Renée Spijker returns with massive, captivating new single, 'Without A Sound'

Melbourne/Naarm (formerly Brisbane/Meanjin) singer/songwriter Renée Spijker returns with yet another sprawling, captivating release in the massive-sounding new single, ‘Without A Sound’, which follows on from the equally huge-sounding ‘Ruby’.

It’s yet another taste of the artist’s upcoming debut EP, due in late 2023, which sees Renée team up with Tim Bettinson (Vancouver Sleep Clinic) and Luke Jenkins.

Renée’s music acts as a captivating, ethereal gateway that transports listeners to a realm of profound emotional depth and intricacy. Raised in a musically enriched environment in a small Dutch town, her passion for music and storytelling blossomed from an early age.

Renee Spijker serves to light a spark in the listener with ‘Without A Sound’; it’s cinematic, haunting and yet awe-inspiring with its many builds and dips. Flushed with organic and synth textures, and drenched in reverb, ‘Without A Sound’ surrounds and washes over you, and a chorus of Spijkers pull you in, almost like a siren song. ‘Without A Sound’ is an exhilarating listen.

Speaking on the new single, Renée speaks of its significance and creation.

"Without A Sound" is a powerful and resonant song co-written with Tim Bettinson of Vancouver Sleep Clinic. It holds a deep meaning for me as it urges individuals to stand up for change and break the silence that stifles progress,” she said.

“The lyrics emphasize the importance of using one's voice to create waves of transformation, serving as a call to action for listeners to confront injustices and challenge societal norms. With its anthemic sound and passionate message, "Without A Sound" empowers individuals to make their voices heard, sparking a desire for positive change and a better world.”

Spijker's love and commitment to music grew even stronger as she pursued a degree in anthropology, expanding her understanding of human emotions and experiences. Following her studies, she embarked on a journey to Naarm/Melbourne, driven by a relentless determination to pursue her musical aspirations. Her courageous foray into uncharted territory is a testament to her resilience and unwavering ambition to leave her mark in the music industry.

Through her artistry, Spijker crafts a mesmerising and empowering sonic landscape that guides listeners on a voyage of self-discovery, evoking a sense of being simultaneously lost and found. Her music serves as a reminder that each person's perspective is unique, and their individual experiences, regardless of their magnitude, are equally valid and significant.

‘Without A Sound’ is out now on all streaming platforms, and keep paying attention for Renée Spijker’s debut EP later this year.
