With “Nine Lives,” Savannah Ré isn’t just flexing lyrical muscle—she’s shaping resilience into something tactile, sensual, and deeply personal. The Toronto singer-songwriter has long navigated the more nuanced edges of modern R&B, but this time, she sharpens every line into a statement of survival.

Produced by YogiTheProducer and Kevin Kofo, the track wraps its message in a minimal, pulsing beat—roomy enough to let Ré’s voice stretch between defiance and intimacy. The hook plays with feline myth and feminine power, but its impact lands far beyond clever wordplay. “Nine Lives” is not about invincibility—it’s about endurance through reinvention. It’s about knowing exactly why someone spins the block, and not needing to follow them when they do.

Unlike much of contemporary R&B that leans into softness or vulnerability as the only measure of emotional honesty, Ré opts for something grittier. Her power here isn’t in how she breaks—it’s in how she refuses to. And when she sings about the body as both battleground and birthplace, it’s not for shock value. It’s reclamation.

Following February’s “Glory,” “Nine Lives” sets the tone for Ré’s upcoming project with Matrimony Records. If this track is any indication, she’s done explaining herself. She’s building her catalog like a memoir—layered, lyrical, and unapologetically hers.

In a genre still trying to define what strength looks like for women, Savannah Ré is already living it.
