If success was defined by artistic integrity and talent, Shane Rennison would be one of the most globally recognised musicians around. The New York-based singer/songwriter is a firm favourite around these parts, and has gifted us tunes like the poignant gem ‘Irrational’ and the soul-stirring beauty ‘I Think It’s You’. Now, Shane returns with the second instalment of his ‘Live at the Outlier Inn’ series, offering up four tracks recorded with world-class musicians at the twelve-acre retreat in the Catskills.
Breathing new life into Shane’s creations while maintaining the emotional core of the songs, the live renditions capture the very essence of Rennison’s songwriting, beginning with ‘Irrational’. A warm and rich reimagination featuring the stunning piano playing of Janna Pelle, the tune is elevated to new heights.
‘I Think It’s You’, a track I previously labelled “one of the best I’ve heard all year”, follows ‘Irrational’, and once again delivers that enchanting and profound vibe before ‘Losin’ You’ steps up to the plate – another absolute jewel.
‘Hey Hey Hey’ completes Shane’s latest EP, and it’s a song I’d like the reader to put on right now. I mean it! Grab your headphones and allow yourself to discover the genius of Shane Rennison with no preconceived notions. What an artist!
