They're both independent. The songs they sing thus far are written by Ren. Ren calls Chinchilla his sister. Both are incredible. Together they're dynamite! More Ren! More Chinchilla!
Not sure whether Chinchilla was signed recently but her new song "Cut You Off" in "CHINCHILLA - Topic" YT channel has in the credits the following: "℗ An Island Records recording; ℗ 2023 CHINCHILLA Music Ltd, under exclusive licence to Universal Music Operations Limited"
@@TuPham-gn9vt I read that she'd had such sudden/unexpectedly big success with Little Girl Gone that her whole next year plan that she'd set out for herself got blown out of the water, so she has now signed so that she has the help in place, but after her previous experiences this time it's very much on her own terms.
@@TuPham-gn9vtmy understanding is that she has a distribution deal, not a production deal and she has full creative control over all her work, can continue to self produce, and the distributor has no say on what she does.
The song speaks on grief and how you forget how to be yourself when you lose someone so suddenly, someone so impactful. This song refers to the grief of having had lost his friend Joe as he went through a long period of depression after his suicide. Anyway Glad you guys are checking out his music. If you get a chance,listen to uninvited or any of the love music, especially part 4. People forget that Ren has a funny side a lot of the time so a lot of good humorous music goes unnoticed.
They have another video of them performing the song "Sexual Healing" on the street corner. They each describe the other one as their "Musical Siblings".
After doing his Hip Hop album, Ren has said he will be going back more to his singing with a guitar for his next album, much of it he says is written. I hope some of it will be more duets with Chinchilla. Indeed it would be nice to have some of it with the Big Push too.
It’s a song about when a loved one takes their life what is a brother without a sibling? a father without a son? A husband without a wife? Can they be themselves as theyre haunted in mourning for the dearly departed? when a piece of you dies you forget how to be you.
Ren wrote this song as a continuation of his ode to his childhood friend Joe who committed suicide, he’s done several. Ren and Chinchilla are both independent artists.. both amazing, and certainly amazing as a duo. Great reaction, thanks!!
there is no proof of that happening, nor is there any proof he jumped from the bridge. Police could not confirm any reports of anyone jumping from that bridge or could place Joe near it, just because his phone pinged near it doesn't mean he was on it to jump. No body has been ever found either, and bodies do float eventually, unless weighted. In that case they should of found his body if it was weighted down.
They We’re both with the same label years ago and left at the same time and thus began a long dialogue about being independent artist and the rest is history
Gives me chills every time. If somehow he found himself performing live at a televised award show, be it the Grammys or MTV or what have you, this is the song I want to see performed and with her. Pretty sure the song is about his friend that committed suicide jumping off a bridge and not knowing how to feel after a long period of grieving. "When he gave up the fight, a quick decision late in the night, that stayed with me for all of my life, I miss you so."
This song is about Ren dealing with the grief of losing his childhood friend Joe at the age of 19 when he jumped off a bridge. If you haven't done so yet you should really do Ren's songs Suic!de and For Joe in that order. The first is about the view from both sides of Suic!de. The second is sort of an ode to his friend. Both are stunningly beautiful and well worth a watch. ❤
They are both completely independent. They used to have the same management. The first time they worked together was Chalk Outlines. There are studio versions of this and Chalk Outlines. Chinchilla “Elements” I guarantee it will surprise you. She just recently put out a new single called “Cut you Off” and believe it or not no one loses any appendages in it 😉😂❤️
It's from the perspective of someone suffering severe depression. The have an inability to cope with the despair and is suffering with their own perceived hopelessness and feeling alone and broken and suicidal... the last bit is from the perspective of the one left behind after the person took their own life. It's about his friend, Joe, who jumped from a bridge when they were in their late teens. And the last bit is himself. I've been on both sides of the noose, so to speak. It's a dark place to be in and you can't see any way out but one. You aren't trying to hurt anyone. You're not really thinking about anyone else at all. You just want to stop the endless pain. It's a selfish decision, but not in a hateful way. You just can't see past the darkness. It's everything and you literally can't see anything or anyone else. And when you're left behind, the pain is unlike any other. When someone passes from their own hand it leaves a wound that never really heals. It's the worst kind of hurt. Almost a betrayal, but one that leaves you feeling guilty and wondering, because it didn't have to happen. There's no closure, no healing. It stays with you. If you have a loved one who seems to be in a bit of a bad place reach out. Or the funny people in your life. Just check in on them. The caretakers too. Actually, just make sure you tell those you love that you love them and you care. Make sure to check in. Sometimes that hand is the light that someone needs to see a path through. Or even a few steps ahead. Trust me, sometimes we just need to hear that we aren't alone. 