New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Singer/songwriter Chris Bullinger has released his debut single, "I'm Free" from his forthcoming album, True Rendition.
"I'm Free" is about personal and collective freedom. "There's nothing free about freedom. At least that's the way I see it. You've got to work for it: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually," Chris explains. "Most of the songs on this album observe that struggle. Shoot, one of 'em flat-out asks, 'Are you free in your freedom?' This song answers pretty emphatically: Yeah, I'm free! And you can't take that away from me."
Raised in the Midwest, Chris now spends his time in Nashville and Asheville. He began writing poetry at a young age, writing more than a thousand poems and over a hundred songs.
Chris is a champion of the underdog. He's been known to bring strays home, and he's been known to wander. He sees the beauty and pain in existence, and every now and then he's fortunate enough to put a tune to it.
True Rendition is an album packed with themes and emotions that emerge like a musical kaleidoscope. Through one listen, notions of freedom and revelry rear their heads, and the next it's longing and grit. Recorded at the Bomb Shelter in Nashville, and co-produced by Josh Halper and Harrison Luna, the music sprang to life around a firepit in the backyard. Drinking, smoking and playing guitar. The firehangs, as they called the sessions, is where the songs began to take on the sound they eventually recorded in the studio.
True Rendition will be released October 31, 2022.
