Rén with the Mane beguiles with the sultry indie-pop of "Burnin"

"Burnin" – which sits firmly in the indie-pop camp in terms of genre – plays with hesitance throughout its duration. Muted guitar and taught percussion support Renée Orshan's gorgeous vocal performance, erupting into a better-late-than-never climax around the three-minute mark. In anyone else's hands, waiting this long could be a mistake, but Orshan's meticulously calculated songwriting creates a tectonic slow-burn that's utterly satisfying in its unhurried build and release. Take our word for it: it's hot.

"I've been listening to a lot of Maggie Rodgers and Big Thief lately," Orshan explains of the inspiration behind "Burnin". "Their organic sounds and unique vocal inflections are so addicting to listen to. Brandon [Bost, producer] started 'Burnin' off with a beat hitting the top of his acoustic guitar and that set the organic tone for the rest of the tune. I'd say its my favorite track we've done together thus far."

Orshan has been working with Bost – recently Grammy-nominated for his work on A Star Is Born hit "Shallow" – for over three years now. Introduced by a mutual friend, Bost's then-roomate, the pair set up a string of sessions together after Orshan heard his work.

"I couldn't stop thinking about the track and its meticulous production," Orshan gushes. "Plot twist, on our third session, Brandon had to end writing early and said, 'excuse me, I got a last minute emergency session with Lily Allen' – I metaphorically died. It wasn't until then I realized he worked directly under the mixing legend Tom Elmhirst at Electric Lady Studios. I knew Brandon was a gem, but I didn’t realize he was editing Gaga by day and producing me in his Brooklyn apartment by night."
