Renée Unveils New Dance-R&B Single ‘Been A Minute’
Emerging soul-R&B artist Renée returns with her latest single, Been A Minute, set for release today, February 13th 2026.
With its infectious groove and smooth blend of dance-R&B and Afro-inspired production, Been A Minute marks another evolution in Renée’s ever-growing artistry
The track captures the vulnerability and quiet tension of revisiting old feelings after time apart, centring on emotional disclosure and reconnection between two people. Through warm, percussive rhythms and rich, soulful vocals, Renée explores what it means to open up again and rediscover a connection that was never fully lost.
Produced by longtime collaborator Jacob Callwood, whose refined electronic production adds depth and movement, Been A Minute feels both intimate and expansive, blending groove and emotion in a way that invites listeners to move and feel at the same time.
As the third single from Renée’s forthcoming debut EP Disclosure, Been A Minute offers a glimpse into the project’s emotional core – a search for clarity, honesty, and personal growth. Sonically, the EP blends dance-R&B, neo-soul, and Afrobeat influences with a sleek, confident tone, capturing the journey of self-discovery, reconnection, and the expression of long-held truths. With one more single to come, Renée continues to shape her distinctive sound, building momentum and establishing herself as a bold new voice in the Aotearoa music scene.
