about

“Set Me Free” is the new single from London-based electro-pop duo Ooberfuse, composed of instrumentalist Hal St John and vocalist Cherrie Anderson. The uplifting track explores themes of liberation from repression and oppression. The single is the latest from the duo’s recent EP ‘Tears Can Only Sting’ which has surpassed 100k streams on Spotify. A snippet from the upcoming video to “Set Me Free” had over 10k hits on TikTok in 24 hours.

Written about the emotions unleashed when someone tries to take away your freedom, “Set Me Free” uniquely bleeds irresistible electronica hooks with timeless other-worldly vocals of front-woman Cherrie Anderson. As keyboardist Hal St John’s riffs intoxicate with infectious groove, the track simmers to an explosive climax ‘open your heart to me.’

Cherrie explains: “having the courage to be the person you are called to be in the context of violent forces demanding conformity, requires an almost supernatural strength. If we open our hearts to those who are fighting for their freedom, we combine our strength with theirs to transform cycles of violation.”

lyrics

SET ME FREE
I’m over here, you're over there,
Oh do you, do you even care?
Don't look away, I’m here to stay
So help me, help me find a way,

Won't you open your heart to me,
Won't you open your heart to me.
Oh, set me free.

Take a step closer, til you really hear
Living waters drowning my fear.

Now who would have thought
That I’ll be up in the court
Now I’m feeling distraught
In this web I’ve been caught, you see
So will you come and set me free?

I’m all broken inside
Cause my freedom’s denied
All the tears that I've cried
In the court where I’m tried, you see.
Will you come and set me free?
