Ren Genevieve’s new single offers listeners a heartfelt reflection on the joys and pains of navigating life’s inevitable changes. “‘forts’ is a really special song to me,” Genevieve shares. “It encapsulates this sadness, nostalgia, and regret I was feeling about growing up.” This self-produced track emotionally reflects on the fine line between the harsh reality of growing up and childhood memories. “I was really grappling with how growing up changes people and their relationships with themselves and others. What are the things we remember? What do we do with the nostalgic dissonance between the memory of childhood and the reality of childhood?” Genevieve explains. “forts” is the feeling one gets when they are deep in reminiscing about being a child and figuring out how to navigate life as a full-time adult. The track draws listeners in, tugging at their heartstrings and allowing them to connect with their deepest emotions. Genevieve’s approach to songwriting and storytelling is what makes her stand out amongst many, “forts” is a prime example of her mastery. With its expressive and deep-seated lyrics, the track hits home for many listeners, while presenting a relatable angle on the struggles of adulthood and how it re-molds past connections people had. With the blend of soul-touching melodies and soft vocals, Ren Genevieve captures all the elements perfectly.
