Great vibes, classic indie-pop production and long-form lyrics, a sense of this coming naturally to the artist – Ren Martinez delivers a seamless connection between storytelling and musicianship, for The First & Last of the Perfect Parties.
Building towards a rather nostalgic hook, the song appeals from the outset for this lyrical progression, the opening lyric taken from a literal group text during early covid, and the subsequent lyrics weaving an equally intriguing but also strangely relatable web.
Then we get the hook, a moment of brightness and uplift, that nod to nineties pop-rock or something a little Sheryl Crow like, and all in all the track is an easy must for the modern playlists – a refreshing twist of timeless songwriting, and a fine introduction to all things Ren Martinez.
Ren leads with a voice that’s natural but versatile, and a songwriting style that’s a pleasure to get into, and that combination stands tall as the track gathers momentum. I look forward to hearing more.
