He produced it. There is an old video that ren shares his favorite possessions in his home. One of them was his speakers. He said he used to think he was mixing stuff well until he got good speakers and realized he had been mixing "trash" (though it's still fire)
Freckled Angels was a mix of stuff he got back from the Sony deal, recordings made with Trick the Fox but abandoned when he got ill, and new stuff he recorded at home in his bedroom, but not the better equipment and that much more skill that he has now. he said in one of the interviews that he was doing whatever he could to have one complete album to his name, in case he died. I like the way he redevelops and reworks songs, 1, 2, 3. Done isn't always finished. also, ran has lots of movie references scattered around in his work. old stuff too.
Dr. No (1962), From Russia With Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Live And Let Die (1973), The Man With The Golden Gun (1974)1. Other movies include The World is Not Enough, Tomorrow Never Dies, Goldeneye, Licence to Kill, The Living Daylights, A View to a Kill, Never Say Never Again, Octopussy, and For Your Eyes Only
Andiroo: Watch Sean Connery in “Goldfinger”. That Is the gold standard (no pun intended) of all Bond movies. Rigger Moore’s best is the Bond film “For Your Eyes Only”. You can’t go wrong with these two films. Enjoy.
I think especially Pt1 is a lot older like 2010-2011. You can tell from the lyrics, it is a teenage dream (and the fact that it is coming true is amazing)
If Ren didn't get so sick I think he would have blown up back then. Look at how far Sam Tomkins has come in the 13 years since Ren first found him busking on the street. I've heard that Ren was heading home, exhausted after a long day busking and saw Sam singing his heart out acapella. He offered up his guitar, but Sam said he couldn't play, so Ren sat down and accompanied Sam for hours. Apparently Sam was overwhelmed that he earned over £200 for the set and Ren wouldn't take any of it. The friendship was born and they're so amazing together. It's great to see how far Sam has come, and well deserved too - He's amazing ❤️🔥 But, it's bitter-sweet when Our Boi was spent so many years fighting Lyme disease, and still made the most vulnerable and inspirational music I've ever heard 🥺 Ren is a Unicorn 🦄❤
Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae. It combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. Ska is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the off beat. so... no... horns aren't necessarily a distinctive component of ska.
Nice copy and paste from Wikipedia ... However Rens Ska sounds more like ska punk than the original form and given he is from the UK and grew up hearing bands like The Clash and the Specials I would say that's most likely the larger influence
@@ninjabassonline yeah you can tell he was influenced by the Clash, The Specials, Reel Big Fish, maybe some Skatelites. But I think he also infuses a little reggae in there because while it's punk-ish it's got a little soothing island sound in there. I wouldn't think to try to pigeonhole him into a singular sound because he infuses everything so well, like the genre bending wizard that he is.
I love that you meet Love Music 1, 2 and 3 with our boy Andi Roo. He is absolutely fantastic in your studio ❤ A cup of coffee and I'm ready to see your reaction
No he wasn't on a label, own label and self published for the Freckled Angels album. Love Music Part 1 was older, it is from the days of Trick The Fox, he may have used that recording (might be with Sony but was never released under it).
The James Bond scheme at the end is one of my absolute favorite things Ren has done. This might be my favorite of the Love Music trilogy because of it.
its not just SKA its UK SKA he's performing where the it comes from the punk bands who fused traditional SKA with the the 3 minute fast punk energy sounds of the late 1970s early 1980s examples of the UK SKA from The Specials(too much tooo young) The Selector(3 minute hero) The English Beat(Mirror in the bathroom).
Poor Ren once said during the years he could barely get out of bed , he watched everything available on Netflix "if it didn't totally suck, so yeah, he has a lot of movie references 🤔
Wooooot! So happy you got to these BP! Glad to see Andiroo back, and love the reactions, and energy you bring. Can’t wait to see what you got next, looking forward to the interview!! Have a great day!
Canada here. FYI, the number of stabbings per capita in this country is 1/10 of 1% of the shootings in the US. As far as Ren goes, he's a fabulous talent. Love everything he does. "Power" is a favorite.
Enjoy your videos. Off topic, since you mentioned it, knife and gun violence is not the same. All terrible, of course, but not the same. I don't recall the exact number, but fatal stabbings in the UK, Wales last year was like 250. Gun deaths in the US was well over 20,000. Roughly 50,000 if you include suicide. Even if you adjust for population it's not remotely comparable.
This may have been one of the ones produced by the guy that produced plan B …he asked the producer if he could use the songs that were made for his first album that never got finished because he became ill …
I like seeing you dive into Ren's back catalog. These reactions are great. Along that line, I'd live to see some early days Ren mixed in from Trick The fox. like Lost Boy, Run Away and Living Room Poetry. released on youtube 10 to 12 years ago.
