Renea's reinvention has been thoroughly successful — so much so that it's started to confuse old collaborators. In her past life, she placed songs with Monica, known for classics like "Before You Walk Out of My Life" and "So Gone." The R&B veteran liked Muni Long's new track "Sneaky Link" and brought her down to Atlanta, excited to work with what she thought was a new act. It wasn't until the two took a break from the studio and made a trip to Waffle House that Monica realized that Long was, in fact, Renea, and that she'd cut her songs in the past.
Renea laughs at that one, but she's in a much stranger position with record labels
