Title: “Back on 74” Released: 2023 Artists: Jungle (a London-based electronic pop soul band) Song theme: Nostalgia and nostalgic memories of a fictitious place called 74th Avenue. Title: “Message in a Bottle”. Released: 1979. Artists: Police (British rock band), Sting (lead singer). Song theme: A castaway on an island sends out a message in a bottle because he is lonely and alone. Ren’s video features Sylvia Mwenze, Scarlett Fae and Kai Lacey.

This was another brilliant ReNtake. Just Ren doing Ren things. Crazy runs and harmonies, filthy bars to remind us that he is also still a cheeky boi, and that voice that’s perfect for Sting/The Police songs. Ren has music in his soul and pours so much soul into everything he does. We’re just lucky to witness it 🐰🕳️ Also unfortunately Ren hasn’t done any full on metal. Yet. He has said on stream that he would like to at least do some nu metal someday. Until then I think the closest we get is maybe Crutch feat. Bibi. It’s an older song from before Ren was finally correctly diagnosed and was written after a breakdown following multiple emergency trips to the hospital. It is heart wrenching and stunning.

[@robmarar]

There's an old MV by a younger Ren when he was still ill fighting his Lyme disease, when the doctors still didn't know it was Lyme, It's called "Crutch". It reminds me of something Sleep Token might perform, style wise. It starts out as a piano ballad but in the last 1/3 of this track Ren starts to shred on the electric and gives some metal level vocals. You guy's should check it out.🔥🤯✌

[@joyplant6275]

The Police are one of his biggest influencers 😊

[@rudyb.]

I enjoyed your reaction to REN’s old school vibes. His homage to Sting/The Police was spot on. There’s nobody doing what REN is creating out there, not even mainstream. I can’t wait for him to do a Jeff Buckley retake. Thanks!

[@russ9839]

Check out "Murderer" next. The official video first but he has a sick acoustic version of it too with a whole different vibe that you'd love.

[@adam.4487]

Listen to Ren's "Fire" off his CD Freckled Angels it's semi rock on think.

[@margaretc5679]

I think they'll love Fire!

[@callmeeley]

Ren and his band the big push do The Clash, Guns of Brixton, its not metal but its different to alot of his stuff, its a busking one done at night you might enjoy that ❤ from the UK

[@helenjarvis7755]

Love the Clash and TBP cover is so good Oh and my Dad used to live in Brixton when the song was made

[@docdurdin]

For that falsetto you have to go back to the king, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

I'd never heard of Back On 74, but knew Message In A Bottle. Love this soooo much! Love his rap in the middle ❤

[@MG_Jersey]

Guys the first part is a song by Jungle called “Back on 74”, I’ve start listening to the band Jungle and it’s nice stuff. Then there’s the Police “Message in a bottle”. You’re welcome.

[@MegsD79]

If you guys haven't checked out Ren's Spontaneous Stream Jam, you definitely should. It's around 14 minutes long but it's def worth it! ❤

[@AdamBazille]

OREGON TRAIL AND LEGEND OF ZELDA!! ❤❤❤

[@Lynxeye-Youtube]

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

[@optimistinmyprime]

Guy on the bass is Ren's friend Kai. There was a BTS and Kai ended up sitting down because they were in a tight corner and some of the shots or positions would've been tricky.

[@elwray3506]

Rocking Ren? Ren: "Girls"

[@sharis9095]

Others may have mentioned... but he has a video called Crutch... with Bibi... it's got a bit of this and that but also rock/metal in there too. It's surprisingly haunting and beautiful and deep.

[@anotherashley95]

Haha I noticed the Oregon Trail shirt right away, I recently found an emulator online & would play the OG keyboard-control version of it at work, using my co-workers names as my crew. Every so often I’d announce who had just died from Dysentery 😂😂 & Shout out to Zelda! I might still have my N64 & blow the dust off the Ocarina of Time cartridge every now & again…

[@Turntablist_Mk2]

There's a tiny bit of metal in "Crutch" ft Bibi and it's unexpected and excellent lol.

