Talent Across The (Key)Board: Introducing Lydia René

Lydia René is…multifaceted. It almost sounds like an understatement when listing all the incredible talents and skills she possesses; she has a say (or song) in every part of her creative process.

In an era that does not always demand an assortment of talent from its artists, the Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Pianist captures hearts and ears because of her abilities. Her voice is powerful yet graceful and calming, and her neo-soul melodies immediately grab listeners and create the urge to hear more. Lydia’s enchanting style, and flowing hair, create the comparison to songstress Jill Scott, but it is clear that she is a stand-alone vocalist that has a unique gift and sound. The Westampton, NJ native (now residing in Los Angeles) not only offers an remarkable vocal range of Tenor to Mezzo Soprano, but depth in her songwriting that gives love, power, and perspective.  

“I love singing and writing about love and relationships as well as life,” the musician states. “I want people to hear my music and feel better about themselves and their lives. I want my music to let people know that real love exists and that they can have it.”

Lydia René

Lydia René fell in love with music at an early age. She began singing early as a child in the church choir, eventually developing her gifts at performing arts programs and camps. After receiving a boost of support following a talent show performance in college, she decided to pursue her music full steam. Since then, Lydia’s professional career has begun to blossom: she has accumulated many accomplishments including both a live album (“My Love is My Life”), touring earlier this year, and most recently, being featured in the teaser for the box office smash The Perfect Guy featuring Sanaa Lathan and Michael Ealy.

Lydia René’s success is well-deserved and a testament to her work, but they are merely motivation to continue to work and improve. Now as a seasoned live performer with a great show, she 
shifts focus to highlight her in-studio talent with 
Vintage Heart, her debut studio album. 

Released last February, the well-composed LP is a refreshing blend of mellow and mid-tempo tracks that put Lydia René’s remarkable talents as a composer on full display. With enduring tracks like “Only in Time” and “That’s Life”, Vintage Heart not only encapsulates the essence of the unique star, it also secures the listener’s ears and emotions.


As she continues to promote Vintage Heart and write new material, Lydia remains intent on growing and evolving in the music industry. With goals for future upcoming albums, dreams of establishing a recording label and more, much has taken shape for the amazing young woman. Given her level of drive and skill, it is expected that shape will be that of a star.

The Adventures of Captain Save-a-Ho, America's Most Misunderstood Hero

"Dude, hear me out: they gave Batman one, Thor, even Captain America...when's BLANKMAN getting a new film? You know he deserves it." Al Gore, 'We're Just Talking' While the quote was originally written for comedic purposes, I admit to privately celebrating the less popular and promoted superheroes of my time and before. Great protectors such as Colossus (first superhero with a high top fade), The Flash, and my favorite...Meteor Man, were commonly overlooked while guys like Batman and Superman soaked up the limelight. Buried even further below these 'underground' heroes however lies a figure that serves and protects more commonly than any of the previously mentioned figures, and NEVER gets the respect a defender of their credentials. They've saved more people than all of the Justice League members combined and never needed an alter ego; they simply go by the name of "Captain Save-a-Ho".  Though speaking in a mildly facetio...

"What's Up, Youngblood?": A Deeper Look At The Old School Player

They are found pretty much everywhere: at the supermarket, on the second floor at your job, and especially at family reunions. Though conspicuous in nature, this species is easy to spot. No I'm not talking about roaches, you heathen; I'm talking about the "Old School Player", aka a "piiimmmmp". Now it is important to differentiate between an Old School Player and a man who is simply "old school". My father, known affectionately as Charles Perry (please say the full name), is old school; he has traditional values, rough hands, and watches westerns like "Gunsmoke". An Old School Player (O.S.P) is different; they are commonly outlandish, shifty, and laugh really weird. These well-tenured romeos carry great influence on the youth of America, specifically young males. Coming into contact with old school playas brings guys to a critical transition in life: the older men become an example for their younger counterparts. Gentlemen decide f...
