Nuanced, nostalgic and poignant, ‘Set You Free’ sees Cassandra Liu engaging in leftfield and intense pop stylings, pivoting a rather hip-hop-flavoured beat towards oriental and Chinese textures, super charming and unique. The American songstress and producer’s ethereal vocals seal the deal, providing a listening experience that’s blissful, quirky and highly rewarding, especially during the catchy and monumental choruses.
Drenched in a plethora of spacious harmonies, ‘Set You Free’ moves with purpose and elegance, showcasing Liu’ musical prowess. A DIY effort, the record has been entirely made by Cassandra herself. While the production value could grow further in the future, we are pretty proud of the current results, signalling that the project is certainly moving in the right direction.
Also, there’s a certain magic when an artist takes care of the whole creative process. It is an unfiltered, pure glimpse into their creative universe, allowing the listeners to relate even more to their material. Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Set You Free’, Liu explains: “The song is about sad love song about the realization that true love is to give the freedom of letting go.”