🌻💜 hugs to all who need one. And to anyone who needs to know it; you are loved and you are not alone. You are important. Reach out to your friends and let them know when you are hurting. There are people who would truly hurt and miss you. From someone who's been there and who cares.❤
Love that y’all did this one! I feel these lyrics so hard.🖤 But They’re so great together..they’re harmonies r amazing!! I wish they’d do an album together!
I’m surprised you haven’t already done this one as it’s one of his best written sons.And yes it’s mainly about his own health struggles and his friend Joe. They are so good together “ Ren and Daisy”.The “For Joe” live performance is stellar ❤❤❤.
Love Ren and Chinchilla!!! Chinchilla has a new lyric video out for her new song, "Cut You Off." I don't think there's an official music video. It's a great song. There's also some videos of Ren and Chinchilla busking together. Chinchilla is independent like Ren, they had the same management team and are both now independent. The label treated Chinchilla badly. Little Girl Gone by Chinchilla is a song aimed at her old label but it is also a girl power song! Fingers Live for HungerTV by Chinchilla is amazing as well! Btw, you guys might want to check out Nova Rockafeller (Tom MacDonald's girlfriend) just put out a very impactful song called "Lost Girls" last Friday, November 10th. It would be great to see you guys react to it, it's a little bit outside of her normal genre. Nova raps, sings, plays instruments, and she is the videographer for almost all of her and Tom's music videos and this is her first fully independent song since she signed with Island Def Jam over 12 years ago! She was finally able to cut the last string with the music industry so this song is very important to her and she's such an amazing artist and genuine human being that it would be awesome for her first independent song to get #1 on the Billboards, it would be another example that artists can do this independently if they put in the work! Just like Tom MacDonald, Adam Calhoun, Ren, etc.... All of the independent artists that are able to top charts without the machine backing them! ❤❤
Most definitely you guys are Renegades! Glad to have you at the party! Love watching you guys. Also love the Sublime shirt, one of my favorite bands, though they suckered love cuz they were always wasted. 😂
You guys are genuine and have great chemistry but you need to gaze into each others eyes to seal the deal ;-) This has really grown on me so I now prefer it to the superb 'chalk outlines'. Something magical happens in this performance, if Ren and Chinchilla are singing in a forest do the trees cry? Would love to see you react to 'Uninvited' from his Sick Boi album, laughter guaranteed! Cheers guys and thanks for always making me smile.
I was nothing but the best for you all with your health, wealth and family.😊❤🎉 And I hope this channel can stay on RUclips for many, many more years to come.😊
I forgot how to be me during my chemo treatments. I was alone in a bed in the basement during the winter. Praying to God. Hallelujah. When I don’t know how to be. Thanks for your reaction guys!!
It's not up to anybody but you 2 if you can call yourself Renegades now or not. I'd say it seems like you are to me! Everyone should be, he's too amazing to miss out on imo!
I also love the REN and Chinchilla busking covers in Brighton I think. Those are worth checking out: Sexual Healing, and One Dance… they are amazing together live !
salut les gars wouahhhh encore un pu chef d'œuvre je suis tellement émue OMG cest tellement beau bon mais mon cœur explose d'émotions scotchée l Harmonie duo époustouflant continuez REN merci infiniment vos réactions absolument excellente ❤🙏👍👏
6:57 She absolutely knows what he is going through in this moment looking into his soul... "I don't feel safe in my bed voices in my head talking to the dead. Fear and Sin follow me over the valleys and hills below; back home. It suffocates me...Wish I could get out of this tomb (Joe's own mind)" Ren wrote this from Joe's perspective in my opinion... You get to the end of the song and as Ren does so often he then breaks the 4th wall and says, "When HE gave up the fight, the decision he made stayed with me for the rest of my life. I miss you so." This was yet another song influenced by his best friend Joe who took his own life... Others include; Freckled Angels, Su!c!de, For Joe (which he song live for Joe's Family this year). "I forgot how to be me". The song Freckled Angel talks about how happy and cheerful Joe was...
