I love hearing reactors getting inspired to be more creative or amped up to learn something after watching Ren. He's an inspiration to so many - work wise, art wise, and just to be a better human in this mad world.
Thanks for another Ren reaction. I enjoy your comments and honesty. He is a huge Sting fan. So I would suggest you watch the “big push”English man in New York” which is a cover of sting is the whole song.
This was filmed in the bar Valentinos in Brighton. Ladies are from Brighton. From concept to filming 10 days. Ren does all the mixing s orobably adds snap to the claps.
Musicians, such as yourself, get it on another level. You are a pleasure to listen to. This song is so smooth, I popped a breath mint in. Thank you for sharing your heart
hello dear!! thanks for the great reaction to our man ren. it's my understand that this was recorded in a club in brighton when ren was home for christmas last year. they had to finish b4 it was time to open the doors to the public!! ren and crew are sick af!!!!!!!!! a return to the motown sound!! kathleen 🙃
Yay, you caught the MIAB riff! I'm always sad when a reactor who's excited/interested to hear MIAB misses Ren weaving the riff into 74 (edit - but it's completely understandable when that happens of course!) I think(?) what he's done is to recognize the 2nds/9ths being used in Jungle's song, and then structure his bass+guitar parts to highlight them (I think by dropping the 3rd out of his arrangement as often as he can) to leave you with that MIAB "feel." It's what makes the bass+guitar feel... "haunting" or "weird" or whatever here, versus when you listen to Jungle's original sure, those unusual-for-pop intervals feel "different" but Jungle's keeping plenty of 3rds in the arrangement and the 2nds/9ths aren't as in-your-face, so the original song has a "happier" feel to it (beyond the faster tempo). He hammers the point home by using the MIAB guitar effect for the whole song. When he gently twists Jungle's arrangement this way, the MIAB feels entirely at home showing up under the melody in the middle there (and even people who know MIAB is coming often miss it on first listen), and I think it's why the 2 songs work so seamlessly together. I think there's also something about the rhythm of Back on 74's melody that echoes something in the rhythm of the MIAB riff too, but I haven't tried to tease that apart yet to see if my hunch is right, so maybe I'm off-base on that one.
One thing to really pay attention to with Ren: he is a master at maximizing simplicity! He can be more captivating with a single instrument than some multi-piece bands can be in an entire career. He makes use of EVERYTHING at his disposal: especially, for example a room's acoustics. IMNSHO, he's a musical alchemist!
Back on 74 is from a new artist called jungle! But don’t get it confused with a rave scene called jungle music in the uk , he says massive like jungle, a shout out to the artist, but flip it around and that’s junglist massive ! A term used by mcs at jungle raves ! Hope it made sense coz Americans ain’t gonna get that bar
Hard to compare War Pigs and this as The Big Push had one shot at it in an uncontrolled environment, but this is just a super smooth vibe all around…the backup singers hopefully will make a return in his upcoming releases🔥🔥🔥!
Hello! First time listener. Enjoyed your reaction and respect for Ren's talents and meticulous attention to detail. Linking below the original music video to 'Back on 74' by Jungle. Amazing in its own right. Ren's take is a different vibe but stays true to the feel of the original. Also, as you like hearing Ren's message, I think you'll appreciate his video on reaching One Million Subscribers. There's not, in my opinion, anyone in the music industry (or anywhere else , actually) who I've witnessed demonstrate such a genuine and deep level of grace, gratitude, emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and humility while also sharing his views on society, the medical industry, and encouraging the betterment of humanity and care for our planet.

