“It started as their story, but it quickly became mine, the song transformed into a reflection on breaking free from my own troubles, my own vices, and destructive behaviours. It’s about the courage to face yourself, not just someone else.” – Shannon Smith.
Musically, the track blends folk, Americana, and classic pop elements, featuring rich acoustic guitars, stirring piano, and the haunting echo of pedal steel. Smith’s raw and emotive vocals bring the song to life, making it a compelling preview of what’s to come on ‘Out of the Shadows’.
With the album delving into themes of love, mistakes, and self-reckoning, Shannon Smith is ready to step into the spotlight. Listen to ‘Break Free’ now and prepare for the full album release this May!
