    Good timing - Sam just released his first album yesterday.
    The story of how Ren and Sam met is really sweet. Sam is a few years younger than Ren. He was 16, busking in Brighton with no amp and no guitar or backing track. Ren was on the way home after his own busking session and stood listening and chatted to Sam's mate (seems that mate was Connor, who now works for Ren). When Sam finished the song Ren offered his amp and played guitar for Sam, because he was so impressed by his voice. A crowd gathered and Sam earned much more money.

      and here's them playing their song Blind Eyed for Music Crowns ruclips.net/video/6z7ug3B_Sts/видео.html It was their first taste of success. There are several live versions kicking around too as well as a music video.

    Just wait until you hear those two in Blind Eyed, it's their original song. There are several versions out there on YT and each one is special. Studio version with official video showcases their writing/producing talents, MC Session will blow you away and I recommend leaving "the angry park attendant" version for the end because you'll already know the song and you'll be able to fully appreciate the performance :D
    Man you have this whole Ren catalogue waiting for you to hear it for the first time and I'm a little jealous :) Ren by himself, and also many other artists which he introduced and who are part of his universe, jaw-dropping collaborations with Sam, Eden, Bibi

    This was GREAT to see.
    Showcasing each of their talents, without the gut punch.😉
    They used to post online when they were going to perform.
    Haul their amp and stuff in a wheelbarrow.
    They ended up having to block off streets, the crowd got so BIG.
    Ren is back home now and performing live at The Secret Garden Party.
    Sam Tompkins will be there. As well as Romain Axisa, a member of his former band The Big Push.
    It will be filmed. For those unable to go. Can't wait to see it.
    Really looking forward to seeing whatever direction this journey takes you.
    And of course I have my notifications on, set to ALL.
    Have a STELLAR evening.

    As I said on your reaction to The Big Push, Ren is a magnet for other talented artists 😅 Sam’s got that buttery smooth RnB voice. Personally though I much prefer Ren. He is so raw and unique. And that range! They’re a great duo though. You should definitely check out their collaborative songs Blind Eyed and What Went Wrong 1 and 2 ❤

  • @nrsvlda70
    @nrsvlda70 Месяц назад +1

    Great reaction, thank-you! A little background.. Ren first met Sam when Sam was busking by himself w/o a mic.. Ren was returning home with his equipment.. asked Sam if he wanted to use his mic and amp - the rest is history! As others have said - Sam just released his first album, and he’s been touring all over Europe. Ren has lifted up several extremely talented people - you’ll experience all of them as you continue your journey!

    We are all like you…
    If we walk passed this, we tell our bosses, “sorry, I need 6 minutes to listen and 45 to chill the hell out!

    8:31 This is my favorite part of this performance. They look at each other and just Go. 9:06 And again when Ren celebrates that note that Sam hit.
    This is what happens when artists have a real respect for the music and they put the music first. I have never seen or heard a musician that has enough “ ego” to put themselves out there but never the kind of ego that leads to the end of bands and friendships.❤

    Not too long ago Sam posted on social media a video clip of the first time they played together. Sam was busking with no mic or background music. Ren loaned him his mic and played guitar for him to help him out and let him keep the money they earned. If I'm not mistaken Sam was like 14 or 15 years old at the time. Ren has an amazing ability to spot talent and doesn't hesitate to lift others when he can. Part of the reason the Renegades love him so much. Sam is brilliant himself and I highly recommend checking out his other stuff with Ren as well as his solo work, you won't regret it.

    Am original song by Ren and Sam is Blind Eyed. There are a lot of versions on RUclips, but the Music Crowns session has the best sound mixing.
    Another AMAZING friend of Ren's is Chinchilla...check out their song Chalk Outlines (the live version).

But, since you noted your appreciation of older tunes.... Don't miss Ren and Chinchilla busking Marvin Gayes' "Sexual Healing".... sneak that one into the To Play list....you won't be disappointed..... Keep having fun my friend... there is a new and positive wave afoot!!!
    (In this regard...and as a drummer.... are you aware of Yoyoka? if not an absolute Must Check Out is her cover of Led Zepplin's "Good Times Bad Times" when she was eight years old (ruclips.net/video/91pz1E8pAOY/видео.html)....she is now 15-ish and vying to be one of the top drummers...period... For everyone who hasn't.... another must check out is the Kids Rock For Kids cover of Muse's "Hysteria" (ruclips.net/video/O96gF3UWbSo/видео.html) this collaboration with 11year old bassist Ellen Alaverdyan, 16 year old guitarist Charlotte Milstein, 14 yearold vocalist Vinya Chhabra .....as well as 9 year old guitarist Bay Melnick Virgolio.. and backing vocalist Ella Milstein ...is not only well worth a listen...it can be very inspiring for young musicians and will definitely warm the heart of everyone else... the future is going to be fun!!!!
