Renee Stahl

On first glance at Renee, you aren't sure if you are looking at a 40's movie star or your best friend from next door. She is simultaneously old fashioned yet refreshingly modern. Her music exhibits a similar duality. She describes her musical style as music that, "makes you feel happy and sad at the same time." Her first album was entitled, "Melancholy Pop." A wide variety of influential producers contributed to the album, including Andrew Williams (Old 97's, Peter Stuart, Victoria Williams, Scott Thomas Band), Chad Fischer (Alexi Murdoch, Colin Hay, Lazlo Bane) and Dave Dale. Most of the songs on this CD were co-written with Kevin Hunter (Wire Train, Tuesday Night Music Club). Tracks from this album were used on a number of different TV shows, including "Roswell", "Wonderfalls", "Party of Five". Renee felt that the music on her follow up album, "sounded a bit more optimistic," which led her to title the album, "Hopeful Romantic." She describes the general sound of this album as, "on the electronic side or, as some call it, folktronica." Most of the songs on the record were produced by Bill Lefler, with additional production by James Hood. Read more on Last.fm.
