Album Review: renforshort Has Got Teenage Angst Covered

renforshort rises amongst the ranks of GEN Z artists singing to a very real fact about being GEN Z: disillusionment. Today’s youth is incredibly perceptive, exposed, and on an emotional yo-yo of either anxiety and boredom or euphoria and blissful imaginings of invincibility. Okay, that might be a really deep assessment for an album with a literal song called “luv is stooopid.” Yet, renforshort’s Teenage Angst taps into what it is to be hungover on life when you still, literally, underage to drink.

What is crazy about the world is that youth is very adult, and, as time passes, this sad truth will become moreso. For God’s SAKE! Who, reading this, remembers what it was like to be 16 and living under a global pandemic of a reparatory disease? Anyone? Unless, you were a teen during the Bubonic Plague, I think not. Thus, from “tastefully depressed” to “bummer,” renforshort rises amongst the wave of Gen Z pop stars who have traded in the genre’s typical penchant for love to, instead, sing to things like identity and stress. Music is like a historical documentarian, and Teenage Angst tells us that being young, today, is about looking joyous through an IG filter while feeling scared over life’s lack of filters.

renforshort’s voice is steady in tone and texture, which makes her deliver notes like silk being straightened to cover a soundscape. She is descriptive in her lyrical deliveries; making her verses feel like the bubbled phrases hanging over characters in a comic-book. You watch your young heroes’ adventures and get lost in the colorful beats of their path. In typical Pop form, her synths are saccharine, but its her words and vocal whims that attract honeyed views on a rightfully frustrated generation. For More Information On renforshort Click Here.
