Charlie Freeman, who goes by the stage name FREE/MAN, is a London-based singer-songwriter who introduces his new music project, the powerful four-track EP "RECONNECTION". The intimate EP, clocking in at over 14 minutes, offers the audience a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of love, truth, freedom, spirituality, and yielding. After receiving extensive critical acclaim for his first project, Freeman cements his status in the alt-soul and acoustic rock genre, combining lyrics that reach the heart with music that moves the soul.
"Reconnection" serves as a lead-up to his highly anticipated second LP, "Gifts in the Shadows," providing audiences with an early look at the sound and lyrical shifts that characterise his new chapter. The EP opens with "Not Tomorrow", a soulful and lyrically intimate track that highlights Freeman’s ability to intertwine melodious despair and lyrical depth. Driven by tender G chord progressions and singing, the song’s sing-along melody permits audiences a video glimpse of the inevitability of time and the choices that shape who we are.
On the other end of the spectrum, "Two Witches" has a gloomier, almost ominous vibe that showcases Freeman’s versatility as a songwriter. The song's moody instrumentation and poetic lyricism transport the audience to a mystical reality where intuition unites love and conflict. The album's driving force is the high contrast in tone and setting, a theme that permeates every track.
The other two songs explore Freeman’s sound code further, mixing soft acoustic sounds with subtle alt-rock punch. Every lyric and note is designed to provoke emotions, feelings that last long after the music stops spinning. RECONNECTION is more than a set of album tracks. This album represents an affirmation of Charlie Freeman’s ongoing artistic journey as he strives to fully express the human soul. His ability to craft sophisticated yet vulnerable lyrics makes this EP stand out, whether you are a long-time fan or just discovering his work.
