"Rental" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American boy band Brockhampton, released on December 15, 2017, as a single from their third studio album Saturation III (2017).

Composition

"Rental" is a pop-oriented song that features melodic performances from Kevin Abstract, Dom McLennon and Matt Champion,[1] with synthesizers and 808s in the instrumental,[2] which also has a recurring beeping during the chorus.[1]

Critical reception

Veronica Irwin of The Quietus commented the song "deserves recognition for the contrast between melodic fuzzy synths and crisp tapping 808s".[2] In a review of Saturation III, Hypebeast wrote the song "has the best deployment of autotune on the album, especially on Mclennon's verse."[1]

Variety placed "Rental" at number ten on their list of Brockhampton's 15 best songs.[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by Kevin Abstract and filmed in Brooklyn, New York.[4] It opens with Robert Ontenient in a bathtub eating a banana and announcing the end of the Saturation trilogy,[5] and sees Brockhampton members hanging around in various locations.[6]
