Renegade (Big Red Machine song)

Last updated

This song was something we wrote after we finished evermore and it dawned on us that this was a BRM [Big Red Machine] song. Taylor's words hit me so hard when I heard her first voice memo and still do, every time. Justin lifted the song further into the heavens, and my brother's (Bryce Dessner) strings and drummer Jason Treuting add so much. The feeling and sound of this song feel very much at the heart of How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last? ; I'm so grateful to Taylor for continuing to share her incredible talent with me and that we are still finding excuses to make music together.

— Aaron Dessner on "Renegade" to Zane Lowe, Pitchfork [1]

American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift collaborated with Aaron Dessner, the guitarist of American indie rock band the National, and Justin Vernon, the vocalist of Bon Iver, on her eighth and ninth studio albums released in 2020, Folklore and Evermore, respectively. In a December 2020 interview for Rolling Stone , Dessner said that Swift had been writing songs for the upcoming project of Big Red Machine, a band consisting of Dessner and Vernon; two of those songs, "Dorothea" and "Closure", ended up appearing on the track-listing of Evermore instead. [2] Dessner further produced two tracks on Swift's 2021 re-recording, Fearless (Taylor's Version) . [3] Two songs—"Renegade" and "Birch"—were recorded by Swift for Big Red Machine, at her Los Angeles home studio, Kitty Committee, in the week ending March 19, 2021, the same week Swift and Dessner had won Album of the Year for Folklore at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. [4] Vernon recorded additional vocals at his studio, April Base. [5]

On April 13, 2021, Vernon previewed new music on his Instagram account, in which he shared a brief clip of a forthcoming collaboration with Swift, [6] saying "that's the awesome Taylor one. I think this should be the single". [7] On June 27, 2021, a cryptic teaser was posted to Big Red Machine's social media. It depicted videos of Vernon and Dessner, and shots of Swift's penning lyrics. [8] On June 29, 2021, the band revealed their second studio album, How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last?, its release date, cover artwork and track listing; "Birch" and "Renegade" placed fourth and fifth in the list, respectively, featuring Swift's vocals on both. [9] "Latter Days" featuring Anaïs Mitchell was released as the lead single on the same day, [10] followed by "The Ghost of Cincinnati" on the next day. [11] "Renegade" was released as the next single on July 2, 2021, [12] impacting U.S. adult album alternative radio on the same day. [13] Another teaser was posted to the band's social media on July 1, 2021, a 14-second long snippet with Swift's vocals, captioned with a link to a YouTube video that premiered at midnight EDT, [14] the lyric video of "Renegade" directed by Michael Brown. [1] "Renegade" was serviced to the U.S. adult contemporary radio as well, on July 12, 2021. [15] On August 17, a pop version of the song was released. [16]

A renegade is someone who has rejected lawful or conventional behavior. [12] Addressed in second person, "Renegade" has the narrator describe how the subject's anxiety and fear are obstacles for the narrator's love for the subject. [17] The song ends with the question "Is it insensitive for me to say, get your shit together so I can love you?", with the outcome remaining uncertain. [18] "Renegade" is set in a C major key. Swift's vocals range between E3 and G4. [19] It has a fast tempo of 168 beats per minute. [20]

"Renegade" is performed by Swift as the lead vocalist, backed by Vernon's additional vocals. [5] The song was written by Dessner and Swift. Dessner stated he was emotionally struck the first time he heard Swift talk about "how anxiety and fear get in the way of loving someone or create an inability for someone to love". Renegade sums up that emotion with a "fairly experimental" sound. It is an upbeat, [21] alternative indie, [22] indie pop, [23] indie folk, [22] and folk pop song [24] with strings by Dessner and drums by So Percussion's Jason Treuting. [1] [25] Swift's vocal delivery is wordy, punctuated by brief plucks of gentle acoustic guitar and "rolling" synthesizers. The song ends with a polyphony of layered harmonies of Swift and Vernon. [26] [27]

Critical reception

Spin critic Josh Chesler called "Renegade" an indie pop "banger", [23] Lauren Huff of Entertainment Weekly dubbed it an earworm, [28] and Variety 's Jonathan Cohen said the song continued "the more musically adventurous vein" of Swift's latest work with Dessner, using emotionally stirring couplets. [25] Robin Murray, wiring for Clash , dubbed the song " love-struck melodrama" with "piercing" lyrics. [29] Nina Corcoran of Consequence wrote that "Renegade" is a "folk-pop earworm" with Swift's "future classic" lyrics. [24] Mary Siroky of the same publication said that the song's focus is "someone refusing to let love in", about "how many times someone can be turned away while waiting patiently for the subject of their affection to realize it's ok to ask for help, and, sometimes, for forgiveness". Siroky also praised the diction and honesty of Swift's songwriting. [18]

NPR's Stephen Thompson stated that Swift, in the song, "stares down a relationship that's become more toxic and labor-intensive than she'd been led to expect". He highlighted the lyric "Is it insensitive for me to say, 'Get your shit together so I can love you'?" and concluded "Renegade" sounds like a Swift song featuring Big Red Machine than the band featuring her. [30] Devon Ivie of Vulture appreciated the song's "memorable" couplets. [31] Pitchfork 's rock critic Quinn Moreland said "Renegade" combines Swift's "thoughtful" 2020 songwriting with the "exploratory landscape" of Dessner and Vernon, and found the relationship described in the song as "claustrophobic and tangled in anxiety to the point of mutual destruction", filled with "frustration and indecision", juxtaposed against a "bright and warm" composition. Moreland added that Vernon and Swift’s "dueling" harmonies spiral together into "a cocoon of confusion". [26]

Savannah Roberts of Capital FM wrote "Renegade" depicts the effects mental health issues can have on "budding" relationships, and compared its lyrical style to Swift's older songs, such as "Call It What You Want" (2017) and "The Archer" (2019). [22] Tatiana Tenreyro, reviewing for The A.V. Club admired the indie direction of Swift's recent works, and remarked that "Renegade" does not contain the "hyper-specific details" of her 2020 albums, but "a more relatable track, one that rings true to anyone who's been with an inadequate partner." Tenreyro added that Swift "undercuts the power of the person she's addressing—the one leading her on without being able to commit—by turning the tables and forcing them to confront their shit via her lyrical zingers." [27] Jon Pareles of The New York Times commended Swift's "melodic sense and personality", her abrupt and "symmetrical" phrases, and Dessner's production details, such as "multilayered drones, tendrils of electric and acoustic guitar", and Vernon's "distant" backing vocals. [32] Billboard writer Jason Lipshutz said the sonic texture of "Renegade" derives from the works by the National, with its "all skittering beats and emotional warfare for adults", but Swift's imprint in that musical territory "remains thrilling, even after many months and multiple Bon Iver duets". He concluded that the song is as "satisfying" as "Exile" (2020), Swift's first duet with Vernon. [33]
