Renée returns with her highly anticipated third single, ‘Blind’

Emerging NZ neo-soul, R&B artist Renée returns with her third single, Blind, set for release today, Friday, August 22, 2025.
This striking pop-R&B track introduces a fresh, refined sound, signalling a bold new direction in her musical journey as the first release from her forthcoming debut EP.
Blind captures the quiet moments of realisation when you finally recognise what’s been right in front of you. It’s about moving through patterns, getting stuck in your own head, and suddenly seeing things clearly: realising you may have needed someone more than you ever allowed yourself to admit. At the heart of the track lies its most revealing line: “How had I been so blind?” Renée’s lyrics carry raw emotional honesty, resonating deeply with listeners while sitting effortlessly atop sleek pop-R&B production.
Produced by longtime collaborator Jacob Callwood and mixed and mastered by Kahu Sanson-Burnett, Blind marks a major step forward in Renée’s sonic evolution. It’s a must-listen for anyone who’s ever experienced the powerful realisation of needing someone more than they realised. With its raw emotion and relatable lyrics, the track connects on a deep level while remaining an easy, effortless listen.
