Ren Harvieu & Romeo Stodart
Ren Harvieu
Anyone who believes there are no second chances needs to be re-introduced to Ren Harvieu. Seven years after Through The Night, her Top Five debut album, having overcome a life-threatening injury on the eve of it’s release, the darkly enigmatic Salford-born singer-songwriter returned with the critically acclaimed Revel In The Drama (Bella Union) a brilliant, bolder and broader take on her unique pop classicism, a compelling diary of struggle, a release of pent-up tension and a celebration of liberation and survival. It should’ve been a celebration but as luck would again have it, the world went into a global pandemic on the week of release. Timing is everything but Ren Harvieu is timeless as she is inspirational.
Now in the production chair alongside her writing partner Romeo she is creating her most brave and compelling music yet, a new album is scheduled for release in early 2025.