Back when this album was made, half the tracks were done with the sony people before he got really sick. Those tracks sat for like 6 years until he was well enough to get back to it and did the rest of the tracks on his own. So the thought that it doesn't sound like Ren produced some of these, you're right.
BO so happy to see Andiroo! Excited that you are doing the Love Music Trilogy. I cannot tell you how HAPPY these songs make me and am sure you 2 will feel likewise ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
he did say he brought 7 songs from the sony backed recording sessions in the justin hawkins interview..he didnt say what they were but he got permission to use songs from the unfinished album the guy who produced plan b's first album was the dude who walked past him busking and did his unfinished album
When you were taking about the James bond movies, Ren said in his Rosalie interview that he is very inspired by movies when he writes his music. Which makes sense considering all his references in other tracks
big up ren fan here love the channel all about the music just got in to u,im 47 years young met ren many times he went to college in bath where im from then we both moved to brighton..he was a kid but still even then stood out more than anyone ive ever met...that man has battled and worked to be this good...love the fact the love of his music is breaking boarders down just flow n soul..gonna keep speading youre tunes big love
The Love Music songs, and the Money Game songs, remind me of something I heard years ago. Basically artists sometimes will keep perfecting and changing a song. It is like he had an idea of a concept, but wanted to improve upon it. What is crazy is that each song has its own lyrics completely different from the others, but still have the same flavor.
Just caught the comment about knife crime, its really not the huge thing here that people seem to believe. Its national news if an incident happens still
Great reaction again guys, I love the pt2 I will play that one in my car every time I get the chance. Even though I am also yet to see a James bond film too 😂
Still keep in mind, Ren learned the craft from watching TH-cam video's, and seeing how far he has come in so short a time is mind-blowing. These tracks are so feel good
Haha, the kiddie with the wordplay fetish Alliteration of the lines I lushed like lettuce I live my life with love and light illuminate like lightning The liberation leader with linguistics of a lion
Rewatch cuz I'm missing some of these Ren reactions.... Prof/Ren collab Friday, July 12, 2024 - Pain Salesman. Ren first single off of his new album (album titled Slaughterhouse) August 15, 2024 according to Ren. Time to start ramping up for some Ren reactions to promote the new album!!!!! Thank you for all you do to promote Ren's music! You are a genuinely good person, BP! Respect! 💙💙💙
Love music part 1 is one of the tracks he was recording for the record label as he got sick. There is an old TH-cam video th-cam.com/video/5F03yf1q-ME/w-d-xo.html of him playing live as 'Trick the fox' so I think Andy is on point about the track production, but I assume he mixed it up again for when he eventually released it on the freckled angels project.
A lot of these stabbings in the UK and AUS in recent times are young kids born from either drug abuse or dysfunctional parents with no discipline or guidance. Also the rate of youth using ice compared to old school smoko is alarming.
Old ska had a weird requirement of a horn but us Ska heads have pushed past that now haha although a lot of tracks still have brass on. You should check out Bumpin Uglies (actually he raps too, Hard liqour.), Sublime, slightly stoopid, simplified, and you have to already know Collie Buddz - Blind to you. If you havent heard Collie Buddz thats a 40 momment.
Whoo hoo finally, can't wait 🎉😊 I'm surprised you have not included Pt 3 too .. that one is my favourite..unless you just ran out of space on your subject line
This was gonna be the first record Sony and Ren was gonna put out. He said in his interview it wasn’t a nasty separation he was just gone to long, Sony even let him finish the record and realest it to him asking nothing in return. I think he should stay independent But Sony is probably waiting on him to return the favor.
I love the Love Music trilogy - always make me smile. Think Pt 1&2 were written a long time before Freckled Angels but listening to the 3 of them - you can hear Ren’s progression. There are elements in each one that I love - Pt 1 - the opening line about dancing all night. Pt 2 - the Bond Scheme is 🔥. Pt 3 is certainly my favourite. Welcome back Andiroo - always enjoy your reactions with BP.
We need an "Insomnia" by Ren reaction. I can't really find other people reacting to that song.... guess it's too sad. That will get you in the feels man. I hope you listen to it.
Half of the tracks on the Freckled Angels album had been recorded for the Sony album in 2010/11 (when he was 20/21) but the album was not completed/released due to his illness. Not sure if this was one of the Sony tracks, but if so that might explain why the production is different from his later stuff.
I love hearing you talking about 100k, and then looking down and seeing it's 103k. You guys deserve it. Keep the positivity. As Ren says, "A rising tide lifts all ships." Cheers
great reaction yo, i love the way you and Andy hear together, so to speak. I'm in my 30's so halfway between you too and it's funny, i get both sides references and Andy is just a great young dude with some awesome music theory knowledge, keep it up my bothers :) oh and it's the same here in NZ, lots of violence, just most not including guns... for instance we had someone killed recently because another dude impaled him with a street sign, pole.... like in the front and out his back...
