From the warm beaches and lively cities of Southern California, an artist is creating so much buzz in the music scene. Zarenae, who made a debut in 2022 with the single “You”, is finally back with more music after delivering a big debut EP entitled “Things I Didn’t Say”.

“Things I Didn’t Say” is a collection of tracks that served as her voice when words in certain situations failed to work.

It is engaging, chill, and smooth; Zarenae’s voice is very soulful and soothing which made the whole listening experience feel fresh and enjoyable.

From enjoyable to relatable, the song “One In a Million” comes next. It’s crazy how this song resonates – if you have someone that you are yearning for right at this moment, this song is definitely for you. Although it is giving a chill vibe, this is the type of song that you can dance to in a club *with your crushie* Ha! It is fun, chill, and sexy at the same time.
“So High” is a track that showcases the versatility of Zarenae as an artist. It is a track that could guarantee that would make you high. The delivery of the song is just stunning.