Ren has often referred to Chinchilla as his musical soulmate. The song was dedicated to his friend Joe who, like in this video being filmed on top of a bridge, jumped off a bridge never to be found again. The last solo lines were directly about it
Ren and Chinchilla were under the same management at one point -- they both left and are both 100% independent, and both really hitting their stride right now and getting the attention they deserve. It's fantastic to see. To hear. :D Psychosis? Noooo, it's grief. At the end Ren is talking about his friend who died, the song is about grief. Grief hurts so much you forget how to be you.
Chinchilla was just on “The Voice” in UK and only Tom Jones didn’t turn his chair for her, I’m hoping she will do this song at some stage during process,
His psychosis came from the Lyme disease from his tick bite... made worse by being untreated, and instead treatment for mental health illnesses... and then as a kicker, the anabolic steroids used to treat the bacterial infection and the inflammation of the brain.... well those cause psychosis too.,.. but at least they treated the underlying illness and stopped him from dying. The song is about his psychosis and also his sense of loss from the loss of his best friend Joe, who jumped from the Menai bridge and was killed, with the body never recovered. He is a recurring figure in Ren's music, the eponymous 'Freckled Angel' of his first album, and the subject of the final stanza of Su!cide.
This is such a powerful song. I much prefer this live version over the recorded version. This one is slowed down and their “ooo ooo’s” in the recorded version has strong instruments instead.
I couldn't put my finger on what makes these two sound so good together, until another reactor, @PrymalChaos, said something about the skills needed to do a proper duet, and how Ren x Chinchilla broke all the rules. He was on to something, see when two or more people sing together, they sing a little different, compromise a bit, so they can stay in pitch and harmonize with each other, When Ren x Chinchilla sing together there is no compromise, no singing different, in this song and "Chalk Outlines" , they both are singing as if they are singing solo, not afraid to bend a note or add some grit. Despite that though, they always seem to know where the other one is at, vocal wise, and their tones and notes sang, weave in and out of each other, never clashing, but just missing each other, like two dragonfly's dancing around each other mid air. and it just seems so effortless to them, yet the end result is such sweetness on our ears. Great reaction as usual guys!! ✌💚
Great stuff. You've now done both of their amazing original songs, but they also have two wonderful busking videos if you're interested (covering Marvin Gaye and Beyonce/Drake). Cheers.
You definitely are true RENegades mates, and you are Chinny Kinghts too. Most reactors assume it's Ren's song and Chinchilla is just singing on it. You immediately nailed it assuming they wrote it together. ❤🔥
Yo, you guys need to check out The Big Push "What Kind of Women is This" Live version. It's bluesy with some Jimi thrown in. I really think you guys would like it.
This song is a about Joe! They are on the bridge where Joe jumped and Ren was just a few mins late to save him & didn't get there in time 😢. It's haunted him ever since! Ren & Chinchilla are special. You need to look more into both more please!
Long time viewer here, followed your journey through discovering Tool which was dope! Imma drop a recommendation. Cattle Decapitation - Solastalgia. These guys are super talented with what they do!
fun reaction! lets try something for you guys that is more your speed! try Seven Sins its the first track on his name album its one of my fav right now! hugs all around
You guys have got to watch when Ren takes Chinchilla busking for her first time they do cover songs a Drunk in Love and Sexual Healing. Idk what songs they did on what video cause my ADHD mind is always forgetting stuff but you’ll see when you go check it out. There’s two videos of them together busking and she says in her interview with Chris Liepe that she was so nervous at first but she absolutely loved it and she thinks that’s her favorite way to sing now it in the streets! Love you guys!❤
Wassup fellas? I know I normally suggest JINJER tracks... When Two Empires Collide... But I think y'all should check out the band STAIND a song called SPLEEN. Maybe for next Nü-Metal Monday!
U 2 should listen to the studio version of Suite Pee by SOAD, goes hard af 🔥 and the 1997 demo is even heavier imo (even tho I prefer the demo, the studio version is amazing) there's a 1995 demo as well and I rly like it it's heavy af sounds like black metal/death metal or metalcore but it sounds awful like under cave/water sound quality and Serj sounds so low, the sound quality is awful but for some reason I love it 😂

