When I show people Ren, they always seem to want to compare him to the best in that particular genre, which is already a compliment… but it’s the versatility that’s amazing. Take those bests and throw them into different situations. Like imagine Kanye trying to do this. Or one of the best guitarists trying to do Genesis. Impossible.

[@alexandrafossey9267]

Nicely put! Ren's musical talent is beyond any "boxy" definition, it has too many facets. Just enjoy the RENexperience !

[@WoodyWoahzay]

Word!

[@Skittenmeow]

So true. I fell in a brief trap of thinking of Ren as a rapper... it only lasted a couple of days and the whole time all I could hear in the back of my mind challenging "rapper" was that his rapping is an instrument. He's either singing when rapping, or he's using rap like a drummer (a drummer using jazz techniques, but doesn't play jazz)

[@allisonal]

Yes yesss. I’m fairly sure genres were only so tightly defined and enforced in the past because streamlining them made music business & promotion more convenient for the labels, radio stations, etc. But it’s entirely unsurprising that a natural musician/performer with varied interests and influences would visit all of them within his body of work. And the synergy between the influences takes him to a different (and arguably, new) level. See: bringing musicality into rapping, and dropping a casual little rap section into a crooning performance 🥬

[@Maureen.EccentricEclectic]

He isn't Ren ..I am Ren. He is simply the other Ren not the original.

Rens comment section in a nutshell: "Ren, I hate fangirling, but as a 9,000 year old demi god your music is what keeps me young, it makes me relive my golden days, seriously, I mean it, everytime I feel like I'm getting old, and want to relive my good old 2,000s, I listen to your music, it always puts a smile on my face, I lost hope in all forms of music and artists long ago but when King Henry VIII introduced me to your music I was relieved to see that there's at least one artist left who makes actual good music. Thank you, Ren." I've stated quite a few times this comment was not meant to offend anyone, I just saw a pattern in comment sections (no offense to anyone who leaves these comments, they are nice) so I decided to make a joke around it, sorry.

I continue to be amazed. I am not aware of anyone close to having the gifts this talented bastard has! It is not just the acting, music, lyrics and voice. He is connected to an awareness and understanding of the universal accountability to human dignity we all have, through the balancing of our humanity which expresses the virtues that leads to natural wisdom, grace and joy. He also understands that lack of balance leads to the expression of vice that leads to ignorance, chaos, and suffering!

[@TrickOrRetreat]

3 of his best friends committed suicide while Ren clawed his way back to life after laying in a bed for 1 year staring at the wall. Gene therapy and iron will brought him back to the land of the living. He is out of this world musician i have not encountered before. Such a privilege to click on a button and hear music like this. The demons this man fought, my mind can't comprehend. But as he said recently, i still have brain damage so i need to take it easy one day at the time.

[@Hello_I_am_Jeff]

Jimmy had a really weird time line. He sold nuclear secrets way before he moved imports and exports out of Cuba, which just seemed like a little bit of a downgrade. Then decided to be a drug dealer for some bizarre reason. He just kept going backwards so it makes sense that he just gravitated to singer / songwriter after the gun misfired in the rain.

[@mattday94]

As a detroit boy born and bred if ren ever made a motown album i would leave this earth a happy man ren just has that soulfull motown voice

[@nick_coles_art]

Thank fuck for youtube for giving us the chance to stumble across ren. Blown everyone away yet again. Respect Ren. Thankyou again.

[@blixx666]

I stumbled across him through tiktok. It's a shame they're gonna take that away from us.

[@ScarlettFae]

the most fun ❣️🌟 tyyyy for having us, @@RenMakesMusic !!! 🔙🔛7️⃣4️⃣

[@RockyRaspberry]

Dude this is like buttery smooth. You are truly so unique keep on keeping on my guy

[@RenFan74]

So good. I‘m a 49 years Old German and i love all of the Ren Stuff

[@jelmervanlenteren773]

I'm in love, addicted, flabbergasted and speechless... ❤

[@maddynuff2091]

Can’t get enough of this. Even more appreciation of it after watching the BTS on REN’s Patreon. Mind blowing!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@KattDraft]

Everything about this is so polished and perfect. Gawwwd I love this performance. ❤❤❤

[@tommayo3212]

Always surprising, always amazing. Keep rocking it REN!😊

[@willrohan7256]

454,000 Views? What's up with that, Renegades? Thought you were at least a million strong. If Ren isn't spitting out (c)rap Muzak, you don't like him as much, eh? This might be a double cover, but it's the best thing he's done since Hi Ren!

[@cameddy4081]

Wow !!! Freakin brilliant Ren - you are soul . The feel of a small club , the wild breadth and range of your vocals and the Telecaster !!!!🎸💥🎸👏👏👏you are a sonic genius! The segues, the rap , the precision, the gorgeous backing vocals and musical support - smashing !!! Just sensational - stay true to YOUR soul and the needs of your dreams 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🎼🎼👍 thanks for sharing/posting

[@leebhagat868]

Absolutely just the best… I am an old boy now but when you stumble accidentally across talent like this it’s life affirming… love it…

[@kieranmcmahon1745]

Ren and PostModernJukebox - MAKE IT HAPPEN! Ren, you gotta do some music with PMJ, they can do any style, you can do any style, it would be insane. I can only imagine how this would be with the full theater type set up that PMJ can do. Stuff of dreams

[@southerncomfortuk]

Absolutely loved this. The wonders of the KZbin algorithm brought this video up this morning. What a fantastic arrangement. It could only be improved by breaking into ‘Because I’m Happy’ at the end… because I’m so happy I found this - subscribed.

