Ren Genevieve is a rising singer-songwriter whose new EP tongue tied is a heartfelt five-track story of love, uncertainty, and self-discovery. Filled with raw emotion and cinematic storytelling, "tongue tied" is an intimate soundtrack to the “what-ifs” of young adulthood.
Booting in at 21 minutes and 27 seconds, EP is a relatable exploration of nostalgia, yearning, and the bravery to let go and grow. Ren’s fragility meets strength as the aching strap of her voice floats atop warm instrumentals, intertwining fleeting indie pop with a little of that alt-folk vulnerability. With each song peeling back another layer of growth and nuanced contemplation, "tongue-tied" is an experience that resonates for anyone navigating the labyrinthine nature of youth.
Tracks like the excellent “Space” and “forts” underscore Ren’s transformative power of sound. “Space” is an intoxicating slow burn, one that portrays the aching space between two people who once thought themselves inseparable. “forts,” meanwhile, is an atmospheric anthem of childhood nostalgia, threading bittersweet melodies with heartfelt lyrics about the innocence of young love and the passage of time.
With tongue tied, Ren Genevieve establishes herself as an artist unafraid to bear her soul. Whether you’re reminiscing about relationships gone by or pondering an uncertain future, this EP is a reminder that each stanza, no matter how bittersweet, deserves to be felt.
