Tess Posner’s latest single, “Free My Soul,” is a powerful, cinematic anthem that brings her signature mix of emotional depth, mystical undertones, and empowering themes to new heights. With this release, Tess not only showcases her continued evolution as an artist but reaffirms why she’s quickly becoming one of the most compelling voices in the alternative pop scene.
Building on the momentum of over 4 million Spotify streams and 2 million TikTok views, along with accolades like the WAM Award and the Intercontinental Music Award, Tess Posner proves once again that she’s not here to follow trends—she’s here to tell truth. And in “Free My Soul,” that truth is about breaking chains: the ones we inherit, the ones we build, and the ones we’re often too afraid to name.
From the opening bars, the song draws you in with infectious piano hooks and a rich bed of layered synth textures, creating a soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive. It’s cinematic in its structure—starting in the shadows and building toward a full-bodied moment of release. By the time Tess’s vocals soar in the chorus, it’s not just a song anymore; it’s a movement, a declaration.
Lyrically, “Free My Soul” is raw and emotionally honest. It speaks to the quiet battles we all face—internal limitations, generational narratives, and societal expectations that weigh heavily on us. Rather than shying away from these difficult themes, Tess leans into them, offering a song that becomes a mirror for listeners who’ve ever felt trapped by the stories they didn’t choose but were born into.
Lines throughout the song reflect that sense of inner struggle and eventual triumph, and it’s this emotional arc that gives the track its weight. This isn’t just a catchy pop song; it’s a personal reckoning wrapped in melody. It’s about shedding the old skin and stepping fully into your own identity, however messy or beautiful that might be.
What’s even more impressive is that the track is self-produced. Tess’s production choices are deliberate and artful—nothing feels overdone or undercooked. Each element, from the synths to the background harmonies, feels purposeful and adds to the song’s layered narrative. It’s clear she has a strong creative vision, and she executes it with both precision and emotion.
Her recent performance at The Midway in San Francisco is just another step in her artistic journey. On stage, Tess brings this same energy—one of vulnerability, empowerment, and connection—that you feel in her recordings. “Free My Soul” seems tailor-made for live performance, where its emotional highs and lows can ripple through a crowd.
In a genre that can sometimes lean too heavily on surface-level aesthetics, Tess Posner digs deeper. Her music speaks to transformation, healing, and liberation—and “Free My Soul” is a shining example of that. It’s the kind of song that finds you when you need it most and stays with you long after the last note.
For fans of artists like Florence + The Machine, BANKS, or Aurora—those who love alt-pop with meaning and muscle—“Free My Soul” is an essential listen. It’s not just another single. It’s a cathartic journey that reminds us all: freedom starts from within.
With this release, Tess Posner continues to rise—not just as an artist, but as a voice for those seeking light through the darkness. And if “Free My Soul” is any indication, her voice is only getting louder.
