Album Review/ Soul : Audren’s ‘Think Freedom’

Audren is a soul artist with an alternative pulse. Her soundscapes form across the soul music spectrum, drawing in rock with R&B, funk grooves, disco, and synthwave. A culminating in a soul wave of sorts that transport you to galaxies of feeling.

Her latest release is the ‘Think Freedom’ album, a collection in which the true spirit of her music and style is unleashed. The best way to enjoy the album is to regard each track as a universe within itself. 

‘A New Page’ opens the album, a track that forms a soft acoustical sphere that you can burrow into. Earnest and sincere, it has a wide-eyed innocence to it. Blended with themes of growth, healing and falling back into liveliness, it creates a beautiful duality of disenchantment and re-enchantment that you can journey through. ‘We’re All Lost’, ‘Flowers in the Snow’, and ‘True Love’ are the first track’s rhythmic twins of sorts. Slow with soft explorations, the track evolves momentously. Each one anchored by their own unique musical character, they’re quite enjoyable. 

Tracks like ‘When Freedom Dies’ and ‘A Beautiful Move’ weave in this soft pulse with a sense of soul dynamism. A stylistic collaboration that brings about a duality and sets a spectrum that you can feel the music across. ‘Smile, People Smile!’ and ‘We Want Funkey’ has a spontaneous spirit. There’s dance in it and the grooves open up an energy that you can move into. And then there are the jazz tangents, so freely moving through the disco and the synths. 

Across the album, you’ll encounter the various rhythms, variations and layers of soul music. All of it leads you to a passionate space. Either with movement, color, vocal journeys or lyrical depth. Listen Now!
