When I created 'Freedom,' I was going through a really tough time. It felt like everything was against me, like I was chained in the dark with no way out. But even in that darkness, I found myself clinging to my faith and the support of my community. The song is a testament to that journey, from feeling completely broken to finding strength in God. It's about knowing that even when the devil is trying to take you down, there's a higher power watching over you, ready to lift you up.
The Afrobeat rhythms and gospel influences just came naturally. I wanted to create something that would make people feel uplifted and empowered, something they could dance to while also connecting with a deeper message. The lyrics are a reminder that no matter what we're facing, there's always hope for a brighter future. I wanted to create a sonic experience that reflects my own journey from hardship to hope, celebrating the joy and resilience found in faith and community.
'Freedom' is more than just a song to me; it's a personal anthem. It's a reminder that with faith and community, we can overcome anything and reach for the stars. I hope it inspires others to find their own freedom, to dance through the darkness, and to believe in the power of hope.
