13 NOVEMBER 2019 (TORONTO, ON) – Today, 17-year-old singer-songwriter ren has released her first single “idc” off her debut EP, due early next year via Geffen Records/Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company. The grungey, guitar-driven track showcases her pliant vocal style that toggles effortlessly between crystal-sharp and sultry-smokey.

Hailing from Toronto, the singer released her debut single “waves” in early 2019, followed by “mind games” in June, which have since racked up over 7 million streams. The songs landed her on lists such as Apple Music’s Artist of the Week (May 2019) & Soundcloud’s Artist to Watch (August 2019), and were met with high critical praise:

 

"SMOKY VOICE compliments DENSE LAYERS OF SPOOKY POP… you won't want to stop listening" – Paper Magazine

 

“[‘waves’] a CHILLING, MINIMAL POP TUNE about vulnerability in a relationship” – Billboard

 

"[ren] follows in the footsteps of darker pop idols like Billie Eilish and Lana Del Ray... her FOUNDATION LIES IN HER TALENT, specifically her SOON-TO-BE DISTINCTIVE VOCALS that perfectly capture the laid-back, effortless aura of youth." – L’Officiel USA

 

"displays EFFORTLESS CONTROL in her VOCAL ABILITIES, a SUPREMELY GIFTED PERFORMER" - Clash
