Renao Explores Identity & Artistic Space On Debut Double EP 'A Space Between Orange & Blue'
23 June 2023
London-based artist Renao, originally from Bangalore, released his debut double EP 'A Space Between Orange & Blue', blending pop, indie-folk, warm soul, and alternative R&B over 9 tracks. The release is split between an orange side and a blue side to represent the artist's Indian roots and his new life in UK.
“It’s about me as a Brown person existing within a Western context and space,” says Renao. Melifluous polished vocal melodies convey themes such as love, longing, and infatuation through the diaspora lens over tracks like the guitar-driven 'Lake House' and the funk bass-infused 'Lakehouse'. Rejecting clichés, the EP avoids Bollywood influences, focusing instead on Renao's family and childhood memories to evoke a personal connection to India.
