The man with many hats, Tenroc, has released his first single under Provident Label Group titled “Playlist.” As Tenroc gets the ball rolling on his forthcoming debut album, “Playlist” is pacing for the uphill journey ahead. But, if you’re like me, it’ll remind you why music is always the best form of escape and the perfect medium for expression.
Chances are you already know the work of Tenroc, as the multi-talented artist has had his hand in crafting amazing pieces for the likes of the Jonas Brothers, Rihanna, Renee Rapp, and Jon Bellion.
So, just how good is this fresh big step? Does “Playlist” have the momentum to make it up the hill? Let’s find out.
“Playlist” is a spirit-lifting affair for the senses. What Tenroc manages to accomplish within the track’s first few seconds is pure bliss, like stepping outside for a walk first thing in the morning while the sun is still playing peekaboo over the horizon. The analogies I could give for Tenroc’s new single are in an infinite supply, as I listened with a smile firmly planted on my face from beginning to end.
It’s each little note, beat, and melody that fulfills the childlike wonderment that first attracted me to music so many years ago while finding out the personality I wanted to construct. The carefree nature that Tenroc brings to the table with “Playlist” is playful, entrancing, and brings my inner child out as I found myself dancing with no worries across my house floor. It’s the infectious attitude that’s present that will have me listening to this one for hours that blend into months that blur into years.
“Playlist” isn’t trying to be a genre-defining masterpiece, and I would like to believe it’s this notion that it’s a plain and simple FUN piece of music that has me so attached to what Tenroc has to say within the track’s overarching religious themes. For myself, the question beckoned: when did music begin to cater to an algorithm instead of the human soul? It’s the human touch plastered throughout each lyric, each hard-hitting note that makes this one special.
Tenroc’s new single, “Playlist,” is everything I love about music and more. It’s a simple in nature yet soul-filling track that had me wanting to go for a walk while spinning and dancing my heart out just like Tenroc in the accompanying music video. It’s an uplifting tune for peace of mind folks who want to leave the pressures of the world behind, just for a little mental escape into a jungle gym-staged soundscape that’ll leave you with a smile that might have been missing for quite some time.
With Tenroc hard at work putting in the soulful touch into his upcoming debut album, “Playlist” proves to be a powerful first showcase into the mind of this creative soul, and I’m very much looking forward to hearing the remaining puzzle pieces.
Though there are no further details on Tenroc’s forthcoming major label debut, further info should make its way out into the world as 2026 continues to spin on with “Playlist” now being available to stream on your streaming service of choice.
