Reniss
Tendon
Album · Pop · 2016
Tendon refines the sound established on Reniss' early EPs—a visionary mix that she calls Mboko pop. Traditional Cameroonian rhythms blend effortlessly with elements of hip-hop, trap and neo-R&B. Vocally, she brings a nimble grace and rich warmth to the tracks, heightened by a lyrical versatility, as she flits between lines sung in French, English and Nguemba. The result is a breathtaking introduction to a sonic innovator who's carving out a singular musical path.
