Hey, do you get to know that d’Z is out with a new song. It is a song from the well-known artist George Michael, titled Freedom and I think it is quite great. He collaborated with Sandra St. Victor, a soulful singer who has been nominated for the Grammy Awards twice.
So, it is quite nice to see that d’Z has provided vocals for the tenth time this time, which is quite unique for a drummer. They have also collaborated in the past on the song titled ‘CONNECTED’ and one can tell that they are good friends and understand each other’s muses well.
This radio edit of “Freedom” seems so new but at the same time, it gives me some certain feeling that I remember listening to in the past and that I like. Right from the first note this song has some energy which seems to pull you in. The drumming is on point as from the previous album of d’Z and they have incorporated this smooth fender rhodes sound that gives the music to the perfect feel.
Especially if she comes in singing those deep, powerful notes, it just brings the whole thing to another level. One thing that really stands out is that they have fully fleshed out the music with some funky horns, locked in rhythms, and even a Hammond organ. All of it culminates into this big finish where the trumpet and sax really lay it in extra.
What I like about it is that they are starting from scratch but at the same time they have found a way to pay tribute to the original. It has this perfect fusion of funk and soul which I knew both d’Z and Sandra lovers are going to enjoy.
Also, it is just a very nice way to pay homage to George Michael’s career and work. In case you like some soulful covers or just simple good music – this one is worth listening. It is the sort of recording that does not easily fade from memory.