[@johnschmitt7957]

The Big Push release from a couple weeks ago "Heart Attack" is a blast of swampy blues-rock that easily could have come from '74. Would make a fine reaction. v=aBJmZ51VgNM

[@sigally]

Your new intro was really cool! Great reaction to this song. A song I'll suggest that's Rock with a punk vibe is "What kind of Woman is This" this is a live recording not busking on the streets, with the Big Push. Ren has so many influences in music that it is hard to pick out which one he sounds like. Some of the Rock ones are, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Rage Against the Machine and more.

[@MalcolmMXTaylor]

Great reaction guys!! It amazes me how ren has so much variety in what he makes we really never know what we gonna get! His next release tomorrow...

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

[@insidiousbeatz48]

I'll give you guys a 1 up on uk music, we have a massive influx of amazing peoples from the Caribbean and it's directly influenced al parts of our culture, including music. Which will in small part explain Rens cadences

[@mwcarroll91]

You need to do “Lost all faith” by Ren. It’s got a blend of rap and some rockish vibes in the chorus. It’s one of my favorites of his, I’m sure you guys will dig it! Also “Fire” by Ren has rock vibes

[@vw9227]

Wow. First time I've seen an Oregon Trail design shirt. Gotta get one for nostalgia.

[@babyhuey4131]

Ren is magnificent ! He is more than anyone else Ren is a legend . Money Game 1and 2 you have to see and Money Game 3 is brilliance ! His emotion touches the heart if it doesn't touch anyones heart they never had a heart to begin with. Ren is a genius he is fantistic . Put on Jenny ,Screech and Violet which belongs on broadway it is a masterpiece ! O My woman is so good ! Ren is the greatest artist of our time and he is beautiful inside and out. Ren is an amazing story teller also Put on Right Here Right Now Rens work is the best ! And Message In A Bottle is great.

[@patriciacloix71]

Hello les gars très très bonne réaction c'est la, meilleur version pur chef d'œuvre REN est unique artiste complet et sa voix me transporte très loin.. Merci infiniment 💖🙏🎸🎶👍👏🎵🎼🇫🇷

[@user-jp3lv5mb8r]

"Fire" off freckled angels has big time Red Hot Chili Pepper vibes

[@amyaeschbach3581]

Also Have you watched ran in the big push busking live of I shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/hip-hop? Amazing another side of Ren? What can he not do??? You mentioned the slight sound of Jamaican vibe in his voice. You are absolutely going nuts listening to his pure reggae vibe!❤

[@user-to2yi3hr3o]

Great take fellas, YOU missed the Message switch with the riff at the start of the second verse... Sly Ren slipped that puppy in there.

[@DogDocKat]

This was brilliant! Check out Ren's song Fire - it is older but definitely has rock vibes. 💜💜

[@doreentowle9984]

Eagles, Hotel California, the boys could humanize. Love to see your reaction. Cheers from Vancouver Island in Canada.

[@Qmocean]

Highly recommend you check out Jungle. This song and its original video are part of full length musical short film. It's incredible and I only just check it out yesterday.

[@alvajjoe]

I believe he is working on a Rock album. That is his next project.

[@alvajjoe]

The Oregon Trail game. I played that game 1989 in seventh grade

[@greenmonster4918]

You guys may be in luck with Sublime.... Ren's latest round of retakes has been 1 Easter egg in the song which leads to the next song... Fred again had something that hinted back on 74, back on 74 mentioned Nas, Nas retake mentions 'rest in peace mac', which led to Mackay, & in the Mackay video (instrumental) he is wearing a sublime sweatshirt!

