Ren Harvieu - Through The Night
Posted by Ahh_Bisto on 31 January 2012 - 9:15pm.
She's 21 years old and from Salford.
I heard her for the first time tonight on Simon Mayo. Raul Malo (lead singer of The Mavericks) was a guest on the show and they played this song after Mayo wrapped the interview with him. Apparently Malo was so struck by her voice he stopped in his tracks, sat back down in his chair and listened to it all the way through.
I don't blame him. It's terrific.

It's great
Part of the new movement for 2012: Young and Impossibly Talented Women with Names that are a Bit Hard to Spell. See also:
Lianne La Havas
Emelie Sande
I love the Lianne La Havas track,
and was very fond of Emeli Sande until I realised she sounds like Beverley Knight on her new single ('Next To Me'). It's put me off her a little bit because even though they both have strong & perfectly pleasant voices I've always found Ms. Knight to be a little bland, and probably unfairly I now find Sande a little bland, too. I'm sure she'll get over it...
oh I completely agree about that 2nd Sande single
Next to Me is a real disappointment. But having come out with a track as exciting as Heaven at such a tender age, I reckon she's one to watch.
They've been playing this a lot on Radio 2 lately,
she sounds a lot like kd lang to my ears, especially during the chorus. No bad thing.
Good trick
I've been enjoying Through the Night for about the last 3 weeks on Drivetime and sometimes Evans in the morning although he seems to have gone quiet on it. It does that trick of sounding new and old at the same time.
She was interviewed on Radcliffe & Maconie the other week.
Came across very well. And the single is, certainly, very impressive. The new Dusty Springfield and all that
Mind you, so was Rumer's debut single. The new Karen Carpenter.
Let's see what happens. There does, though, seem to be a lot of very impressive female talent about at the moment. Emile Sande in particular. And she's bloody clever as well.
fantastic
really like that and How good was Raul Malo's version of "Around the World " ?
Very good indeed
I'd say. It made me sit back down and listen. Less keen on his Imagine on the ukulele, though.
Count me in - so far
It's a fine single, lovely feel and very appealing voice, not oversinging. I'm not sure the song itself is that great, but I'll still be listening out for more stuff by her.
It reminds me a bit of The Long Goodbye by A Girl Called Eddy, which I attach below. I'd bloody love it if her album could be re-released and get the recognition it so thoroughly deserves, as there certainly seems to be a taste for her sort of sound and sensibility. If young Ren ever makes an album as fantastic as A Girl Called Eddy, another star will indeed have been born.
I like the Ren song
actually it reminds me of a track by Clayhill (well the start anyway)
I reckon they'll start putting more women on the front cover soon!
ho ho
Also reminds me of
Joan as a police woman a bit.
