In 2025, Scotland-based vocalist Ferdinand Rennie offers a fresh take on one of the most heartfelt songs in his catalogue with “Someone to Remember Me”, written in 2010. This remake of the track, written by Wayne Hector and Steve Robson, continues to be produced by Rennie’s long-time collaborator, Alan Vukelic, and infuses an expanded sound into a sentimental ballad with pre-existing emotional heft.
From the upfront piano note, the power and tenderness of Rennie's vocals come front and centre, and as he sings every lyric coloured with the emotion that stems from a lived experience. The updated arrangement is lush (but not overwhelming), the piano lines are soft, the strings are warm, and there are gentle crescendos, all surrounding the voice and leaving the song's poignant message to speak for itself.
This remake does not simply feel like going back into the studio to re-record the song; it feels like taking a step back and reflecting as a mature artist. After years gone by, the depth and resonance in Rennie's remake allow it to become a track that feels like fine whisky; no doubt it has ripened.
For fans who are a bit more seasoned, it's a chance to hear a favorite song reinterpreted; for new listeners, it's an introduction to a singer with a remarkable mix of technique and authenticity of story. "Someone to Remember Me" is not just something to listen to, but something to feel, and it resonates long after the last note dissipates.
