FREEMAN Shares New Song “London Nights”
London-based singer-songwriter Charlie Freeman, aka FREEMAN has delivered a new song “London Nights”.
The song will appear on his upcoming sophomore album “Love”, which is expected to be released this summer.
“London Nights” was written during a writing session with Freeman’s Producer and band mate Jamie Brown.
“The opening riff for "London Nights" flew in from the ether and for weeks after we couldn’t stop singing it. Soon after that riff had arrived, Jamie had jumped on the stand-up piano in his living room and I was throwing out a verse idea which immediately stuck,” Charlie Freeman said of the song. “Lyrically, I wanted to capture the irony of the big city, a metropolis literally packed full of people, that can nevertheless remain one of loneliest places in the world. Meeting someone special in amongst the madness and the crowds can be tough. We’re all looking for that special connection. This song is about loneliness being replaced by joy; about a bad, mad world becoming much more forgiving upon making a special connection. A true friend. A true love. A song about overcoming fear and letting in the love.”- In 2018, FREEMAN released his debut album "Truth", which was recorded live at vintage studio Eastcote using a tape and analogue set up, adding to FREEMAN’s authentically classic sound. The first five singles from Truth have all picked up BBC radio play, including a live session at BBC London and “BBC featured artist of the week.”
