Interview: Ren Marabou

So how has your latest album/EP gone so far with fans then?

Just about to release my debut album ‘Significant Progress’ on the 14th of August. I’ve had such an amazing response so far for the singles taken from it. Couldn’t ask for more. ‘Signicicant Progress’ will be available on all major platforms including Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, Deezer and Google Play.

Tell us something about the release no one knows?

Well most people probably don’t know that I set up a studio in my home especially to record ‘Significant Progress’ instead of going to my usual studio of choice. The decision actually turned out to be better than I could have imagined as just when I set the studio up the Pandemic Lockdown kicked into affect. I got the majority of the album done during quarantine. The awesome folks over at BMJ Records UK need a shout out for all the support during the process.

If you could work with any band on a new song, who would it be and why?

I’d absolutely love to work with Richie Kotzen. He is a phenomenal musician and after getting to met him on tour in Germany I can say he is an absolute gentleman aswell. It would be a huge honor and pleasure to work with him.

How has your latest release been received?

My most recent release was my single ‘Tame the Universe’. I have a very supportive fan base but this track actually surpassed my expectations with how well it was received. The track was almost left on the studio floor but thankfully it was given the chance to shine.

Can you tell us about the meaning behind the track?

Well these strange times we are living through right now gives us alot to ponder, wonder, hope for and worry about. ‘Tame the Universe’ can be a spiritual warriors chant or a wake up sonnet for the people of our physical planet.

What tours do you have coming up, and what can you tell us about them?

My summer tour of the UK, Ireland and Europe had to be postponed but my team are working on some new dates for when we have this pandemic behind us. I hope to be hitting the stage by the years end. Updates and info can be found on my Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or YouTube channel.

What venue are you most looking forward to playing the most, and why?

I actually have my eye on a venue in Berlin called Frannez Club. I hope to bring my show there in 2021. Such a rich history in the venue. Seen some amazing acts there myself.

What else can we expect from in 2020?

I’ve actually begun working on my next album even before the release of ‘Significant Progress’. I’ve just been in a song writing and recording flow. First single is already in the bag and is waiting to go. So after all the necessary promo for ‘S.P’ is done I will have even more music to share with my supporters. I have a few interesting announcements in the pipe line also so some great things on the way.
