rén – “I’ll Be Okay”

rén is a talented artist from Voorhees, and her new single “I’ll Be Okay” shows how talented she is. What stood out to me right away was how much of herself she’s put into it. The intro of the track includes an accidental voicemail between her and her boyfriend that makes it feel more personal and meaningful.

Working again with engineer Billy Kennedy, who has helped shape her last few releases, rén has leaned into the vulnerability of her voice instead of hiding it. She admitted she almost re-recorded the vocals, but keeping them raw ended up being the right choice. You can hear the honesty in the way she delivers lines, and the softer affirmations layered into the song give it another layer of meaning. It’s a meaningful track that I kept replaying again and again.

“I’ll Be Okay” doesn’t come across as just another single, it feels like a snapshot of where she is in her journey right now. If you want to keep up with what rén has coming next in 2025, make sure to follow rén on social media.
