Since, Renee has produced powerful solos as well as collaborative songs, as seen and heard in her latest album "It’s Just Me". Released in July 2025, the album blends both personal sounds and features such as artists Rootz, Lashimba, and more. The LP is an upbeat and refined personal manifesto, bursting with unapologetic self-expression and authenticity. She dives into themes of self-acceptance and independence, wrapped in contemporary R&B textures and soulful melodies, where mood and message take center stage over fleeting trends.

Now, let's rewind to a year ago with two significant songs, "Aware" and "Friendly," released in October 2024! The track “Aware” is a brilliant showcase of Stormz’s artistic identity, merging introspection with self-assuredness. Musically, the track pivots between soulful vulnerability and sleek modern production, framing Stormz’s vocals with finesse. There’s no artifice — every phrase is intentional, every shift in tone signals a deeper layer of self-awareness. In this space, Stormz invites listeners not just to hear her story, but to reflect on their own. “Friendly” delves into boundaries and emotional intelligence, demonstrating her incredible knack for turning everyday dynamics into profound self-reflection. Both tracks shine a spotlight on her crystal-clear sense of self and bold storytelling talent.

Last but not least, Renee Stormz is known for her captivating live performances and has graced stages at major festivals such as We Out Here, Kendal Calling, Sounds From The Other City SXSW Festival and BBC6 Festival in Manchester. Her ability to seamlessly move between genres and create unexpected, boundary-pushing music has earned her a dedicated global fanbase.
