We came dangerously close to having to see what a world without Jeremy Renner looks like earlier this year, when everyone’s favorite man (don’t deny it, you love him) was horribly injured while saving his nephew from a renegade, Maximum Overdrive-style snowplow. It then weirdly became one of the biggest pop culture stories in the world for several months as Renner tracked his recovery on Instagram, and then everyone just kind of moved on and we all forgot about Jeremy Renner for a while (at least to the extent that that’s possible).
But Renner is now back, and he has an exciting reveal about how he spent the last year: He was writing new music, specifically a “collection” that he’s calling Love And Titanium. In an Instagram post, Renner teased that the collection is about “different milestones” in his recovery journey, and that it’s been a “painful, deeply healing, and ultimately cathartic” experience to create.
Unfortunately, there’s a catch: Renner doesn’t know if he’ll have “the courage” to share the music publicly, despite the fact that the teaser art on his Instagram post (which features a cute emoji heart with some… Renner-ass metal shit surrounding it?) says “soon.” So is it “soon” or do you not have the “courage,” Jeremy??? We want to hear this music! A concept album about an actor getting crushed by a snowplow and his difficult road to recovery? It sounds great!
Or, you know, it sounds “great” in the way that Jeremy Renner’s other music is “great,” which is to say that if you closed your eyes and pictured what it would be like if Jeremy Renner made music, then there’s a good chance you would be completely correct. It’s the dictionary definition of Rock Music, which is fine. Let the man have his hobbies, and then let him release those hobbies to the public so we can hear it.
