Jeremy Renner offers sick world a treatment it hasn't asked for with new EP, The Medicine

Jeremy Renner, in between denying abuse allegations and reminding people that Hawkeye is actually a really popular superhero, has been hard at work launching a parallel career as a singer-songwriter. To date, we’ve only been given tiny glimpses of Renner’s musical stylings, but now, the coronavirus pandemic offering a seemingly irresistible opportunity, he’s decided to grace us with the surprise release of his EP, The Medicine.

The lead single’s music video has also been released to mark the occasion and, in short, it sounds exactly like what you think a Jeremy Renner song would sound like. Over floating lyrics and footage of the actor doing his best Blue Steel faces in the studio, an auto-tuned Renner sings like he wants to fuck (no, make love) to your ear over an instantly forgettable radio-rock instrumental. It’s really bad, but, considering the tracks Renner’s released before, probably could’ve been a whole lot worse.
