(New York, NY): Today, Renee Holiday releases “Temptation” — a reggae-infused track where her voice floats perfectly over a masterfully layered Egyptian-like beat. She lays down her lyrics in a buttery smooth voice that melds into the full richness of someone much older than she. "Temptation / On the planet Mars / I could easily go to the stars" Renee croons as the instrumentals vibrate in the background.

The new song follows the late 2019 release of ”soulful track” (Rated R&B) “Ain’t Got No Love” and a cover of Patti Smith’s “People Have The Power” where Renee's voice “takes the form of a warm trickle of water” (FEMMUSIC).

ABOUT RENEE HOLIDAY:
Renee Holiday’s (formerly Shaprece) eclectic tastes and spiritual journeys have resulted in edgy yet smooth projects like 2014’s Molting — an ethereal EP carried by melodies — and her 2016 debut C.O.A.L.S -- a progressive album that showcases her range as a powerhouse vocalist on diverse soundscapes. Early in her tenure, she built buzz as a featured guest on songs by Seattle-based hip-hop artists and performed the local festival circuit, garnering praise from The New York Times, Revolt and Spin among other outlets.
Raised in a musical household to the sounds of Stevie Wonder and Al Green, Renee Holiday’s roots are embedded in soul. Her formal declaration to become a singer came at the age of five when she danced across her living room to a VHS tape of a Sade concert. Since then, she has been subconsciously preparing for a life of performance, participating in cheerleading, gymnastics, theater productions and school recitals as a young girl.
