Cynthia Renee calls out to Every Girl Needs A Bestie
By Alan Shipston for Country Music News International Magazine
Country singer songwriter, Cynthia Renee, from Sacramento, California has released her latest power single on Twelve Seventeen/ SSM Records Nashville. Drawing inspiration from Olivia Newton- John and Carrie Underwood, Renee adds her own unique sultry voice to Every Girl Needs A Bestie, a song that extols the virtues of a best friend who never lets you down. With a little bit of country soul singing, “She’s always there when you need her, anytime day or night you can call her up, and when some stupid male plays games with your heart, she’s always there to tell you how wrong he was,” Cynthia delivers the edict that true friends are the ones who make life’s journey sweeter.
With a mid tempo arrangement backing her, Renee brings her twang to this girl powered anthem flavored with acoustic and electric guitars spelling out the rhythm. A simple yet effective clean electric takes the intros and turn arounds, reinforcing a captivating country radio sound. The solid production has all the earmarks of a well written and performed song that leans into Renee’s roots with lines like, “Ride or die, low or high, never let me down or forget me, every girl needs a bestie.”
Two of her previous singles, Good On Me and Working On A Hangover, received significant acclaim during their domestic US country wide release, topping several national music charts. Have A Heart For A Hero, her last release, rose up the charts and was nominated for a Josie Independent music award for social impact video of the year. Cynthia has been featured on popular platforms in the Sacramento area and has done multi station country radio tours throughout Alabama and Tennessee. She has shared the stage with Uncle Kracker and rising star, Chase Bryant, as well as performing alongside Lady A and Maddie and Tae. Renee’s seasoned vocal talents have been showcased singing the National Anthem at NBA games, Nascar races and the National World of Outlaws.
Since signing with Twelve Seventeen in 2023, Cynthia Renee’s career has been in a robust upwards swing and her latest single, Every Girl Needs A Bestie, continues on that successful track.
