Renforshort Returns with a Brand New Reflective, Euphonious Single “Serpentine”
Renforshort, the Canadian alt-pop sensation also known as Lauren Isenberg, is making waves once again with her latest single, “Serpentine.” This marks her first official release since her captivating album ‘Dear Amelia’ dropped in 2022. Produced by the dynamic duo Jonny Lattimer (known for his work with Rina Sawayama, Ellie Goulding, and James Bay) and Jeff Hazin (recognized for his collaborations with Glaive, Tai Verdes, and Midwxst), “Serpentine” offers a beautifully melodic journey into themes of independence, solitude, and self-reflection.
In discussing the inspiration behind her latest track, Renforshort reveals, “’Serpentine’ is a song that, on the surface, narrates a solitary walk through the streets of London. Drawing from the stylistic essence of the legendary Elliott Smith, the melody encapsulates the meditative state of being alone with one’s thoughts. Collaborating with Jonny was a profound experience, enriching the song with depth and creativity. This track holds a special place for me as it reflects the independence and solitude I encountered during my solitary month in London. Its simplicity and sincerity capture a deeply personal moment, and I’m grateful for the journey of creating this piece, paying homage to the melodic influence of Elliott Smith.”
Renforshort’s debut album ‘Dear Amelia’ garnered widespread critical acclaim and cultivated a devoted fanbase, propelling her to prominence as a respected female artist championing pop with a nostalgic grunge twist. With the release of “Serpentine,” she embarks on a new phase in her musical journey, drawing upon the lessons and experiences from her previous projects to craft something entirely fresh that mirrors her current path.
