Interview with Renée: Unveiling the Essence of ‘Call U Mine’ and Her Artistic Journey

“Call U Mine,” Renée’s most recent song, is a captivating blend of dance, jazz, and garage with a pop sensibility. She explores the inspirations for this distinctive mash-up of genres, her early artistic endeavors, and her creative partnership with Curt Lopez Faulkner Jr. in this exclusive conversation. However, “Call U Mine” is more than just a song; it’s a contemplative and uplifting trip that delves into the nuanced intersection of love and personal development. Renée’s journey of self-discovery is reflected in her music, and she also reveals her vision for the future in it, pledging to work on more interesting projects and to fully celebrate her own perspective and story. Come along as we explore Renée’s fascinating world and “Call U Mine.”
“Call U Mine” by Renée is characterized as an enthralling fusion of dance, jazz, and garage with a pop influence. Could you explain the inspiration for this particular genre fusion in your most recent song?
I’ve been listening to a lot of Pink Pantheress, Raye, and Disco, among other artists, and I find the dance-garage fusion trend to be really intriguing because it gives you total creative freedom and a beat that never fails to work. I had also been listening to George Michael’s Listen Without Prejudice CD, and I really enjoy how he combines jazz with a pounding house sound. I put myself in a room with independent producer Curt Lopez Faulkner Jr., who is a fantastic jazz pianist, DJ, and producer, since I always imagined I could make a track like that.
You began using songs, plays, and poetry as a way to express yourself as a child growing up in the Netherlands. What impact did your early artistic activity have on your approach to music and style of songwriting?
Any Dutch person will tell you that most schools and funding programs severely undervalue art, and that pursuing it as a career is not always encouraged. However, composing poems was a release for me as a humorous, angsty child with a lot of nervous energy that needed to go somewhere. It always seemed to come from a source that just had all the answers, somewhere safe, outside of my own thoughts. I didn’t realize I could associate the songs in my thoughts with those exact phrases until I was ten years old. Even now, when I pretend to be writing something other than myself, I still produce my finest work. I prefer to believe that they have already been written; I’m simply finding the words to put them down.
Could you elaborate on the nature of your working relationship with Curt Lopez Jr. on “Call U Mine”? What part did personal experiences have in the song’s development and how did the creative process come to pass?
I entered his room, where he was working on a little studio piece. I told him I was interested in trying something soulful blended with garage. The song’s line, “start a fight so i can feel an emotion,” originates from my slightly heated state after having a phone dispute with my mother.
Curt played up this hammering beat, which I enjoyed, while I collected myself. Then he began to play these wonderful, lush jazz chords, and they made me think of this hook I had came up with in the middle of the night while half asleep while driving to the bathroom. I was singing, and Curt played it off, so it became the chorus. From there, the rest of the song kind of wrote itself.
Working with people who can feed off you and you off them is, in my opinion, far more vital than working with people who are inflexible in their demands. That’s when you can really bring the house down and craft the greatest song you can.
It seems that “Call You Mine” captures the conflict between love and development. What message do you want listeners to take away from this tune, and how do you strike a balance between these topics in your music?
In the end, you are free to immerse yourself in the song to the fullest. I hope it helps women accept their duality and makes them feel powerful and sexy. People are overly judgmental toward young women who are in love; you’re either a slut or a prude, and you can’t be both for a long. I could sing a little happy song about not knowing what I want, if the males could sing about knowing they wanna fuck girls. You only have one life to live, so embrace it fully and without constraint or fear of criticism, my love.
You said that instead of looking for a romantic connection, moving to London has allowed you to concentrate on your music and personal development. What impact has this self-discovery journey had on your songwriting and artistic direction?
In the six months in between my most recent releases, I’ve been exploring who I am as an artist and a woman. The important thing, in my opinion, is to express to the world how you view it and how you fit into it, not the other way around. I was so much happier and more productive after I gave up trying to fit into stereotypes and just did what I wanted to create. I consider the world as something to be explored and enjoyed, and I have a lot to prove in it.
I’ve made it my duty to embrace my extremes and make the most of them. I adore how this single’s cover art conveys that. Maximiliaan van Es, a Dutch artist who lives in the city and who I suggested should consider the idea of a dual lady, agreed and suggested that we Photoshop a kiss between my two personas. It’s a true reflection of me accepting who I am, mirroring the last six months of personal development and self-love.
It is said that “Call You Mine” is an inspiring and thoughtful trip. Could you describe the feelings and circumstances that gave rise to this song and how they are reflected in the melody?
Loving other people and developing myself is a constant battle for me in life. Just the instrumental version of Call U Mine effectively captures the conflict. I define personal progress as working on my body, mind, and music. boosting my own self-esteem, pursuing my passions, and building a life I truly want to live. The heart-pounding rhythm compel you to get up and exercise. Then there are those enticing and reassuring romantic chords. The first verse drives the lover away, yet in the second verse, I alter my mind. The lyrics are similarly contradictory. But it’s all said and done in the chorus.
Throughout your musical career, you have experimented with a variety of genres, including jazz rock and electronic R&B. What do you find most satisfying about this flexibility, and how do you go about mixing such a wide range of inspirations into your music?
I don’t sit down and decide to create a dance tune with jazz and other influences. Instead, I believe that the spheres give us ideas, and it is our responsibility as artists to communicate those ideas to the outside world, whatever they may be at any given moment. It’s my two sides at play, and if one runs out, I know I can always rely on the other. One day, that might be a profound soul ballad, and the next, it might be a worthless pop hymn about sex. For myself to be entertained and to stay interested, I need both of them. Otherwise, I become overly introspective.
Seeing more women in music show their diversity and receive recognition for it in both music and movies thrills me. My goal is to contribute to that trend and demonstrate that women can achieve success without sacrificing their creative side.
What can your fans anticipate from you in the way of new releases or future projects now that “Call You Mine” has been released? Can you tell us about any interesting plans you have coming up?
I’ve completed a number of dance-oriented tunes, where I’ve really developed my rhythm. Dancing is new, exciting, and energizing, yet it can go in so many different ways. I believe it to be the ultimate pop loophole. These projects are currently being mixed, and I’m working on the graphics as well.
In the near future, how do you envision your music changing? Are there any particular topics or creative trajectories you can’t wait to tackle in your next piece?
My next initiatives will aim to vocally push me outside of my comfort zone while maintaining and enhancing my abilities and core values. I want to embrace my femininity and my vision of myself in my work without discounting any of their essential components. I want to proudly display my background, my eccentricities, and, most importantly, the greatest version of me. Don’t overthink; just accomplish what I’ve always desired.
Additionally, I wish to only collaborate with other independent creative immigrants from the Netherlands living in London. I want to show the rest of the world that young, independent creatives can collaborate to produce something really great and that success doesn’t necessarily require a label’s or family’s endorsement. Too many nations suffer from underappreciation on a global scale.
How would you sum up “Call U Mine” in a few words, along with its importance in your musical career? What distinguishes this song in your discography, and what do you think it will accomplish for your listeners?
a celebration of the dual nature of women. It heralds the start of a brand-new creative phase in which I’m totally embracing who I am, stretching the bounds of my identity in order to redefine my core, and discovering my voice. It’s the first song on which I’m not the producer and marks the beginning of a string of musical and visual collaborations with other young immigrant creatives. That’s the tune that made me appreciate my own narrative and point of view enough to include it authentically in my songs. the one where I at last began to celebrate her and stopped ignoring myself.

