Say the words 'soul music' and think of great music and undeniable, unforgettable voices. Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Anita Baker, are just a few of legendary voices that will live forever in history and in our hearts.
In 2006 a new artist, L'Renee, arrived and revived the spirit of Motown in Detroit, MI, embodying the legacy of real music with a voice that is a perfect blend of R&B.
L'Renee's fan base has grown since 2006 to approximately 10,000 patrons through myspace (4,695 as of 03/12/08), facebook (496 as of 03/12/08), blackplanet (1,722 as of 03/12/08), and her official website (2,600 as of 03/12/08).
Her listeners have streemed her music over 190,000 times between myspace and blackplanet (blackplanet:140,533/ myspace 50,915 as of 03/12/08). These stats do not include streeming through lastfm, rhapsody, groovemobile, groupietunes, emusic, amazon, itunes, ilike, virb, soundclick and other music websites and blog communities internationally.
Since the launch of her first project, L'Renee has distributed her music approximately 4,000 times. This number includes statistcs from both projects distributed digitally and with physical cd sales in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. With each semi-monthly live performance and web traffic of over 25,000 hits per month to www.lrenee.net (taken from data collected by nimbit web services), that number continues to grow.
L'Renee has worked with Stephanie Mills, Tremaine Hawkins, Musiq Soul Child, Eric Roberson, Jaquar Wright, Dwele, Conya Doss, Alison Crockett, Tony Ozier, Monica Blaire, Necco Redd, DJ Genesis, Penny Wells, Frank McComb, Gordon Chambers, Peter Hadar, Russell Taylor, Maya Azucensa, Maysa from Incognito,Kloud 9, Phil Perry, Rahssaun Patterson, Yalonda Johnson, Slum Village and DJ Des, Nick Speed, Naughty by Nature, Impromp2, Destiny's Child, 112, Jagged Edge, The Clipse, Big Tone and 87.
After sharing the stage with a bevy of big name acts L'Renee emerged as an artist of true star caliber and takes center stage. Her amply self-titled debut album "Special Song" (her real name is Lori=Special, Renee=Song) introduced her phenomenal voice to the world, wowed fans. Hit makers including Rick Morrision , Saku Floyd, Renaissance Man and Q.
Barely taking a moment to breathe after the release of her first album, L'Renee headed back into the studio with Renaissance Man, Tony Ozier, Mr. Wright, Jazz and SickNotes to compile 16 more tracks for her sophomore album, "2nd Chances".
The album, released in April of 2007, showcased a more vocally aggressive side of L'Renee while delivering the same emotional lyrics that won fans over the first time around. Her first single off the album is the sultry ballot "Let's Do Whatever" detailing the intimate relationship of lovers. The second single, "I Love My Life" is a personal track where L'Renee describes being able to look past trials to find joy in life and her passion to share her music with the world. That passion and unequivocal love for music that is evident when you see her perform or hear her sing can clearly be seen in her first video to accompany the song. Her style is growing among fans as she has been featured in "Vibe" Maganize (December 2007), "Urban Mainstreem" Vol 36 (November 2007),on BlackPlanet.com, Soulisms and the list continues to grow.
Pure zeal is exhibited in every soulful word L'Renee sings. Through her lyrics and soul-stirring, energetic delivery, she creates a true euphoric experience filled with the pain of losing, highs of discovering a new love and every emotion in between. Experience her for yourself�
