New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Introducing WRENNE's "ISaidYesToEverything"
In her own words:
"This is my life's work. True story. I've worked a long while to be in this place at this time with these people, these songs and recordings, and for it to feel right. Over the past few years I have indeed said 'Yes!' to everything (OK, maybe not Reality TV, drugs, Morris Dancing - yet) and found that every 'yes' comes with a lesson to learn and even sometimes a difficult price to pay. This album is about the consequences of yes - for the most part profoundly positive - in the language I know best, music."
Wrenne is a compelling, new voice.
An 'overnight' i.e. multiple-year success story, raised in Utah and the Mormon Church, Wrenne left for
Europe as a 22-year-old with a head full of questions and a heart open to the answers. Arrived in London with a guitar, 300 bucks and a phone number. She worked through survival, started to belong, became British. Honing her skills as a writer and vocalist, she grafted and crafted her self-styled "Post-Mormon-Electro-Pop." Discovering her true voice, Wrenne spoke up and recognized family among a host of talented performers, writers and producers along the way. Those collaborations comprise the album.
"I could tell you about the mountains that I grew up next to; the religion that influenced and confused me; the faraway feeling I will always have; the family I am always looking for and the family I have as a mother; or the fact that the struggles of life are at the core of everything I write."
This bracing honesty is vital to "ISaidYesToEverything," as is that collaborative spirit: these songs feature a stellar cast including superstar Idris Elba; producer
Marius de Vries (Björk, "LaLaLand"); Gary Clark (Danny Wilson/"Sing Street"); Lanterns on the Lake's Paul Gregory; Bonobo's Johnny Tomlinson; Gregor Philp (Deacon Blue); 5xGrammy-winning vocalists The Swingles; and legendary saxophonist John Altman.
Wrenne is blessed with some extraordinary friends and fans supporting her unique vision.
You'll hear why on this collection's blend of emotionally-searing pop songs and soaring electronica - old school art with a wholly contemporary sound, reflecting diverse classic artists from
Kate Bush to
Annie Lennox alongside peers such as Robyn, Björk and Christine & the Queens. The songs effortlessly switch genres with one fundamental, central component: Wrenne's extraordinary voice and authentic attitude.
"I don't know if I turned out to be an artist because it was all I knew to do or because it truly is the best thing I can do with my life. But how can I inspire my own child to have faith in herself and her own voice if I don't do the same for myself?"
She's a "Disney-Punk," devoted mother, obsessive runner, skilled chocolate-eater and an undeniable star. And, as she sings in the mantra of "Hope:" I AM READY!
