If you tuned in to the first season of The X Factor USA, you likely remember Chris Rene, the Santa Cruz trash collector who stole the show with original jam Young Homie. While he ultimately finished third in the competition, program judge L.A. Reid was so taken by the hungry up-and-comer that he promptly signed the singer/songwriter to Epic Records. Today, Rene makes his grand entrance into The DJBooth with his first release as a major-label signee, debut promo single Trouble. A breezy ode to the perennial allure of the “bad girl,” this mellow summer jam finds producer Busbee layering reggae-tinged guitar strums over punchy hip-hop percussion as the singer describes how he fell for that woman his mother always warned him about. Though he knows he should run, all his protests are for naught—after the first encounter, he was permanently hooked. Time to weigh in, readers: are you as addicted to this single as Rene clearly is to the shawty in question? Then keep it locked; while there’s no word yet on a debut album, we’ll be sure to keep you supplied with all the latest tunes from Chris Rene.

I've been a Chris Rene fan since his debut on X Factor- from the first time I heard him perform, the lovelife message he purports resonated with my own philosophy of life. His soon-to-be released "Trouble" (June 26 on itunes) is another of his songs- the first time you hear, you will definitely be singing along. Another GREAT song by the one and only, original Young Homie.

Chris Rene has such AMAZING talent! His music is INSPIRING! It's great to hear music that comes straight from someone's heart and soul!!! He may not have "won" the xfactor but he is #1 in my heart and the hearts of the rest of the renelians and the lovelife army!!! He is so down to earth and so sweet to his fans, its crazy how much he cares about all of his fans! Whenever something is bothering me listening to his music always clears my head and reminds me that "its gonna be okay"!!! WE ?CHRIS RENE!!!!!! ?LOVE LIFE?
