renforshort is a rising 18-year-old singer-songwriter from Toronto, Canada. Not too long ago, she released a stunning audiovisual for her “virtual reality” single.

renforshort – “virtual reality” music video

“‘virtual reality’ is a song that tackles many topics. But at its core, it really is about anxiety, routine, boredom, isolation, loneliness, and fear. I think a lot of people have a very unhealthy relationship with technology. Because it’s never really been restricted enough to consider mental health and overall health. And that has f***ed so many people up, now more than ever.” – renforshort explained

‘virtual reality’ contains a social-relatable narrative, mesmerizing vocals, and introspective lyrics. The stadium-friendly tune possesses energetic instrumentation flavored with an alternative-pop vibration. Furthermore, “virtual reality” serves as a tasty appetizer of what listeners can expect to hear on renforshort’s upcoming sophomore EP. Also, the song finds the artist-to-watch connecting with Kellen Pomeranz (Pom Pom), Jesse Fink, and (Beabadoobee collaborator) Pete Robertson.

The Iris Kim-directed music video finds renforshort in a simulation, representing a heightened version of the reality we live in now. Also, the video highlights how every day feels the same, and any acts of deviation are punished.

“Ever since I was young, social media has played a major role in my mental wellbeing and I became so accustomed to it. It became a part of my routine and it came before everything else. The moment I wake up, almost instinctively, I check my phone. Depending on what I see in the morning, basically determines how I’m gonna feel for the rest of the day. I hate it. But I can’t stop. And what’s most ironic about this all is you’re likely going to read this on social media or listen to the song on some sort of electronic device.” – renforshort explained

renforshort has been met with wide critical acclaim thanks to her repertoire of über–popular tunes. After signing with Interscope Records, she released her debut EP, entitled, “teenage angst,” in 2020. Since then, renforshort has accumulated millions of streams online and a lot of love from her adoring supporters.

“I don’t wanna live my life on the internet. I already smoke electronic cigarettes. Been inside the last six months and I’m sick of it. Yeah, I need something real, I need something real. I don’t wanna live my life on thе internet, I just wanna go outside like a kid again. I’ve been here the last six months and I’m sick of it. Yeah, I need something real, I need something real.” – lyrics