Looking forward to witnessing your Ren journey! 🙋♀️💖
Yeah, in the second verse when he lowers his voice, he's playing the message in a bottle riff. Strange that it blends so well, many don't seem to notice. Probably more noticeable if you're a little more familiar with back on 74 I suppose.
Do glad you did this one. I agree, this is much better than War Pigs to me. This is Ren's vision. He uses the Sure SM7B for all his live performances. This is my favorite live performance of his. He threw in everything but the kitchen sink. He plays the Message in Bottle lick in the other song which is what you're hearing.
Interesting. I mean they are two totally different genres. One with Big Push on the street and this just totally different. I love War Pigs for what it is...and this for what it is.
Yep no edits, no overdubs, done straight through, live. For a metal head you do understand and appreciate various aspects of recording and you recognize talent when you hear it.
Again, you have to urgently listen to Animal Flow acoustic version by Ren on a bus. Seeing and hearing that will blow your brains out. Greetings from a metalhead and of course already subscribed.
If you give Ren any song suggestion, he'll quickly name 5 other tunes you can mash up with it. His mind definitely works that way. Love your vibe - feel like I'm sitting at the kitchen table chatting with you.
Southern Americans are so much closer to British people it is crazy. It's like the last 250 years haven't changed you guys and you're still us. Same thing with Australians and Canadians.
It is not a cover, it's a retake :) Meaning: the original struck a cord of creativity in Ren, so he played with the core idea and created something new
@@rockdariff have you seen or heard of the drummer, el estapario siberiano? If not you should do a reaction.... plays slipknot one handed..... he may be the best drummer of all time. No shit.
Why dont u reach out to Ren n ask what equipment he uses , he dont mind sharing info ..... great reaction i loved the Police when i was young many many moons ago lol 🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼
❤Thank you for reacting to Ren, his versatility is incredible. I see that you have a lot of King Gizz on your page, I’ve been following them since 2016 and have been lucky to have seen them live several times in Seattle!❤
Filmed in a pub in brighton not a studio 😊

Yes, he was also incorporating the chords from Message in a Bottle into the lyrics from Back on 74. A true mashup!

wrong drummer - the drummer in the Police was Stewart Copeland. Neil Pert was in Rush
Ahhhh…damn i hate i messed that up…my brother use to say stewart copeland all the time🤦🏻♂️
I wish I was sitting in that pub watching Ren and Kai and the backup singers. Nice reaction

It’s a bar in Brighton called Valentino’s 🇬🇧
You have to listen to Fred again mashup
- him and his apartment and just his guitar.

It's a huge joy, isn't it?!...
It's our ARTIST... Ren!
So good!
Thanks for the reaction.
Listening to this song feels like slipping into a warm bath.
Ren and company are in a bar in Brighton called Bar Valentino--a 1920's styled vintage look.
Yep no edits, no overdubs, done straight through, live.
For a metal head you do understand and appreciate various aspects of recording and you recognize talent when you hear it.
He gives a shout out to the original Back on 74 artist, after his rap,. Massive like Jungle !
So glad you're enjoying Ren! 🙂 I agree, Ren is very inspiring.
This is such a beautiful vibe.
Yo, nice Archspire shirt dude! Metalheads for Ren! X

REN NEVER MISSES!!!
Fire! What a vibe!

Soul music love it 🎶💖💕
My understanding is that they only had the pub to record in for two hours.
New subscriber here for your Ren reactions 😊
He played with that Msg in a bottle riff the whole time
Stewart Copeland is the drummer of the Police 😊
❤❤❤
Southern Americans are so much closer to British people it is crazy.

This one is SLICK !
It is not a cover, it's a retake :) Meaning: the original struck a cord of creativity in Ren, so he played with the core idea and created something new
They have a BTS for this.
Sometime you should react to The Big Push Praise You (Fatboy Slim cover)
Stuart copeland;) my favorite drummer. Neal pert was in rush;)
Yea i was smacking my forehead when i realized i got the drummer mixed up
@@rockdariff have you seen or heard of the drummer, el estapario siberiano? If not you should do a reaction.... plays slipknot one handed..... he may be the best drummer of all time. No shit.
@@crook8468 yeaaaa i watch his clips on tik tok…hes insane for sure
@@rockdariff che k some of his long form covers.... its brain bending. He's a machine🤯
Why dont u reach out to Ren n ask what equipment he uses , he dont mind sharing info ..... great reaction i loved the Police when i was young many many moons ago lol 🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼
🔥❤✌
There are some other A/B rigged mics for the claps out of sight of the camera.
I believe it’s a cover.
Its because it was super classy!
That is why it was better than war pigs.
❤Thank you for reacting to Ren, his versatility is incredible. I see that you have a lot of King Gizz on your page, I’ve been following them since 2016 and have been lucky to have seen them live several times in Seattle!❤
Neil perk was not there drummer that was rush my guy
