In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we would like to introduce you to upcoming artist Zarenae and her brand new EP titled Things I didn’t say.
In the realm of R&B, where authenticity is king and soulful melodies reign supreme, emerges a rising sensation from the heart of Southern California – Zarenae. With her debut EP, Things I didn’t say, she invites listeners into a world of raw emotion and unfiltered truth, where each track is a testament to her resilience and artistry.
At the core of this transformative project lies a deeply personal journey. Following a dramatic car accident, a subsequent traumatic brain injury and recovering for six months unable to make music, Zarenae found herself grappling with the fragments of her identity. Yet, from the depths of adversity, she emerged stronger and more determined than ever before. Things I didn’t say became her lifeline, a beacon of hope amidst the darkness, as she poured her heart and soul into each lyric and melody.
The lead single, “Snooze,” serves as a poignant introduction to this captivating EP. Seamlessly blending the timeless allure of 90s R&B with contemporary production elements, Zarenae crafts a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. With soul-stirring vocals and infectious grooves, “Snooze” is a testament to her evolution as an artist and her unwavering commitment to authenticity.
Throughout the EP, Zarenae explores the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery with unwavering honesty. Each song is a window into her world, offering listeners a glimpse of the highs and lows that have shaped her journey. From the sultry melodies of “Woman Like Me” to the introspective depths of “One in a million,” Zarenae invites us to join her on a voyage of introspection and healing.
Beyond the confines of the studio, Zarenae’s presence reverberates across the vibrant landscape of Los Angeles’ music scene. With electrifying performances at iconic venues such as the Troubadour, The Roxy, and The Viper Room, she has solidified her status as a force to be reckoned with. Now, as she unleashes Things I didn’t say upon the world, Zarenae invites you to join her on a journey of self-discovery and sonic exploration.
So, let go of your inhibitions, open your heart, and allow the enchanting melodies of Zarenae’s Things I didn’t say to awaken your senses. In a world filled with noise, her music serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful messages are found in the things we didn’t say.
