Today's Video Share: "Free" by Elyse Saunders

Canada's Elyse Saunders is celebrating the digital release of her new country-pop fusion, “Free”.

 Co-written by Saunders and Shawn Moore – "Free" is her debut collaboration with producer Dan Swinimer (Madeline Merlo). An upbeat country song that blends electronic-pop elements and an acoustically driven rhythm with soaring vocals, the summertime story at the heart of the song carries a deeper message for the Peterborough, Ontario native.

 “I believe there's something really beautiful about celebrating life and just taking in the moment. ‘Free’ takes me back to simpler times when I was younger and there were less responsibilities. It’s when a day at the beach enjoying the sunset and watching fireworks was really important to me. I’ve come to learn that it’s these experiences with the people in my life that matter. It’s important to slow down and soak in these quality moments. We need to make time to be free and this single is a reminder of that,” says Saunders.

 “Free” is the first in a wave of new music as part of her planned album – also called “Free” – which will capture her artistic freedom and authentic ability to explore different sectors of the commercial country universe.
