“All I Have” by Terra Renae is a moving pop album that takes the listener through Renae’s journey of self-discovery. Renae, a notable pop artist emerging from Louisville, Kentucky, offers compelling narratives, captiving production, and impactful vocals with this seven-song body of work. The album is an impressive debut filled with vulnerability and authenticity. Through Renae’s exploration of her inner and outer world, she inspires the listener to self-reflect and find strength in their ability to grow and love.
The album opens with “Lights Down Low,” a pretty love song based around acoustic instrumentation. A tapping beat moves the song along, and the sweep into the soaring chorus heightens the emotions in a satisfying way. Renae sings about finding peace in her love, even when the world around her is completely chaotic. She sings “I’m always on the go, but I’d rather have you around” and “even if the world explodes, I’ve got you by my side,” expressing just how steady this love makes her. Her sweet, warm vocal performance adds a layer of lovestruck intimacy to the track.
Another standout song on the album is the title track, “All I Have.” A pulsing, heavy beat builds the backbone of the song as the impassioned vocals and layered harmonies glide through the track. Unique sonic textures add tension and tenacity to the track as Renae sings about building herself up with her own words. Even if other people criticize or abandon you, if you have yourself you’ll be okay. Lines like “all I have are these words, and I’m gonna shout them out,” are inspiring and touching.
