PERSEPHONE IS THE SECOND SOLO ALBUM for this astonishing Canadian singer who lives at her own pace, away from fashion and the system.
A fan of Etta James, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday, Colleen Rennison first founded No Sinner, a soul blues rock group, before taking more personal paths. Recorded nine years after her first album (the very successful See the Sky About to Rain), Persephone is a timeless album. Music like we don't make anymore. Ultra- refined pop halfway between Dusty Springfield, Bobbie Gentry, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon.
"A heartbreaking voice, which alternates joy and suffering. Nine admirable, authentic songs that should establish Colleen Rennison as one of the new great artists of her time." - Rolling Stone France
"infectious groove and melodic sensibilities...
Rennison's ability to blend retro influences with her own unique style showcases her artistry and creativity."" - Couch Magazine
Colleen Rennison is an internationally acclaimed vocalist known for her magnetic stage presence and unmistakable, soul-stirring sound "a velvet heartbreaker with a voice that lingers long after the last note. Blending classic soul, country, and vintage pop, she delivers performances that are both electrifying and deeply intimate-timeless in sound, yet charged with raw, unguarded emotion.
Over the past decade, Rennison has captivated audiences across international stages, first gaining recognition as the frontwoman of No Sinner, where her spine-tingling, deeply expressive vocals drew comparisons to some of the great voices of soul and blues. Her music echoes the sounds that define generations while remaining distinctly her own rich, cinematic, and deeply human.
Her upcoming single, 'Mr. Sad,' will be released August 2026
