Nigel Brown's "Freedom Beats The Drum" is a 15-track masterpiece that encapsulates the essence of the London singer-songwriter's musical maturity. Deftly navigating between alternative rock, power pop, indie rock, indie pop and jangle pop, Brown creates a rich and varied sonic experience. Their songs, permeated by themes of freedom and love, evoke the nostalgia of the sounds of Teenage Fanclub, Big Star and The Byrds, with impeccably harmonized vocals and captivating melodies. The subtle and creative guitars, together with the well-structured folk guitars, give the album an intimate and passionate tone, which at the same time sounds familiar and innovative. In its almost 50 minutes long, "Freedom Beats The Drum" is an essential listen that awakens deep emotions and offers a new perspective on what we don't yet know, but what we long to discover.
