Sam Smith has released his second ballad of the year. ‘Love is a Stillness’ was built around a piano, and in ‘To Be free’ the protagonist is the guitar. Apart from that, and if it weren’t for the final climb, it would be equally boring.
If ‘Love is a Stillness’ looked like a carol, in ‘To Be Free’ a gospel choir that enters half the song has all the weight, in a piece that speaks mainly of freedom, although very generally. “I pray because your heart is light / brave and free as mine / floating like a pen / hope expects later,” the British artist sings.
Smith details that the song was written 5 years ago and that he is co -written with his friend Simon Aldred, but he has not yet clarified anything about an upcoming album. Yes, he has advanced that ‘to be free’ is part of a project and that “the incredible choir” that appears on this subject will be present in more songs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsjy3lvwgkwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1dteqxwkzs
