Ren McLean wrote ‘All I Want’ while reminiscing about her childhood before going off to college. It’s an indie/folk song about growing up, and how the things you want most in life change as you get older.
‘All I Want’ encapsulates the feeling of nostalgia, complete with layers of finger- picking on acoustic guitar, wistful vocal arrangements, and a folksy string quartet. She hopes it inspires people to look back on their own childhood, hold their memories closely, and to relish in the little things in life before they’re gone.
A songstress of foresty indie/folk, Ren writes music to say what isn’t said but needs to be heard. Rather than shy away from the messy stuff, she embraces it.
Influenced by singer/songwriters Phoebe Bridgers and Lizzy McAlpine, Ren paints vivid pictures through allegorical—yet relatable—lyrics, attracting those who yearn for a daily dose of whimsy. Through rich acoustic guitar tones, haunting string arrangements, and atmospheric vocal layers, Ren crafts the perfect soundtrack for staying inside on a rainy day or going out to grab a cup of tea at your favorite local cafe. She wears her heart on her sleeve, prioritizing authentic storytelling and raw catharsis as heard in her gut-wrenching vocals.
Whether attending a concert or listening from the comfort of your own home, you will find that Ren creates a space for your most honest self to be seen, and you’ll be coming back for more.
