Naarm/Melbourne rapper DL has teamed up with local talent SB90, L.A. singer-songwriter Jackie’s Boy (Madonna, Chris Brown, Flo Rida), and Grammy award-winning producer Corbett (Big Sean, Anderson Paak, Nas) for his latest single “Freedom.” Inspired by COVID-19 lockdowns, this vibey track is an empowering celebration of living your best life. The R&B influence reminds me of the jams I used to listen to in the mid- to late-90s, in the best possible way.
After winning Los Angeles Film Awards and Europe Music Awards for the music video for his previous single “Lost an Angel,” DL might just break internationally. Releasing world-class singles like this should help propel him into the global spotlight.
