Free With Me showcases Halloran’s guitar prowess, featuring an intricate solo and a strong vocal presence. Halloran describes the song as “for all those people, like myself, who have a strong resistance to being put in a box.” She added, “It’s about inner and outer freedom: to be proudly comfortable with who you are and to quit having to prove yourself or meet others’ perceptions.”
Produced by Ross Irwin, engineered by Ben Edgar, and mastered by Lachlan Carrick, the single is accompanied by a performance-focused music video filmed at Sorsi E Morsi, a St Kilda café Halloran frequents. “To say I love my local is an understatement,” she explained. “I wanted to capture the local spirit and vibe that is a big part of my life.”
Fans will have the chance to experience Halloran’s dynamic live performance during her single launch shows, which promise original material, epic guitar moments inspired by legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Van Halen, and a few covers. “I love being on the road. To me, making music and living life are the same thing,” she said.
Free With Me is available to stream and download from November 29.
