If you jump over to Reni Lane's twitter profile, you'll find that she describes herself as "Alternapop artiste currently playing keys on tour with The Like and Arctic Monkeys. Answers to Ms. Lane, tech-y spice, alien, freakazoid." That's a pretty dead-on assertation, however the addition of "heavyweight pop contender" may cement what's to become your latest obsession.


Under a fiery head of shocking orange hair, it's Lane's clear and alluring voice that will pull you into the driving beats laced within her songs. Her journey has been brief, but all the while, Reni has continued a driving passion to succeed in the world of music.

Maybe NYLON Magazine said it best when they wrote, "Some people seem to exist just to make the rest of us look like slackers. Reni Lane is one of them."

And now with her debut album, Ready, due out in early 2010 through Custard, Lane is poised to pounce all over the pop audience's eager ears.

I implore you to take a listen to first single, Place For Us, as done up by RAC. And if you like what you hear, go buy the original here.