[@DuelerDog55555]

Ren has an old original rock song called Fire you need to check out ❤

[@lleldridge1]

Fantastic reaction, gents! Enjoyed your edits as well. 😉😜 I can't get enough of this track, been on repeat since it dropped. 🔥🔥🔥 Big luv to Kai and the ladies, Sam on camera. Chef's 💋

[@aNomadicSasquatch]

Enjoyed the reaction. You may want to check out "Ren - Crutch ft Bibi" for some heavy vocals :)

[@AlSnoopsReid]

Sadly you missed "Wax strip groove Don't stay still When I make that move" Naughty but that's Ren. He's no 😇😇😇😇😇

[@stevehartley7504]

Try his, Hold On

[@portiadavenport9866]

Here's a short clip of behind the scenes/rehearsals for this track he put on his instagram kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYq2lKKYmZJjasU Only Ren could continue working and creating whilst having an IV Drip in his arm!! Dedication :)

[@rmccor7065]

You might want to check out Ren and The Big Push performing The Guns of Brixton by The Clash

[@mrdarengilbert3907]

Listen to “fire” you guys won’t be disappointed

[@hilarycharman-2924]

Nice reaction, thank you. Its about a road.

[@stewrmo]

Edit looking on point lads! One love from Scotland. 💙

[@kathleenswift7979]

Watch The Big Push doing What Kind of Woman Is This 😁

[@icyravens]

Last time I stopped by your channel, you were trying to figure out if NF or Ren was a "better rapper". I look at Ren doing songs like this, and just kinda chuckle at the question... there's genuinely not any other current musician I know of (not that I'm an expert) that touches on as many genres as Ren does, especially as well as he does. This track is so much fun! BTW, you mentioned the Rat Pack... Ren does a WICKED impression of Frank Sinatra. 😎 It's sort of boggling tbh.

[@jacks9624]

Yey, Editor-san! Loved it!

[@kathybrown6763]

Loved your reaction guys.

[@dirkdiggler0372]

This song is definitely influenced by Plan B! It's got similarities to She said! Ren often mentions Plan B as someone he looked upto.

[@derekmclaughlin4145]

Shout out Oregon Trail!

Nice guys thanks

[@spruce381]

Looks like a boot hill t shirt - blocky shooter game.

[@Qmocean]

If you wanna see Ren singing rock music you just need to dive into The Big Push. Which will also have you diving into Romain and Gorran's solo work.

[@zigman63]

Grown men apparently

[@newguy2878]

Listen to rens song "Fire". It's more of a rock song

[@francesdoll4039]

You cut out part of the already too short message??😢

[@allenabrams-dw4hy]

You seen the American Dad episode on Oregon Trail?

[@millennialxreactions]

I have not, I don't know about bill. I didn't watch to many American dad episodes but family guy is a different story.

[@allenabrams-dw4hy]

@millennialxreactions at least give that episode a view, it's great. Love your stuff. Keep it solid.

[@millennialxreactions]

@@allenabrams-dw4hy Will do! We appreciate you.

[@ukdnbmarsh]

ent been no good backup singers since Bob Marley and The Wailers

[@Codex7777]

Pausing on every single transition, major or minor? Really?

[@Codex7777]

It wouldn't be so bad if you actually rewound a few seconds after each of those many pauses, so that you didn't miss anything but you either didn't rewind, or rewound half a second. You can do it however you like, of course but you're missing some of the best lines and best transitions by not doing so.

[@user-dj3eu2ew4v]

Guys, there is no need to see if you can break a record for pausing. I am trying to like the channel but literally pausing every 2 lines robs you and your viewers. Seriously. It will have the same impact waiting. Take advantage of the luxury of an independent artist that supports reactors so you don't have to pause for copy write. The creators that pause the least have the largest audiences. that isn't coincidence. this reaction was beyond frustrating because as much as I like you both I had to unsubscribe.

[@z-manneversleeps900]

Or you could just go listen to the song without interruption.

[@millennialxreactions]

I understand where you're coming from but it actually takes away from the artist. The full version should be watched on their channel. We are here to just have fun and give our thoughts.

[@millennialxreactions]

And actually the biggest KZbinr's are ones who break down lyrics or do vocal analysis and they pause very very often. Many of them with well over 1 million subscribers
