Rising Pop Singer Ren, 17, Releases Video for ‘I Drive Me Mad’ Inspired by Her Battle with Anxiety

-

Rising pop singer-songwriter Ren is channeling her struggles into art.

The 17-year-old Canadian native dropped an emotional video Thursday for her latest single “i drive me mad,” a feverish track inspired by her own battles with anxiety and panic attacks.

“‘I drive me mad’ was a really important song to me because it’s a look inside my brain and the anxiety and panic I deal with nearly every day,” says the singer in a statement.

The song was written after a “really bad panic attack,” she adds. “It made it so honest and easy to write. It’s the first song I’m putting out that I feel like has a really important relatable message, and I’m super excited about this one.”

Last week, Ren teased her new track on Instagram, telling fans that anxiety is something “I’ve been trying to deal for a while now.”

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far
