Pretty subtle reaction but now I'm dying 😂your wife casually breaking out Lauren hill like it's nobody's business❤

[@teckreactions]

For real, dude. She still astounds me all these years later.

[@sateentuoksu]

[@francesdoll4039]

Lauren Hill is one of Ren's favorite. Sure, have her back for more Ren. FYI Ren sings at least as mych as he raps! Almost all of his busking videos arw singing. Try The Big Push with Wade in the Water,Trouble So Hard and Nina Simone.

[@gerardpeterbrennan]

'Back on 74' is a track from the end of last year by Jungle. The original is similar but faster, more disco-like. The rap part is Ren's own addition. I really like how he blends the two tracks together.

[@teckreactions]

I'll have to check out the original.

Nice!

[@simply_psi]

I think your wife would love a song by Ren's band The Big Push, called Bongo Bong, it's a cover of a Manu Chao song but again with a twisted flavour.

[@toniyoung5131]

I haven't heard Ren sing with just one tone in any song, he varies it all the time. His version of Man's World is a perfect example of his versatility. I love how your wife knew the words to Message In A Bottle.

[@nicholefraser9762]

Back on 74 is the song done by a group called jungle. He was singing it straight, but he was doing little riffs of mess in the bottle under it. The part where he started to rap was just REN. Whenever you see the word retake on one of Ren he’s doing someone else’s song. Usually it’s like… Well, you can’t ever say usually about anything he does but a lot of them he did it just like bittersweet Symphony If you listen again at the end where he was rapping, he said, that was a Nas shoutout The next one he dropped was a NaS retake on halftime.

[@Oitsugina93]

This was great! She will probably like Ren's band, the Big Push, Wade in the water/ Nina Simone/Trouble❤

[@teckreactions]

Will check it out!

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

Seconded! That busking Wade in the Water live capture is great fun. :)

[@tetsumcneil1545]

Ren can solo like a maniac, but he always serves the song first. If you watch 'the big push' you will hear a lot more of this stuff.

[@MsCheesemonster13]

Welcome Ashlie! Hope we see more of you. I agree with Matt, you might like Nightwish. That said, I think Ren was a good first choice. He is so interesting to listen to, and such an engaging personality.

[@teckreactions]

We'll get some Nightwish going!

[@MissMeKate]

I love this one, and it really shows that he just loves making music and isn't confined by era or genre. The benefit of being independent is that he doesn't have to cultivate a single "sound".

[@Prime_Mover2112]

I thought this was great, loved seeing you both react together. Maybe you could revisit some of the Ren songs you have already done and take your wife through some of his content. That would be my vote. She has a great singing voice by the way, very cool.

[@teckreactions]

I'll do that.

[@badsabre5917]

So glad you did Ren. I loved this mashup/ retake. And from what I can tell when Ren puts retake in the title he is going to have some of his own lyrics in it if not the whole thing like you said about Bittersweet.

[@mikep83]

Thanks for the reaction. I’ve enjoyed your previous ones too. Wife was a great addition, especially her singing! You really haven’t explored his full talents yet and are still in for some great surprises. Please check out him busking and you’ll really see him sing. Maybe I shot the sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop Or War Pigs Peace

[@JimmyWallace284]

Bring her back for more Ren. Thanks

[@patriciateck2670]

Love this mellow vibe REN has. I too am not a Sting fan but love his rendition. She just breaks out singing!

[@teckreactions]

🔥

[@VideosbyLisaLisa]

Funny when your wife beautifully tied in Lauren Hill since I just watched a mashup by Jointdale of Ren and Lauren Hill. It was actually good and I never would have brought those 2 together. Great reaction. P.S. in Ren-i-verse, covers are usually same lyrics, play with tune; mash-ups combine at least 2 songs into a new composition; and retakes are new lyrics on an old track that might incorporate some old lyrics, but usually not. His retakes are just for fun. A challenge, not monetized. I love them, so I hope he keeps doing them.