Chinchilla is also independent 😊
Y'all need to check Chinchilla 's song called Finger's Hunter tv live performance, she is amazing and it really shows her vocal range
They're both independent. The songs they sing thus far are written by Ren. Ren calls Chinchilla his sister. Both are incredible. Together they're dynamite! More Ren! More Chinchilla!

Ren is officially a #1 in the UK as a independent artist! He made history🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤look up his reaction to hearing it on the radio! Classic reaction!

Ren is performing it on the very bridge joe jumped from
@stubyles1654 no this is performed on a rooftop and only the outro is about Joe. They wrote the song together one night about losing oneself in life
They are both completely independent. They used to have the same management. The first time they worked together was Chalk Outlines. There are studio versions of this and Chalk Outlines.
Chinchilla “Elements” I guarantee it will surprise you. She just recently put out a new single called “Cut you Off” and believe it or not no one loses any appendages in it 😉😂❤️
You are absolutely Renegades!
This is such a beautiful duet and they sound so amazing!! ❤❤
One of my favorites! Nice to see you explore more of Ren.
Have now watched this about 100 times and it still gives me chills. My favorite Ren x Chinchilla song❤
Both are independent artists
You’re right they write together so well and are great vocally together too - chemistry works 😊

Another great reaction guys. ‘Seven Sins’ from his new album you might wanna check out 🔥
Thanks for doing more Ren ❤
Love that y’all did this one! I feel these lyrics so hard.🖤 But They’re so great together..they’re harmonies r amazing!! I wish they’d do an album together!
Well it took you boys long enough but better late than never to witness performance perfection
Oh hell yeah, been waiting for y'all to find this one.
I love Ren and Chinchilla so much!! So happy you did this reaction. Now I'm waiting for you to react to the new Beatles song, Now and Then!! PLEASE???
I’m surprised you haven’t already done this one as it’s one of his best written sons.And yes it’s mainly about his own health struggles and his friend Joe. They are so good together “ Ren and Daisy”.The “For Joe” live performance is stellar ❤❤❤.

Seven Sins a Ren must!
Pure talent ❤❤
Most definitely you guys are Renegades! Glad to have you at the party! Love watching you guys.

I was totally hoping someone would do a reaction to this one - haven’t seen many. I’m getting addicted to Ren Reactions 😅
If you haven’t reacted to Ren and Sam, what went wrong 1 & 2 check it out, one of my favourites
That was so good! I love how well they mesh together!!! This is an awesome reaction! Oh and they both are independent artists so you know:). 🤓❤️
I was nothing but the best for you all with your health, wealth and family.😊❤🎉 And I hope this channel can stay on RUclips for many, many more years to come.😊
Love your reaction, especially when you both enjoy the music with closed eyes
I forgot how to be me during my chemo treatments. I was alone in a bed in the basement during the winter. Praying to God. Hallelujah. When I don’t know how to be. Thanks for your reaction guys!!
This was written after his friend Joe took his own life. The last few lines of the song directly addresses this.
I'd like to hear Sam Tomkins and Chinchilla do something too. But yeah definitely more from these two.
Agreed together Ren and Chinchilla are magic!
It's not up to anybody but you 2 if you can call yourself Renegades now or not. I'd say it seems like you are to me! Everyone should be, he's too amazing to miss out on imo!
These 2 together are absolutely spectacular
I also love the REN and Chinchilla busking covers in Brighton I think. Those are worth checking out: Sexual Healing, and One Dance… they are amazing together live !
Love this one so much, its one of my favs! Also, totally digging the sublime t-shirt 😊💜💜
salut les gars wouahhhh encore un pu chef d'œuvre je suis tellement émue OMG cest tellement beau bon mais mon cœur explose d'émotions scotchée l Harmonie duo époustouflant continuez REN merci infiniment vos réactions absolument excellente ❤🙏👍👏

