“Renee’s newly-released devotional album This. features call-and-response kirtan chanting, a soulful voice reminiscent of Chrissie Hynde or Joan Armatrading, and a rich soundscape of organic instrumentation blended seamlessly with light, heart-opening electronic ambience. It has a natural home in the yoga studio, certainly; however, one of Renee’s major strengths as an artist is her ability to translate traditional chants from the Indian subcontinent into a folk-inflected idiom that she terms “mantra-pop.””

— Nick Mattos, PQ Monthly

“I had the pleasure of meeting Robin for the first time when I booked her as a performer for the 5th Street Coffeehouse music venue in Philadelphia several years ago. The coffeehouse featured African-American female, folk-inspired artists and Robin became an instant favorite of mine and the venue patrons... Robin’s entrepreneurial spirit is infectious and her determination is only paralleled by her acute attention to detail. ”

— Brian Loebig, The Ink Blog

“Kirtan with a Side of Funk - I've been a fan of Robin Renee's since I stumbled into one of her kirtans in NYC years ago. She recently released her new CD, This. If you're looking for a funky twist on the Indian classics, check out her music (the first two tracks on the (SoundCloud) page are on her new CD). ”

— Diane DeGiorgio, Everything Yoga

“Artist Worth Visiting! So recently I have been introduced to the music of Robin Renée. Check out a portion of her bio: "Robin Renée claims personal favorites and influences from acts as disparate as Elvis Costello, Jai Uttal, James Taylor, Gary Wilson, and Devo. Ultimately, Robin Renée's work emerges from the in-betweens.”

— Christopher Levine, Eclecticblogs - Weekly Meanderings for Music Head Consumption

“As joyful as the image on the cover, “This” is the newest creation by Mantra-Pop Artist Robin Renee. With four previous CD’s to her credit, her style is alt-rock-pop-celtic-folk-kirtan. Her voice is both deep and soaring, stretching the sound spectrum. An Eastern and Western multi-instrumentalist, Robin plays harmonium, guitar and keyboard. My first listen was in the car which carried me along winding roads with the delightfully sing-along-able pieces. ”

— Edie Weinstein , The Bliss Blog (beliefnet)

Questions

Ask Robin Renee anything...

Q: My favorite is "Holy River!" Beautiful.

A: So glad you like "Holy River." When I sing it live these days, I tend to play harmonium rather than guitar. It has been one of my favorite ways to end a kirtan.
