Soft Girl & Plastic Boy

A queer teenage love story

On Album 8 of 12 in ALBUM-A-MONTH 2021, JohnJRenns tells an endearing queer romance in a multi-movement pop suite. Using vocal samples from the discography of renowned Pittsburgh musician Jeff Burgess, Renns uses his voice and lyrics to tell a story of two transgender teenagers in a love story transcending societal norms. As Album of the Year reviewer Supertartory puts it, "Renns shows an immense understanding for the queer experience and an immense appreciation for it too. (...) This is an amazing piece of queer music that I would recommend to anyone looking for something to resonate with."
