Upcoming artist Renao is a singer, songwriter, and producer who puts his own pop-influenced spin on guitar-led alternative R&B, a sound in no way confined to the bedroom in which he makes it. An authentic, approachable artist, 23-year-old Renao eschewed a career as an Olympic Badminton hopeful to create art that references the aspirations of American youth and pop culture, across road trips, house parties, and beach fires at sunset. As a brand new and truly global artist – born in India with time spent studying music in Leeds, UK, and a fascination with American culture – looking to establish a global fanbase in 2022, TikTok proved a natural home for Renao, with a teaser campaign and responsive community built around debut single ‘Nobody’. Each teaser video Renao posts shares the same simple backdrop – a nondescript bedroom wall filled with posters – and while the setting isn’t out of the ordinary it has quickly become iconic, and a key part of a teaser campaign now that picked well over 15,000 pre-saves. With the release of his newest single “Holding My Breath”, he projects a dreamy sound that will definitely grasp your attention. Beginning with nostalgic instrumentation leading onto his smooth and sultry vocals he completes the track fully. Explaining the song a bit further it’s about sometimes not feeling like you fit in and wanting to hide away, it touches on those moments of wanting to feel wanted and loved by others, also missing the touch of certain people in your life. To the vocals and production, this single surely have you vibing. It would be just great for a late-night drive or taking a walk down the beach after dawn. Go stream “Holding My Breath” and check out his discography which is filled with amazing music.
