free$ is back with his new single “im only human,” and he’s once again showcasing that the practice of transcending genre tropes is where he finds his wheelhouse. The song immediately grabs you with a cool, rhythmic pulse that is both new and very much old. There is a willful equilibrium here, trap energy rubs up against Afrobeat swagger, all served over an irresistible R&B pulse that refuses to stay in one lane.
“im only human” is enthralling in its refusal to be hampered by fear. free$ allows genres to speak by providing lush melodies and introspective lyrics for percussion. It’s a danceable yet meditative track, leaving listeners room to move and reflect at the same time. The track is delivered with a raw honesty that runs like a seam through every note, making it clear that beneath the production polish is the sound of an honest-to-goodness human voice trying to make sense of life, love, and other things.
The song embraces personal truths without coming off as preachy or labored. It shows free$’s fluidity, confidently straddling multiple musical worlds while retaining cohesion and identity. free$ shows that the best changes come from thinking big, big enough to return to the human side of creativity, put your faith in yourself, and trust your gut.