[@kellyt5341]

Thanks for doing my request. Since you are a musician, I knew you would appreciate the set-up Ren did with this song. I guessed your wife would like Ren singing with his "crooner" voice. Most people know "Message in a bottle" and It was a mellow song with a vibe. I knew the Ren fans love this mashup and appreciate you and your musical background from the few other Ren reactions you did. Thank you. 😊

[@teckreactions]

Thank you for your support! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

'90s Seattle scene fan?... that's some great taste your musical rebellion came with Ashley!! (& apologies if I'm misspelling your name!) You're not wrong about the BVs in this sounding like that Lauren Hill song either- good shout. I thought this worked very well for a first attempt at a duo reaction vid. Possibly introduce joint custody of that space bar for pausing tho- we really *do* want to hear y'all's thoughts, but without hitting that space bar the instant either of you have a thought to share, we physically can't hear you. ;)

[@teckreactions]

True. She’s pretty shy and didn’t think her thoughts mattered to y’all. Let her know different!

[@diceau]

yes bring her back and show her different songs than those she might know and she can give her opinion on them too.

[@badsabre5917]

I would bring your wife back on for Ren and Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines. And my personal favorite, Ren - Patience. The best version is not on his channel and starts out with a short interview.

Oh many, brought out the big guns for this reaction. :). I hope she enjoyed it. Go Steelers.

[@teckreactions]

Let's go!

[@cathrinewitty6749]

Firstly how gorgeous is your wife. When it’s a retake it usually means same music different words. Sting is a huge influence of Ren’s and even though we could never categorise Ren anywhere in my opinion his natural singing voice is very similar to Stings. Please do more with your wife, maybe The Big Push, I shot the sheriff - road to Zion - hip-hop.

[@teckreactions]

She is quite breathtaking.

[@mothermaclean]

Back on 74 is a 2000s song. the rap bit is ren, then message in the bottle

My NF friends…..and I’ll explain nf in a minute guys! I have watched all your Ren reactions and I absolutely think that you’re wife should definitely come back for more reactions together and I have the perfect artist for her and you to react to since you don’t have any of his music on your channel! NF is the artist my friends and I’d love to see you react to this man! Now I’m a Christian and NF is a Christian that raps but he’s not a Christian rapper, huge difference! His topics are REAL and his slogan is REAL MUSIC and I’d love to see you do 2 songs, the introduction should be the song HOPE….it’s a great place to start but for the 2nd song if you could do that should be OH LORD and think this one will be great for your wife after listening to her opinions on music and her stance on religion! I also have 2 children myself , a 16 year old daughter and a soon to be 5 year old son and my wife of 22 years this month guys so congratulations on 15 years! I say all that to say this, I have blasted NF’s songs while I cook dinner and there’s 0 profanity, no talk of drugs and no downgrading of women! I wish I had funds to send you guys for this request but my situation doesn’t allow me to at this time, apologies for such a long comment but wanted to introduce myself. And I also just started a channel at 46 and have no clue what I’m doing but love your guys content and if you ever want to check it out my channel’s name is Filling Gaps and i have NF reactions and some other artists like Ren and of course the best female voice on the planet ANGELINA JORDAN y’all should react to her cover of I PUT A SPELL ON YOU……… she’s amazing and just 9 years old in this video and she not only sings this song but she also did the arrangement of the composition at 9 years old!!

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

@@teckreactions I think some folk are missing the point you were trying to get across there. i.e. Ren tends not to just rap, but rap *with pitch* ,so not quite out&out singing, but hitting (usually quite simple) melody while rapping. Being able to deliver a pitched rap is an added level of difficulty I don't hear many artists attempting, but Ren seems to have all sorts of musicality oozing out all the time! :)

[@rodb9275]

UGH. for some reason, this was a little annoying to me. It's all on me though, not you. I'm such a huge Ren fan, so of course I already know a lot of stuff.
