pretty solid, too. Loved your reaction, fire as usual!

Nothing not the hottest 🔥FIRE🔥 from this man all the time

More often than not, if you aren't getting plosives on a Ren live recording its because he has gone in afterwards and painstakingly editing and adjusted them out manually :P

I’m not sure how many Ren videos you’ve done but he’s the Best musician putting out music today and he’s as versatile as anyone who’s ever lived. Amazing amazing talent. Hopefully you’ll check out more of his work. All his videos are live one takes which is his specialty. Back on 74 is about a year old hit by jungle that blew up on tik tok.

It's Ren, King of the live one take. I could listen to Ren sing tax law and still be moved

Ren and h.mack both aliens 👽👽👽👽❤️🇦🇺

Live one-take. Location is Bar Valentino, a 1920's stylized bar in Brighton. The ladies are local talent. The bassist is also local. Collectively they brought this together over a 10 day period when Ren was back in England.

Your smirk gets me every single time. Lol. Such a subtle expression and quietly so loud.

Thanks for the perfect audio levels my man✌️This track was simply amazing by REN 🇬🇧❤️

🔥🔥🔥retake by the genre-bending Renster. Big luv to Kai and the ladies, Sam on camera. Chef's 💋Thanks Mr L Boyd, I could see you groovin!

A quick 3 mins of behind the scenes for this video....only Ren could continue writing/directing whilst hooked up to his IV drip! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gYScobd-04c.html

So nice to hear from you Mr Boyd.

Their combined voices sound like budda, chef's kiss! Ren knows how to surround himself with incredible people, and I think the feeling is mutual. Love this song and glad to see MrLBoyd smiling away 😊

Sooo glad someone put this in front of you. Had a feelin youd like this🎉

❤ #ren I can't stop listening to this and Fred again mash up! ❤🔥🖤

This was an insane performance

HEY BOYD, "Raid her Tomb".. is a Tomb Raider reference. :) Tons of Easter Eggs ** Regarding the transition to Message, it actually started with the second verse on Back On 74 via the guitar... :)

If you like Ren performing Sting, The Big Push covered Englishman In New York.... you'll love it, too.

Back on 74 is a song from Jungle and you might wanna check that one out too just because it is one of the best choreographed videos I’ve ever seen

Recorded LIVE in Brighton.

I would love to see Ren do anything from Sting! ❤

Jungle song back on 74. He bigs them up in the rap when he says "massive like jungle".

Ren throwing Zelda references haha sick

Back on 74 is by Jungle - check out their live performance at Brit Awards.

Dude I've been wanting to watch your current Ren reactions and couldn't find them until at the end of one of your videos you put that you had a music channel separate from your reaction channel. But I finally made my way here lol keep up the great reactions man!

It's a huge joy, isn't it?!... It's our ARTIST... Ren! So good! Thanks for the reaction.

Ren is known for live one takes, I think he mixes some of his own stuff but does all recording live looking for the one take he feels is best.

Totally live one shot one take dude is amazing nobody else could pull this song off but Ren!!!

I wouldnt want to be Jungle, putting this song out and have Ren put out THIS spectacular version of it at the same time and just SLAY.

Ren - The one take Wonder!!!

“So this is just nasty!” 😂😂😂 It so funny that every reactor is like “Hellooooo, ladiesss!!!” when they come in….and then they all look up at the camera in surprise after the guillotine bar. 😂😂😂

Loved it, thank you 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍

Amazing song

Was waiting on thus one...great reaction to another Ren masterpiece

Mr Boyd 🔥 reaction as always. He ha k you!

Ren is the king of the one take. He’s a perfectionist

The original is by Jungle who last week won the biggest music award in the UK " The Brits " for best UK band. If you hear the original it is great and much enhanced by the dancers and coolness , what Ren has done is seriously reinvent the track and vibe into something so very special. The original has 20m views 6 months, Ren deserves double that!

I know you Smile a lot, but that is the most I’ve seen you smile. fantastic reaction as always.. Apparently, Ren has said that all his live recordings do get meticulously cleaned up

Perfection ❤❤❤😘😘😘🇫🇷

That smile says it all.

Would love to see you do "Ocean" and "Humble" ft Eden Nash..

I saw a bts and it was live, one take, as per usual I would also love to know about the absence of the 'plosives on that magical mic of his Looking good Sir

You should see The big push. REN n the big push have done some amazing busking

Much love ❤️ Sue

Thank you for a great reaction, sir!

It is 🔥🔥🔥

what beautiful black women

All live one take 😮

🔥🔥

yes it was live, and yes its amazing

So good!

“So this is just nasty” i lost it 😂

Like his previous song... Fred Again Mashup .... they're his own Retake on an EDM groups songs! Suggest doing that one, too!!! Like Ronnies "Reimagined" or "Revamped" .... he's just switching up others' tracks to give his fellow Brits attention in his own way!

❤❤❤

Oh it's live alright.

❤❤❤❤❤

Won't lie, getting some serious Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby vibes with teh way Ren looks in this video.

Good to see you back Mr Boyd ❤

🔥🔥🔥🔥

🔥👏👏

As is often the case with Ren, this was recorded live, in a single take! However, Ren's a wizard of a producer, so I'm sure he made it sound even better in production. :)

It’s live like all the others!

MRBLOYD I was hoping you'd burst out with the child like enthusiasm that was bubbling right at the surface. you fought through it 😐 you did well trying to stay so stoic and composed while you listened and analyzed. we could see it. you wanted to explode and yell "holy sh!t this amazing!!!!" .... let it go man.. just let it go. 🤣

Live...yes !
