SINGLE REVIEW: RENEL “CRAZY”
Setting its mood in an intimate, heartfelt guitar soundscape, honest lyricism, and genuine storytelling invites you in for a discussion about mental health. Revolving around Renel’s personal struggle, “Crazy” hits you right in the feels.
Renel is an artist that speaks his truth with music. He sheds light on a difficult topic that is so common yet rarely discussed openly. “Crazy” is highly relatable for anyone who has been through the low and the pain in life.
The song remains at an intense pace between spoken lyricism and melodic elements as it dives deep along Renel’s personal journey and realization. The verse is first paired with a well-knit drum beat and mesmerizing guitar loop.
