REN - Back on 74 / Message in a Bottle Retake Reaction by Cedric and Brian

[@DogDocKat]

Ren is phenomenally talented. It took him 10 days from conception to filming this song/video! Loved this reaction. Definitely check out his Fred Again Mashup video as well. His latest release, Mackay, is also amazing (pure piano piece). And BTW, I'm 53 and Ren is my favourite artist 💜💜

[@MissMeKate]

He took songs written decades apart and blended them together in a style we haven't seen from him before and linked them with a cheeky rap. You really never know what to expect from Ren! On Patreon they did a behind the scenes that showed them putting it together. He had the idea, wrote and arranged it, and filmed it: all in 10 days. 🤯

[@dottiemurray6013]

So amazing they way Ren can bring old & new + his own bars into one song 🎶🎶

[@CedricandBrian]

Definitely a talent and skill you don’t see in too many artists!! Thank you for watching. - C -

[@SandraP3796]

I’m 61 and Ren is my music man ❤❤. Laughed when you said that 😂😂

[@vickihammond5576]

One Shot live at Bar Valentino in Brighton 29/12/23. 10 days from conception to completion. The arrangement and the rap section by REN.✌🏽

[@kellyt5341]

You are very welcome...great reaction fellows, thank you. That was extremely fast btw and I appreciate that as well. 😊

Back on 74 is by Jungle. They have said they wanted it to sound nostalgic. I think they were thinking of location (74th etc) rather than year but year also works with nostalgia theme. Ren specifically took it back to year by saying "Back to 1974" after his rap section.

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

[@staceyshaffer180]

I’m 64, you’d be surprised how many of us “Baby Boomers” watch reaction videos 😂 Great reaction boys.

[@fourcornersofbrighton]

I'm 52 and my mind went to the same place with the Motown vibes. Back on 74 is a song by the band Jungle. Very different vibe from this.

[@di-sy]

Yup. 67 here 😉

[@CindyBaucom-sb1hd]

REN❤❤❤

[@CedricandBrian]

YES!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥. - C -

[@VideosbyLisaLisa]

Yes, singing Ren is definitely captivating. His recent Fred Again Mashup is fantastic. Another live audio one-take video in his Calgary apartment. Being familiar with Fred Again's music isn't helpful, so no worries if you don't know. Ren completely changed things up. A beautiful song that showcases his emotive vocals.

[@stacie9229]

This song makes you feel good after you listen to it. It's all the smiles and surprises on the journey. Stacie from Boston

Count me in with the crowd I’m 63 this year and really appreciate Ren, he is multi talented plays the piano great!! Watch Money Game 3

[@CedricandBrian]

Yes!! It’s a testament to Ren’s musical ability that he attracts people from all ages, genders, and ethnicities!! we just uploaded a comment video where I address that if you want to check it out in the link below.

Spilling the beans. I was 24 in 74 and it was the best of times. This reminds me of Smokey Robinson & Sting at the end.

[@RoxyKandyKoRn55]

I was 19 back in "74"😁 So happy i'm still here to enjoy this amazing artist🎵🎼🎶🌹💝

[@MikeyPea72]

So was I (24 in 74) and Ren is the best.

I was only 6 but I agree it was a great time to be alive :)

❤ #ren Love all Ren 🔥🖤🎶 This & Fred again mash up are my new favourites atm ❤🔥😍

[@butterflymama0838]

YES!! I absolutely LOVE this song. I've never heard of the band that originally does it (Jungle), but I went and watched the official video and it is such a fun dance song! Ren's RENdition of it is incredible! Of course, he had to put his own original flip on it with the rap. He is so damn creative and talented. A real special artist! Oh, btw .. LOVES Cedric's dancing! That was fun! 😁

Glad to hear you guys checking this out.... Found it a few weeks ago. Love it. Guess I missed something with y'all being in two different places I'll have to go back and see. But... Brian! I think your beard looks very nice and trimmed. I have a son that I am always reminding to keep things trimmed and nice and neat. Make the world of a difference. I like it!

