FREE/MAN’s single “Lay On” is both inspirational and deeply moving. The song is relevant to issues of strength, love, and connection with everyone around the world. Freeman blends acoustic forms of rock with soul and delivers a track that is both unique and relatable. It’s easy to see that he wrote it during a period of profound personal growth because its touch resonates with the audience forever. It teaches one to endure all of life’s challenges with grace, while also embracing meaning in connection.
The song starts with a melodic guitar arrangement, inviting listeners into warm soundscapes. The first feeling primitive piano gives is conjoined with Freeman’s raw, powerful vocals. His voice is the driving force of the song. While many might argue that anthems tend to revolve around strength and empowerment, this song manages to encapsulate vulnerability and strength simultaneously. He delivers the lyrics like a direct, unguarded conversation. Shifting themes, the dramatic rise of the guitar revolves around the truth of embracing pain and discovering freedom. These are common struggles Freeman constantly spoke about overcoming in his life. The beauty of the song “Lay On” lies in how deeply genuine it is. Rather than portraying music as a concept, Freeman chooses to reflect it as a heartwarming experience. The song echoes everyone who has faced difficulties and come out stronger. His blend of voice, tenor guitar and drums creates powerful yet simple music that brings comfort to his listeners. It’s jaw-dropping, powerful, and motivating enough to leave a lasting impact.
The new re-issue offer takes a look at the album ‘Gift in the Shadows’ which will be released in 2025 and promises more tracks with a thematic focus on duality, spirituality and human connection. Even at the surface level, Freeman’s commitment to healing and soul-inspiring music manages to shine through every note. Especially it’s a must-listen for proponents of sonic acoustic rock and soul as well as music with a purpose in “Lay On”. Now with an international audience and big plans ahead, FREE/MAN is an artist to keep an eye on.