Justin Timberlake Might SUE Britney Spears: I’ll Fix My Reputation!

It seems that Justin Timberlake is so unhappy right now that he would hire an expensive legal team to help him get his reputation back on track.
Many think Justin disgusting in light of everything that Britney Spears’ biography revealed about him.
His reputation might never get back due to all of the things she confirmed and the additional facts.
According to a startling new claim, he’s so upset about it that he’s thinking of pursuing extreme legal action. Ouch!

According to a RadarOnline article, Justin Timberlake is thinking of filing a lawsuit against Britney Spears.
Unbelievably, Justin has received a lot of support from the general population over the years.
His erstwhile supporters have now abandoned him. Other famous people have also expressed their disdain at what he did to Britney.

The story claims that his original intention was to “ride” out the controversy like a wave.
When someone finds oneself in a scandal and is unable to confront the misbehavior immediately, that is frequently the wisest course of action.
This isn’t about anything Justin is doing wrong today; he can’t undo the past. Usually, the wisest course of action would be to say nothing and avoid making public appearances. (Well, after a sincere confession in which he begs for unmerited pardon in public.)

On the other hand, the report indicates that the difficulty is increasing.
October 24 was just a couple weeks ago when Britney’s book was released.
However, Justin is apparently considering alternative choices because he is feeling so “miserable” over the information that has been revealed about him.

After that, Justin has encountered trolling in a way that has never happened to him before.
Numerous messages have even been addressed to his wife, Jessica Biel.
Hers are toned differently. People want Britney to know she can leave Justin after witnessing how he handled his former partner, forcing her to get an abortion, and using her to further his own career.

It’s all becoming really irritating to him. And not just any old fans either.
Many well-known individuals have stopped following Justin on social media, including some who are much more well-known than he is, such as Madonna.
It seems like he is thinking about suing her. He may prevent her from sharing more with the correct courtroom shopping (occasionally, whiners who are too litigious try cases in the UK, where libel rules are rather backwards).