[@CedricandBrian]

Thank you Donna!! Yes, Brian made the move to Tennessee a few months ago, and a large number of our subscribers didn’t know because somehow they were magically “unsubscribed“ by the overlords at KZbin 🤷🏽‍♂️. Brian’s beard game is starting to come around; and we thank you for your continued support my friend. - C -

Back on 74 is a song by Jungle.... gotta react to Ren Fred Again Mashup. Also Masochist from REN. More singing stuff from Ren would be For Joe, Chalk Outlines, How to be Me LIVE, and anything from REN 😆 🤣

regarding to the title „back on 74“ there‘s a band called „jungle“ with the song „back on 74“😉. he‘s referring to it in the lyrics when he sings „massive like jungle...shy but rude“.

Nice review guys!!! Banger

[@JoeYo77]

This is my second time on your channel 1st time was for Hi Ren. For some reason I didn’t subscribe so you never popped back up on my feed. Came up today for some reason so I’m gonna subscribe now and look at your second reaction. he has a lot of amazing songs that I see you guys have not covered yet. Since his sick boy album got number one about five months ago he’s been receiving his treatments and only released about three songs. I think. So there’s this one, you have Fred Again mashup, which is a favorite DJ of his techno house, music that he turned into a acoustic guitar song. That’s amazing and he has a Nas retake the amazing rapper from New York City with the album Illmatic considered to be one of the top five rap albums of all time covering the song halftime, and he has a piano piece called McKay, which is an instrumental that he wrote for his other best friend who I passed away by drowning accidentally. Ironically, the last time he saw him was that Joe’s funeral, who also drowned, but from jumping off a bridge committing suicide it’s a beautiful piece. I really suggest you guys watch it anyway to make his album go number one in the 11th hour he threw a bonus track on castles made of sand, it’s an amazing song and a few guys can find it and react to it that would be great. I think you would love it not too many reactions on it because I’m not sure how available the video is on KZbin. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this video. I’m looking forward to watching it and your reaction. By the way, I usually find his live versions to be better than his recorded versions so I don’t know if you did murderer Live, if not, you need to do that and also Genesis, which is probably my favorite live Ren video and song. Of course, that’s hard to say but it is for the time being and for a while. One last thing., if you love his singing voice which I do as well and most people do, you should check out his band the big push and watch some of their street performances busking in the UK. So jungle is the group of artist that performed the first song there and it’s a dance group. It was a TikTok sensation last year. I don’t know if you guys only do songs based on donation but even if you don’t react to it check out some of those songs I recommended on your spare time if you’re not gonna react to any of them, I think you’ll really enjoy them. Nice reaction, glad to be aboard

The dude on the left was a bit over the top for me. You guys seem really cool though. I hope you have a lot of success. I like fun reactions but it felt like trying too hard to be "clowny". If that makes sense. I'm NOT suggesting you be someone else. I'm not trying to be rude like that. It just wasn't my thing in this one.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

I won't give this a Dislike because I love Ren, but I couldn't watch this, the guy on the left is mugging for the camera so much it's annoying AF.

[@CedricandBrian]

I can see how confusing my pure joy for Ren's music with 'mugging' could be a challenge. I’ll try to tone down the enthusiasm next time... maybe some blank stares would do the trick? - C -

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@CedricandBrian I have no doubt you love Ren's music, but his videos are visual art, and you seemed far more interested in posing for the camera than you did in getting the full sensory experience he gifted to us.

[@CedricandBrian]

@@Cosmo-Kramer thanks for watching our channel, but we have two completely different perspectives on how we appreciated Rens musical ability. - C -

@@CedricandBrian I won't be returning. Your preoccupation with mugging for the camera is a major turnoff. I've watched hundreds and hundreds of reaction videos and I've never seen anything like it.
