POLYCHROME RENEGADE
‘a wildly eclectic statement of defiance’
.
.
Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Rainie Zenith cements her refusal to conform with a debut album that dishes up surprise after surprise. It’s an album for the curious, for the adventurous, for those who are always craving more than the same old same old.
Dropping August 14, Polychrome Renegade is a kaleidoscope of theme, mood and genre. Diverse is an understatement for an album that runs the gamut from wistful to ecstatic to furious, exploring elements of pop, rock, folk, metal, cabaret, punk, and EDM.
The tracks are skilfully linked to take you on a cohesive journey through fits of rage at a wayward boyfriend, bouts of hormone-induced anguish, deeply pensive ballads, and even the search for a missing cat.

Polychrome Renegade includes the singles Piss-Soaked Ecstasy (which charted at #18 in the fan-voted 2023 Wettest 100 countdown), Pushing Thirty (which lodged in Canadian KB Radio’s Indie Top 40 for more than 10 weeks), and Reasons To Hate Me (Rainie Zenith’s debut single, which charted in Southern FM’s Big Aussie Breakfast Top 45 of the Year).
Video has always been a key aspect of Rainie Zenith’s work, and Polychrome Renegade is set to feature music videos for all tracks – seven of these are already available on YouTube, with the remaining three to be released following the official album drop.
Rainie Zenith is set to appear as part of the line up of Melbourne’s premier live music and networking event eXposure at Pockets Moorabbin on August 31, before kicking off her album launch tour at Open Studio on September 5. The tour will see her play at venues in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Wollongong – see below for details.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
