Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Freeman Young revealed his new single, "No Nevermind," out on July 10-listen HERE!
Over smooth guitar, Freeman sings intimate verses with palpable emotion on "No Nevermind." The song builds towards the hypnotic chorus, "I can't get out of my head." Ultimately, "No Nevermind" fuses alternative ambition, indie vulnerability and soul spirit as it encourages a deep look inward without judgement.
Of the inspiration behind the song, Freeman says, "I've lost count of how many times I'd overthink the most trivial thing then beat myself up for overthinking about it. I've missed a million Kodak moments living in my head. 10/10 would not recommend. Get up out of your head. Get after it."
"No Nevermind" is the follow up to Young's debut single "Running Back" released in May, which Alfitude praised as "a magnificent blend of RnB and indie, fused together in a very unique and refreshing way."
Stay tuned for more new music from Freeman Young in 2020.
ABOUT FREEMAN YOUNG
For as much as Freeman Young roots his music in smooth guitar, percussion and timbre, he also pins it to a singular journey as "a flawed kid" and boundary-agnostic musician. Freeman Young's first chapter unfolded in the blue-collar city of Surrey, BC, Canada.
Born to Jamaican immigrants, he grew up in a town of "houses from the seventies occupied by families who work three jobs." Inspired by everything from D'Angelo, Radiohead and Jeff Buckley to Kings of Leon and Coldplay, this mélange of influences ultimately dictated the course of his creativity. In between a series of short-lived projects, he played keyboards in a local reggae group, learning arrangements from much older members.
During 2016, he co-founded production collective The Expo Liners alongside lifelong collaborator Xander Miller and friends Franco and Miguel Maravilla. They spent countless hours cooking up beats out of a house in Vancouver before eventually uploading a demo version of "Awreddy" to Soundcloud and stoking very early buzz. After agreeing, "Fuck it, let's move to L.A. and see what happens," the four friends piled into a car and drove for 24 hours to the City of Angels.
Freeman eventually inked a deal with Republic and crafted what would become his debut project in Los Angeles, introduced by the singles "Running Back" and "No Nevermind."
