    The video was shot in the Bar Valentino in Brighton. I can't imagine Ren ever making a video in a green room. It's another great video filmed by Samuel Perry-Falvey.
    The background singers are Sylvia Mwenze and Scarlett Fae. Scarlett has some own songs on her channel as well. The bass player is his friend Kai Lacey (who played Kujo in the Beat Down video). Furthermore you can find some BTS videos on his RenMakesStuff channel.
    Two recommendations: 'English Man In New York' and 'Swan song' by Ren's former band The Big Push.

    Please do The Big Push - I shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop next. You will obv. hear much more of the reggae influence, but what intrigues me is his ability to mimic these artists. It makes sense since he also does other characters in his songs and can seamlessly go between them. He has a gift for mimicry, or worked hard at it, or both. The TOTAL artistic mastery is unmatched.

      @CharlieCalottaReacts another thing to consider is that Ren spent a huge part of his life in bed and unable to go out, so he immersed himself in music and movies and books. So as you progress in your journey with his music you will find so many different influences clearly present.

    @KittyInTheGarden หลายเดือนก่อน +23

    There's a behind the scenes video on Ren's second channel, RenMakesStuff. The female singers are Sylvia Mwenze and Scarlett Fae. Their channels are linked in the description. Kai Lacey played bass. The 'retake' part refers to a cover of a song but often with lyrics changed or added or various songs mashed up together. There are several retakes available on TH-cam because of the cover license but not on other platforms.
    Ren has said that Sting's songs are quite a natural fit for his voice range. Apparently Ren lost his voice for a while in 2020 and took some voice lessons to learn how to use his voice and not abuse it. He also said that he learned a lot from Chris Liepe, a voice teacher on TH-cam, who talks a lot about how to express emotion through voice, over technically perfect but emotionless singing.

    This was another brilliant ReNtake. Just Ren doing Ren things. Crazy runs and harmonies, filthy bars to remind us that he is also still a cheeky boi, and that voice that’s perfect for Sting/The Police songs. And yes, despite all that talent he is so humble. What matters to him is the music, not ego. Ren has music in his soul and pours so much soul into everything he does. We’re just lucky to witness it. And you’re still at the top of the rabbit hole so most of this wonderful journey is ahead of you 🐰🕳️

      Yes, Bar Valentino. It is a cocktail bar and it is really worth a visit if you are in Brighton. I was there this summer and just had to go there because of this video, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere (and the cocktails).
      As you said they only had a few hours before the bar had to be prepared for opening, but they really nailed it.

    His shared smile with the backup singers at 10:43 is everything. A musician appreciating the making of music, and fellow musicians who Get It. Often brings tears to my eyes.
    We cry so much over the dark and tragic themes in Ren's music (and I'm a glutton for dark & heavy music) - it feels like it's pretty important to revel in the joy, too. It's the joy of it all that propels him, afterall.
    (I also love the long look he gives to Sam PF/the crew doing the filming; would love to know what he was communicating to them/looking for from them)

    I think you nailed it, talking about Ren’s humility and commitment to the piece. I think it’s what makes his collabs and work with his band, The Big Push, so successful. He’s done a lot of busking with friends and his band where they improvised. To do that well, you have to listen to others, respect their artistry, know when to take a step back, etc.
    He’s so darn talented and charismatic that he often draws attention, but he has no issue what so ever making space for others to shine. He WANTS other to people around him to be successful. He WANTS them to be the best version of themselves. He said it often enough, a rising tide lifts all ships ❤

Samuel Perry Falvey did a fantastic job filming it!! And you can tell how much joy Ren has performing and collaborating with others. He did a great job on the post production mixing to make sure that Scarlett and Sylvia really shined! ✨ Their blend was incredible.
    I’m glad you took a Ren detour. He has a lot of songs - solo, collaborations, and with his busking band the Big Push - that are a great palette cleanser and boost after you go through his deeper content.

    I love that he doesn't confine himself to a single genre or style. So many contemporary singers think their audience will only consume music that fits one narrow category, but the Renegades love the rollercoaster and never knowing what we're going to get.

    15:29 Ren writes and composes everything himself. Unless he features someone, he gives them freedom, but on his songs, every element is his own little brain child he nurtures. Ren learned every instrument by ear, learned to sing out of necessity, he had no one to sing for him, so he started singing and worked hard at it. What's really funny is just a few years ago he would listen to Chris Leipe (spelling?) and his singing strategies to practice (Chris didn't know at the time), and now Chris does reactions and reacts to Ren. But he has no formal training.

    I WANT THAT REN REGISTRATION VOICE BREAKDOWN FROM YOU! Please. Thank you. You have no idea how you (Charlie (and Nicole Maria) have enriched my life. I have been 99% bedbound since my early 40s from a degenerative disease, can’t even go out in a wheelchair, I need to be horizontal. For an hour I haven’t been conscious of the continual pain I’m in, how it peaks and ebbs and twists viciously in various areas of my body. For an hour I’ve enjoyed life like I did when I could swim and bob and body surf in a surf beach. Like I did in the freshest air and clearest omnidirectional light on the top of a mountain skiing, like I did sweating and high on my own endorphins night club dancing. Like I did reading Coleridge and Dostoyevsky and Casey McQuiston’s Red, White & Royal Blue. Like I did making love and riding my bicycle and knitting diaphanous patterns in gradually ombré hues of prismatic colour. Like hiking Lake Mountain, the Bogongs, The Erinundra plateau that is the most beautiful smelling place on Earth. Like being guided down Limestone caverns where the backlit translucent flowstones glow like coral reefs made of calcium carbonate fairy citadels.
    For an hour I have been happy beyond the ability to feel pain, because you both gave me a feast of intellectual analysis and life philosophy mixed with pure emotional joy and creative exhilaration. Thank you.
