The energy and soul packed into every thoughtful sound he makes, while squeezing the juice out of every note he sings. I’m a guitar player/songwriter/singer to answer your question

His life journey definitely impacts his artistry but fuck man, he is just so fucking talented I'm in ah all the time... I do not ever want to compare him to any other artists and won't because he is one of a kind!!! ❤❤

If anybody is curious about the "Fred Again..." songs he "mashed up" there they are as follows: + Jungle + Delilah (pull me out of this) + leavemealone + Clara (the night is dark) + Angie (i’ve been lost)

Being familiar with Fred Again's amazing high vibe EDM tracks, I was not expecting an emotional accoustic cover but my bad as one should always expect the unexpected with Ren and he really pulls out the feels just busking for us all in his living room. I love it
@iancollins6510 ай бұрын
I can only think of one artist that can mashup 5 EDM songs into a brilliantly unique acoustic performance. That one person is Ren. He has said “Fred Again” is one of his favorite artists, and you can feel that Ren really connected with that music on a deep spiritual level. He paid one of the biggest compliments to “Fred again” by paying homage in such a beautiful way and bringing that music to an audience that had t heard it. I know I had to look up “Frec Again” to see what it was after hearing this one and everyone on here should go check it out and show love to him as well. His music is deeply beautiful as well.

I play guitar a little bit, not near as much as when I was younger and in a band, I will tell you this, and I don't want this to sound like I'm talking down to anyone that doesn't play guitar, but my fellow strummers out there can back me up......I think it's hard for those that don't play, to wrap their heads around just how expert level/top tier Ren's finger picking and strumming are on this song, then add the fact he's singing while playing. Ren is an alien, I'm tellin' ya.

Same here!!!! I know I'll always love pretty much whatever Ren puts out, and I have songs that I like and songs that I LOVE, but nothing is bad. What I never thought I'd see, is Ren improving and maturing as a musician, I mean that in the best way, he was that good, I just figured he'd finely tune his craft, but this is clearly next level IMO, especially if you know Fred-again's music, and how much care and detail he puts into his beats, I hope he hears this mash-up, he'll truly be honored.

Every time a new Ren track drops it instantly becomes my new favourite. It’s incredible. He just keeps getting better and I think he’s just warming up. I’ve seen some of the biggest acts in the world play but none of them (and I mean none of them!) come close to Ren’s talent! In the last 13 months he has become easily my favourite artist of all time! I mean, I’m 57 for goodness sake! I haven’t been this obsessed by an artist since I saw a young AC⚡️DC play in Edinburgh when I was just 17 (oh my God! Has it really been 40 years already?). His talent seems to know no bounds! ✊🏼🐷❤️🔥

So, i like ren. But i LOVE Fred Again. Like, i listened to nothing but him for over a month. His boiler room set is my workout playlist. I'm autistic, and i am very bad at processing emotions. And the main way im able to just dwell in emotion and process what I'm feeling is music. And sometimes I listen to specific songs if i want to feel a particular emotion. Fred Again made me feel in ways i didn't even think were possible. And Ren just fucking broke me, man.

Excellent, heartfelt reaction to one of the greatest mashups I've ever heard. The last lines are heartrending. I've wept at a few of Ren's songs, but this one "kills" me at the end every time. He took Fred Again's songs and made them his own, living and breathing every word. (I'm a guitarist/singer who was in several bands over the decades. I can vouch for Ren's skill as a guitarist. 🎸 Not just technical skill, but having the ability to play with heart and soul.)

Old head here. I've been following EDM music for a minute, and I've been to a thousand "parties" (we were too cool to call them "raves") From the beginning, I immediately latched on to the sadness of the tracks. My happiness at the time came from the uplifting atmosphere and my friends who I've cared about. While alone, this music tends to put me in a sad state. I have a feeling that Ren and people like him might understand this dissonance that EDM music elicits.
