After nearly early years of waiting, Vincent Belorgey’s undead night drifter persona has once again risen to deliver some high speed, French thrills.

Renegade hits off with a violent, slapping beat on a steady groove and features a grandiose, larger-than-life chorus delivered by Brooklyn-based musician and producer Cautious Clay. After Daft Punk and Gesaffelstein’s big singles featuring The Weeknd, ‘Renegade’ firmly sets the upcoming comeback record Reborn in this new decade of Rnb-driven French touch production whilst retaining the core Kavinsky blueprint.

The Parisian producer even appears to start off this new chapter with a nod to his genre-defining debut album with the line “I’m on the run with you”.

If that’s anything to go by, it looks like the new Kavinsky record is going to deliver all that the retrowave scene has been yearning for the past decade.

Now rejoice, tune in and groove out to the sound of a king back on his throne.

Kavinsky ‘Renegade’ is out now on all streaming platforms.

A new single titled “Renegade” is scheduled to drop one month from now, on November 19^th 2021. The newly unveiled teaser image also unveils that a full-length effort is also on the way. The aptly titled ‘Reborn’ would serve as the artist’s sophomore album and his first release in over eight years.

Die-hard fans will be delighted to find that Kavinsky has stayed true to retro aesthetic that marked his first few releases. The teaser poster is an obvious nod to James Cameron’s Terminator 2, and features Belorgey in his old red-eyed blue zombie persona.

All signs seem to point at a grand return for the producer and a historic moment for the Synthwave scene, and although one month is but the briefest amount of time in the grand scheme of things, the anticipation is sure to make this next month a long one.
