Singer-songwriter and recording artist Shane Rennison has captivated audiences with a heartfelt authenticity. Hailing from the Catskills in Upstate New York, Shane started bringing diverse covers to fans before transitioning to original music, where he puts his emotions into his music and soulful live performances.
Shane’s debut album, filled with pop glimmer and indie rock optimism, arrives as eleven-track ‘Irrational’. Shane takes audiences to new heights right from the opening, ‘All The Scars’ filling the atmosphere with a flurry of dreamy tones, sliding guitars, twinkling synths and catchy vocals all setting the scene.
Progressing through the project, Shane dances through influences far away and close to home, a steady folk ballad found in tracks like ‘I Think It’s You’ and subtle country energy falling into ‘Losin’ You’, whereas ‘What You Need To Know’ and ‘Long Road’ bring subtle elements of alternative pop into the mix.
This genre traversal makes for a unique project, Shane’s talents being pulled in multiple directions but arriving at a ground-breaking blend of acoustic and electronic genres, all the while keeping a shining pop undertone that makes for infectious listening. ‘Where I’m At’, alongside its deep emotional descriptions, also seems to define the album as a time capsule for Shane’s songwriting, with his sound set to continue to evolve across subsequent releases.
Shane explains his album, “I’m so grateful I finally get to share this album. We’ve been working on it for about two years now, and it’s just so nice to put it out and move on creatively. I felt as though artists were getting away from full-length projects that flow from one song to another. It’s kind of a dated concept because, in the streaming era, you can start an album on any track you wish. So for this project, I wanted to create seamless transitions from one track to the next to create a really cohesive project that satisfied us as a whole.”
