Taylor Deblock's long-awaited "Set Free" has quickly become embedded in our playlists as a soulful, alternative bop perfect for marking summer’s end. In this track, DeBlock sings of realized freedom, as he's just now "woke up from a bad dream" and is ready to take on the world under a new perspective. DeBlock talks about the progression of life and the discovering of one’s own identity while also addressing all of the uncertainties that come with growing up. "Set Free" is a fresh, coming-of-age track that not only fits perfectly into DeBlock's own narrative but also provides listeners with a hopeful message to take with us as we emerge from summer. With this song, we are assured that things will work out in due time, that we should embrace ourselves as well as our surroundings even if it can be overwhelming at times. DeBlock's song is a sign of change, chance, and transformation as we enter the new chapters in our lives and flourish beyond our preconceived capacity. "Set Free', in all of its enjoyability and funkiness, is a stirring track that's a soon-to-be fan favorite!





"Set Free" is 3 minutes and 18 seconds of pure bliss for our ears. The song first opens with vibey acoustics accompanied by faint drums that trickle in the background, which serve as just enough to get our heads bopping and our bodies moving. When Deblock enters with his warm, rich tone, we are serenaded with sweet riffs as he establishes himself as a dexterously powerful vocalist. One of the most musically satisfying parts of the song would have to be the pre-chorus, which has this beautiful chord progression and slight pace shift that draws us in for the main melody. DeBlock presents us with a strong chorus that varies as the track keeps playing, alternating between golden high notes and a strong chest voice. Throughout the song, the listener is met with addictive minor chords that give the song a sharp edge that one simply cannot get enough of. DeBlock's "Set Free" is a jazzy gem that captures the alternative, R&B sound that we have grown to love! Wrapping up the song with an impactful bridge, tons of musicality, and a profound emotional impact, DeBlock leaves audiences with that feel-good melody stuck in our heads!