20:20. No horns are needed, ska simply means the offbeat of every beat is emphasised usually with a guitar stab/upstroke. Hence, it goes ska, ska, ska - that's why it's called ska! I think what you were picking up on the first track was a salsa rhythm. Although, there is cross fertilisation - ska, for me at least, definitely has a Latin feel - coming from the Caribbean as it does.
Moonraker is one of my fav bond films, not joking my dad had me watch moonraker when i was a tiny kid, you have probably seen the one james bomd vhs' that all have nice af case artwork, and remember they used to have a few days in a row of straight bond on cable, i think Ren got all the bond films even her majesties secret service.
Something I don't think I've seen anyone notice/mention, is the bit where he says "you're a motherflippin nutter", and the way he pronounces nutter really puts me in mind of Goldie Lookin Chain - Your Missus Is a Nutter". Not surprising of course that he would have been listening to Welsh comedy hip hop in his early teen years.
I bought the Freckled Angels and there is no Sony markings /TM. It’s all marked copy right Ren Gill 2015. The cover of the CD is a close up of his friends face which is freckled.
andy is right btw, this is part of the album he recorded when he had the sony deal, produced in a studio by somebody else, it never got released n he asked for the masters n put it on his freckled angels album with a few others, "its alright" was another one of them. also bp, the freckled angels song where hes crying 2nd verse was a live performance at joes memorial
He produced it. There is an old video that ren shares his favorite possessions in his home. One of them was his speakers. He said he used to think he was mixing stuff well until he got good speakers and realized he had been mixing "trash" (though it's still fire)

Love music pt 2 has some of the dopest bars
You’ve got a good vibe! That’s why he interviewed with you.
I’m so happy you got to these can’t wait.
I play part love Music pt one to my daughters daily and they now know it word for word even the rap part.
I listen to all 3 of these on rotation.
omg BP your expression when he went through the James Bond scheme was fanTASTic ❤❤❤ love this reaction!!! these are some of my favorite Ren songs
Haha, the kiddie with the wordplay fetish
Alliteration of the lines I lushed like lettuce
I live my life with love and light illuminate like lightning

Hey guys, another one to react to, that has very few reactions so far althouth it is awesome, is "Children of the moon"!

I love hearing you talking about 100k, and then looking down and seeing it's 103k. You guys deserve it. Keep the positivity. As Ren says, "A rising tide lifts all ships." Cheers
To me, Ska is basically sped up reggae, regardless of horns, but horns help add to that whimsical nature of Ska.
Lol I was worried y’all weren’t gonna catch the Bond stuff.
I do like the background voice, and by the way that background voice is also Ren.
The three best ever Bond Movies are: Goldfinger, Thunderball and Live & Let Die.
great reaction yo, i love the way you and Andy hear together, so to speak. I'm in my 30's so halfway between you too and it's funny, i get both sides references and Andy is just a great young dude with some awesome music theory knowledge, keep it up my bothers :)
oh and it's the same here in NZ, lots of violence, just most not including guns... for instance we had someone killed recently because another dude impaled him with a street sign, pole.... like in the front and out his back...
Great stuff. Hell yea enter the dragon, star wars, 007
These are so fun! Good balance for Ren’s heavier tracks!
❤..... Let's Go 🥂🍾♥️🇿🇦
Love Part 3
Fantastic reaction and songs ❤
Dope reactions !
20:20. No horns are needed, ska simply means the offbeat of every beat is emphasised usually with a guitar stab/upstroke. Hence, it goes ska, ska, ska - that's why it's called ska! I think what you were picking up on the first track was a salsa rhythm. Although, there is cross fertilisation - ska, for me at least, definitely has a Latin feel - coming from the Caribbean as it does.
Welcome back Andiroo 😊. Love these songs, I've been listening to them so much this last week 😁
Yay hes back!!
Yeeeeesss! The Love Music series is so upbeat! My favorite vibe is on #3 though. can't wait to see that reaction.
james bond movie rhymes were awesome at the end
Wait just wait a minute..wait lemme catch my breath. My man Ren spitting Old Skool on Pt 2! That word play is sick!
Whooo!! I love AndiRoo!!
This was such a fun reaction!! Thanks!!
21 Bond film titles in that scheme!
22.34 The Rapper-rapper mention Tony Hawk 900. Tonys famous scateboard trick back in 1999
Great
Glad that Andiroo is back again.
Joe was covered with freckles, Ive heard Ren talk about it. Yes, that's why he called the song he wrote about Joe was Freckles Angels.....
Moonraker is one of my fav bond films, not joking my dad had me watch moonraker when i was a tiny kid, you have probably seen the one james bomd vhs' that all have nice af case artwork, and remember they used to have a few days in a row of straight bond on cable, i think Ren got all the bond films even her majesties secret service.
