Freedom, the second single off the Mr Man EP, is the first written collaboration between Dean and Megan Washington (including the delicate harmonies of Brisbane-based Songbird, Ella Jones) depicts the fleeing of a commitment through a melancholy lens.

Freedom addresses the “emotional wall we tend to build around ourselves to keep us safe from heartache”. The realness of the lyrics is balanced by the gentle acoustic melodies maintained throughout the song.

Speaking on the single, Dean said,

““Megan and her background in music gave this song a flavour that I could not have achieved without her input. A big thanks to Ella for her amazing vocal on the track, six years searching for that harmony and she hit it out of the park.””

The single was released internationally on

Friday 14 October 2022 AEST.

It’s a piece that questions the structure of today’s society throughout its lyrics whilst providing a sense of unity within the music;

“Is it all for one or one for all?!”

Speaking on the single, Dean said,

““The division between elites, middle class and low-income earners has become far more evident to me in recent years. I guess that has been the inspiration behind putting my pen to paper and creating this track. Witnessing hard-working people and small business owners declaring bankruptcy and/or struggling to make ends meet, really hit home with me and I grew tired of bottling it up.” ”

“Ray delivers a set that’s steeped in Australiana and affecting story-telling… The down-on-his-luck outlaw rocker motif isn’t new, but Ray’s talent turns it upside down with terrific verve.
