As the saying goes, not all heroes wear capes. In ‘Superman’, the new single from Austinbased artist Deann René, that’s certainly the case. Inspired by her son, ‘Superman’ is an uplifting and emotive Americana pop song dedicated to her son, who ultimately saved her life. ‘Superman’ was released earlier this year, ahead of her upcoming album ‘Paint a Dream,’ which is scheduled for release in January 2023. Deann René credits much of her songwriting inspiration from her personal life and ‘Superman’ is an ode to Deann René’s son, who rescued her from a difficult time. This song is about him being a hero in her life.

The track interweaves influences of pop, rock and Americana into a heartwarming ballad. With the strum of an acoustic guitar and the poignant flourishes of a piano, the song feels emotive, yet there’s a groove throughout that radiates hope. Deann René’s powerful and dynamic vocals paint a picture with meaningful lyrics, memorable melodies, and luscious harmonies that elevate the chorus. An electric guitar solo adds a layer of expression in the middle 8 while plucked strings crescendo into a final chorus of grooving bass lines, shaking tambourines, and ascending harmonies, accentuating Deann René’s voice. While the song stems from a dark time in René’s life, ‘Superman’ is about pure love and the connection between mother and son.