If JT is truly thinking about it, perhaps he ought to think twice before acting on it.
Famous and evil men have been known to successfully defend their ex-partners in court. Occasionally, their expensive public relations campaigns deceive both the jury and the general public.
However, over time, Justin cannot and does not want his company to be known as “the guy who sued Britney.” He ought to have treated her better if he didn’t want her to talk negatively about him.

Interview: Never2Late Opens Up About Music and New Single “Love Is Wise”

It would surprise most that SteveB, a guitarist and songwriter from Yorkshire, UK, hasn’t made music and his band Never2Late his full-time career from the beginning. That’s because his unique blend of classic rock and blues is so effortless and natural. Actually, he is an orthopedic surgeon who is semi-retired.
It does make some sense when you think about it: playing the blues guitar would probably be a great way for a surgeon to cross-train since both demand extreme manual precision. That being said, it’s evident that SteveB naturally draws inspiration and inventiveness from blues rock.
“Love Is Wise,” the most recent single from Never2Late, is a cover of the track from their debut album, 2015’s It’s Hell In Happy Town.
CelebMix spoke with Never2Late to learn about his musical beginnings and the source of inspiration for his song “Love Is Wise.”
Let’s take a quick look at gear. Which sort of pedals, amplifiers, and guitar are you using?
I’m using a Kemper stage profiler to multitrack my Knaggs Kenai T/S Eric Steckel trademark guitar for the single. For my vocals, I prefer to utilize a TC Helicon Voicelive Play.
In the studio, do you employ any unique recording techniques?
Not exactly; I always perform to a click track since it makes the whole thing easier to put together. It’s very rare to find someone who can play precisely on time over a click track, according to my recording engineer! (Or maybe he’s just trying to make me feel good!)
I used to be in a band, but like many others, my dreams of being a rock star were severely thwarted by job, marriage, kids, more work, divorce, work, remarriage, more kids, and more work. Following my semi-retirement, I visited Glastonbury and was motivated to climb up into the attic, get my guitar, and form a band. We were originally a covers band, but after we performed at an event where we had to play four original songs, I decided to give it a go and ended up falling in love with writing songs.
Far too numerous to list and rather varied! I had the good fortune to grow up in an era that produced many amazing songwriters, including Paul Simon, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Roy Harper, and Al Stewart. Anyone who writes songs that are not formulaic and convey something about life and the human condition, such as The Beatles, XTC, Tom Waits, Cage the Elephant, Kevin Ayers, and The National, is an inspiration. Guitarists: Frank Zappa, Eric Steckel, John McLaughlin, Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamassa, and JJ Cale. For Thin Lizzy, Led Zepplin, and sheer energy!
Versatile! Everything from somber acoustic tunes like “Requiem for a Friend” or “I Still Talk to You Everyday,” which were both written during a lockdown, to bluesy social commentary pieces like “Sometimes I’m Ashamed to be a Man” or “Motel 22,” which highlight the situation of Silicon Valley’s homeless population, to more upbeat songs like the hit single “Love Is Wise,” “Tempted,” or “Filthy Lucre.” Even the strange love ballad “You’re My Rock” is devoted to my patient spouse!
I make an effort to steer clear of the clichés of the boy meets girl, falls in love, girl dumps him, and boy is broken-hearted variety. George Harrison once stated, “I could write hundreds of songs like ‘Hey baby what you gonna do,’ but I don’t want to.” I agree with him on that point. I would prefer for my words to have some sort of significance if I were to speak. Some worth, so that it’s not just some stupid tune that made some royalties in 20 years.
Every day, I play the guitar. I start with some basic chords and eventually stray into new areas. Occasionally, I combine two things at random and a song emerges. After that, it gets refined until I am rather satisfied with the outcome. I don’t mean to sound like an expert, but creating songs is similar to giving birth. Sometimes the work is simple, and other times it takes a long time and is challenging. Sometimes, the words and music just come out of nowhere—”Blinking in the Light” was written in 30 minutes from beginning to end. It’s like an emergency caesarian section.
I frequently hear the songs in my head, and if they seem to require something that I am not able to give, I have employed Fiverr (the saxophone on “Broken Promises,” the female voice on “Refugees”). At a singer-songwriter concert I was playing at, I also got to know Joana Carvalhas, a very gifted violinist who played the violin on the songs “Refugees” and “Requiem for a Friend.” As a total Luddite, I still find it thrilling to send a WAV file across the world and receive contributions back in a few days.
The National is fantastic. Proficient musicians with an amazing song catalog; I saw them live ten days ago. Right now, I’m really into Eric Steckel’s guitar playing.
For me, success has already been achieved because I have a beautiful wife, four amazing sons who have grown up to be generous and loving young men, and a very fulfilling work in a completely other industry! I compose music because I enjoy it. I’ll be a happy and satisfied man if someone enjoys the song, can relate to the lyrics, and remembers it the following day!
