Ren Harvieu announces first album in seven years with lead single "Yes Please"
Ren Harvieu has announced her first album in seven years, Revel In The Drama, alongside dropping the lead single "Yes Please".
"Yes Please" is the second track to be lifted from Revel In The Drama, after September's "Teenage Mascara".
Speaking about the new single, Harvieu describes it as "A slow sensual dance of desire. I wanted to write about the art of seduction and the teasing power of being an unapologetic sexual being."
Harvieu's second album Revel In The Drama will be her first album since 2012's debut LP Through The Night.
Revel In The Drama was co-written with Magic Numbers' Romeo Stodart over two years from 2015, and is co-produced by Stodart and Dave Izumi Lynch.
Speaking about writing with Stodart, Harvieu says, "When we started, the energy was immediately different to anyone I’d worked with before, there was this insane instant musical connection. I loved that Romeo really embraced who I was and encouraged it, I was starting to realise that I didn’t have to be anything other than myself."
Discussing the lengthy process behind the record, Harvieu adds, "I wasn’t in a massive hurry, because at last I was having fun. We’d stay up all night drinking, dancing and playing music, I felt like I was re-discovering a girl who had been hidden, quietened. I’d tell Romeo, I don’t just want to paint pretty pictures I want to revel in the drama of my life, the good and the bad, before I was afraid to say something in my lyrics, but no longer. I felt free."
