We premiere Alice Ant’s remix of Ren Harvieu’s newest single, “Tonight” – released today – and speak to her about debut album, Through the Night<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you please with Through the Night’<\/em>s reception? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, really pleased and quite surprised that it\u2019s been accepted. Feedback has been stronger than I thought – not just from critics but from everyday people as well, which is just as important if not more. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s been roughly a year since your accident [Harvieu was injured at a party in Manchester, were she was born]. How have you gone about recovering from it, emotionally and physically?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel positive about it, but it\u2019s been a year and I\u2019m still not mended. I feel a little bit weird about it all, but it could have been worse, so I\u2019ve just got to try and stick to the positive side. It\u2019s really easy to start being bitter. <\/p>\n

Johnny Marr offered his support – how and when did he get in touch?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was through a mutual friend – he\u2019d been listening to a singer called Lauren for ages and he didn\u2019t know we were the same person. So he was like \u201cyou\u2019re Ren, you\u2019re Lauren?\u201d He was a massive inspiration for me growing up, so it feels like you\u2019re getting a pat on the shoulder. He was saying he\u2019s been blasting my tunes in the studio.<\/p>\n

How did you feel about Nas getting in contact with you, too?<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s brilliant. My mum\u2019s a big fan, which is a bit weird. I went to see him in Manchester and sat on the side of the stage next and I was dressed like a full goth. I went to his backstage area and there was all these women outside and I crept in, they were all like \u201cwho\u2019s that?\u201d It was surreal. I just accepted that it was a strange situation and had fun with it.<\/p>\n
