The heartwarming, melodic, self-affirming vibe of this song can be felt straight away. 'Freedom Road' is splendidly written and composed by Cory M. Coons. With traditional acoustic instrumental elements, we are also treated to a slow-paced, smooth and creamy theme. As we sink into the music, drums are introduced, setting a consistent rhythm and paving the way for a mesmerising vocal performance. The transition from verse to the chorus is exceptional, adding depth and clarity, supporting the emotive lyrics. Cory's vocal range and harmonies are outstanding with natural vibrato bringing life to those sustained notes.
Flooded with emotions and passion, in spite of being soft and light, the energy of this song is layered with creative bridge sections and an impactful guitar solo that strengthens a message of liberation. Moving towards the end of the song we are gifted with a much more powerful chorus characterised by many variations showing us the highest potential of this piece in every way. The absolutely stunning, influential and remarkable song 'Freedom Road' by Cory M. Coons is a true work of art and medicine for the soul.
Definitely listen to this amazing single on Spotify.