[@cathywethington5913]

Don't know if you've seen Ren before. If not, you're in for a wonderful ride. No matter what your taste in music is, you'll find things to love. And he may expand your taste. If someone had told me a year ago that I'd be loving rap, I'd have laughed. I absolutely love everything Ren does, every single song. Also check out The Big Push, his former band

[@southerncomfortuk]

@@cathywethington5913 Yes indeed, we look forward to it. We love the different styles of many of the tracks. So glad we came across the channel.

[@luckysticks]

The greatest artists are those that can display versatility. From ‘Blind Eyed’ (my intro to you and Sam), to your rap, to reggae, to street, to studio, to mash-ups, to The Big Push. Damn dude, you are beyond talented and this video is versatility at its finest.

[@thetruthmessenger6358]

Ren Does it AGAIN......cant lose with this intelligent Savant.

[@rosaliatrevisanut5967]

I love everything about this performance. It was so perfect. The singers, the bass guitarist. Thanks to Ren for his genius, and the fabulous film makers. ❤❤❤

[@lefty6string]

This guy is immensely talented. Keep it going brother. You are on your way!

[@diptronic]

SO. Fucking. Dope. Really sounds amazing, and the little bit of Police was just perfect.

[@amayastory3675]

This music has saved my life and helped me to rediscover the person I thought I lost not just that but it's given me the desire to expand and discover more of just who I can still become....also it is great for profiling people who I meet that just may not be on my level. Real time saver and potential for preventative maintenance as boundaries have been a huge theme in my life. Keeps out the riff Raff if played constantly around those certain types that may just not have the greatest intentions as often as they seem to feel it's necessary to constantly repeat ..... Thanks ren for being u. So thankful to be alive at this time to exist and be alive at the same time as the greatest artist alive is such an absolute highlight of my entire existence. Whether or not he's A I. I still couldn't have survived the last year with out this sexy and all around brave strong and down to earth one of a kind soul. Glad he's willing to allow us to be so involved in his journey. \m/=^_^= \m/

The Zelda line is so underrated! Anyone that remembers the original Lengend of Zelda knows Link used to jab his sword! (The motion) How does Ren know this! He's either just a genius or im convinced hes a alien 👽 😂

[@kellyt5341]

He played all the video games and probably mastered them as well. He puts those tidbit thoughts away for future music.

[@AdamBazille]

@@kellyt5341 Yep! ❤️

[@kenspencer3448]

I hope you never lose your Brighton roots... I used to spend every weekend down there when I lived Hastings a few years back. You are an amazing artist and person. Much love!

[@TJTruth]

The independent music scene is absolutely killing it! People like Ren has made me excited about new music for the first time since the 90's. How dose he make you feel like its live... like you are with him every time! I only wish i could like the video every time I watch it.

[@dagsy77]

Naughty that 👌You smooth bastard. Keep it going lad

[@Spaztiq]

HOW do you keep doing this? You officially share my Top Artist spot with Maynard. I love music even more because of what you've created. Ren has absorbed decades of music and rebirthed it in the freshest, most incredible way. Mad respect from YYC!

[@LintEastwood21]

the different genres of music that this man can touch is WILD. ive heard his marley, his rap, his nursery rhymes, his sea schantys, his rock and roll, his RNB, his jazz...this man has studied everything

Seeing a genuine smile from Ren just hits when you think about just over a year ago, dropping Hi Ren and shipping over to Canada for treatment, now with a #1 album and over a million subs on youtube. Beautiful, man.

[@Dona-fu9zh]

oh Ren... a beautiful soul you are x❤x. Britawards ceremony ?? havent been connected...were you at least invited...no recognition,,, wtF... unbelievable...Why not...jungle performance was that coincidence...this rendition no disrepect to Jungle is just amazing all the superlatives...def. unique...always deep, on point and from the heart. all the love Ren...people are missing something if they don't click ...akin to a rubix cube; in my head atm...any way bugger to the organisers...chop suey ; )

So you like Sting? That's all this was for me except Ren is hotter than Sting. Boomer music

[@rickyfrost8352]

@nopepunx1981 yes I like sSting, but trust me, there is a lot more in this. The soulmate in the beginning, the rap in the Sting at the end. He is talented beyond anything that I have seen in my generation.

[@nopepunx1981]

@@rickyfrost8352 he is very talented. I agree. I just like his own music. I get artists sample, but Ren sounds better doing his original stuff. In my personal opinion.

Best arranger of pop music alive - Andrew Lloyd Webber vibes + George Gershwin virtuosity.

[@nopepunx1981]

@@Thomas_Davies128 I really miss his older stuff. I feel like a lot of times when artists get famous they lose what made them so good. Not saying anything bad about him personally just his music seemed more raw when he was younger.