As it says on your t shirt hollywood. This song is sublime.
They gel so well together. Prefer Chalk Outlines but this one is fire as well.
Great reaction guys. This duet performance has to go down in history as one of the best ever made, anywhere, anytime.
Y'all have been one of my favorite reaction channels ever since your reaction to Simple Man
Ren and Chinchilla were under the same management at one point -- they both left and are both 100% independent, and both really hitting their stride right now and getting the attention they deserve. It's fantastic to see. To hear. :D
Psychosis? Noooo, it's grief. At the end Ren is talking about his friend who died, the song is about grief. Grief hurts so much you forget how to be you.
We need an album from them for sure
You should watch Chinchilla's songs Fingers (live), Little Girl Gone (official music video), and Elements (lyric video).
Boys u allways been renegades fact like us! 😊
Absofuckinglutely love you two. You get it. It's brilliant to see
Your T- shirt said it all SUBLIME !
Chinchilla was just on “The Voice” in UK and only Tom Jones didn’t turn his chair for her, I’m hoping she will do this song at some stage during process,
❤❤🏴🏴
This is a song about his best friend Joe Hughes.....they perform it on the bridge joe jumped from.
love this song.
Y'all are Renegades in my book 🔥🔥🔥
His psychosis came from the Lyme disease from his tick bite... made worse by being untreated, and instead treatment for mental health illnesses... and then as a kicker, the anabolic steroids used to treat the bacterial infection and the inflammation of the brain.... well those cause psychosis too.,.. but at least they treated the underlying illness and stopped him from dying.
The song is about his psychosis and also his sense of loss from the loss of his best friend Joe, who jumped from the Menai bridge and was killed, with the body never recovered.

This is such a powerful song. I much prefer this live version over the recorded version. This one is slowed down and their “ooo ooo’s” in the recorded version has strong instruments instead.
Renchilla has to be the name of the group they create lol. And please please do more songs together!

Definitely more Renilla!
Yo, you guys need to check out The Big Push "What Kind of Women is This" Live version. It's bluesy with some Jimi thrown in. I really think you guys would like it.
You have to check out his Album it's so fire
This song is a about Joe! They are on the bridge where Joe jumped and Ren was just a few mins late to save him & didn't get there in time 😢. It's haunted him ever since! Ren & Chinchilla are special. You need to look more into both more please!
I’m in for Chinchilla nights 🔥
Long time viewer here, followed your journey through discovering Tool which was dope! Imma drop a recommendation. Cattle Decapitation - Solastalgia. These guys are super talented with what they do!
Chalk outlines and How to be me are both written by chinchilla and Ren - confirmed by both of them
Ren wrote this one himself. There’s even a busking video of just him singing it between Big Push songs.

You guys have got to watch when Ren takes Chinchilla busking for her first time they do cover songs a Drunk in Love and Sexual Healing. Idk what songs they did on what video cause my ADHD mind is always forgetting stuff but you’ll see when you go check it out. There’s two videos of them together busking and she says in her interview with Chris Liepe that she was so nervous at first but she absolutely loved it and she thinks that’s her favorite way to sing now it in the streets! Love you guys!❤
Got 1 why did Elvis where high collered shirts? He was embarrassed about his long neck

Wassup fellas? I know I normally suggest JINJER tracks... When Two Empires Collide... But I think y'all should check out the band STAIND a song called SPLEEN. Maybe for next Nü-Metal Monday!
Fingers live version. By chinchilla

U 2 should listen to the studio version of Suite Pee by SOAD, goes hard af 🔥 and the 1997 demo is even heavier imo (even tho I prefer the demo, the studio version is amazing) there's a 1995 demo as well and I rly like it it's heavy af sounds like black metal/death metal or metalcore but it sounds awful like under cave/water sound quality and Serj sounds so low, the sound quality is awful but for some reason I love it 😂
Rumor has it that this video was done on the same bridge that his friend, Joe, jumped from
You could call it Renchilla. 😂😂😂😂
More Ren 🎶
❤❤
He released chalk outlines years before he did it with chinchilla
