Ace Anderson & Gabrielle Reyes Release Inspiring New Country Song, “Be Free,” on Election Day
It all begins with an idea.
November 5, 2024 — West Palm Beach, FL — In a powerful statement of resilience and patriotism, Jamaican-American artist Ace Anderson and his wife and creative partner, Gabrielle Reyes, have released their new song, “Be Free,” on all streaming platforms today. The song, which draws from classic country sounds infused with Gabrielle’s soulful riffs, highlights the universal right to pursue freedom and personal dreams, no matter the obstacles.
“Be Free” is a song about defying expectations, standing up for one’s beliefs, and embracing individuality. Anderson, known for his versatility and artistic range, felt apprehensive about exploring country music, a genre unfamiliar to many Caribbean Americans. “Coming from a Jamaican-American background, stepping into country felt like a leap,” Anderson shared. “But I wanted to give it a shot because I’m grateful to be an American and live in a place where freedom is something we all hold dear. I believe freedom is a God-given right, and we must each follow our path, wherever it leads.”
Gabrielle Reyes, a celebrated artist in her own right, brings a dynamic edge to “Be Free” with her powerful, emotive riffs that underscore the song’s message of courage and conviction. “Having Gabrielle by my side makes every project special, but this one feels even more personal,” Anderson said. “Her voice adds a layer of depth that really brings the message home.”
The release date of “Be Free” aligns meaningfully with Election Day in the United States, a day when Americans exercise their fundamental right to shape their futures. Through candid lyrics, Anderson and Reyes reflect on the trials of facing criticism and rising above, fueled by the belief that true freedom begins within. With lyrics like “There ain’t nothing I can do nor nothing I can say / That folks won’t criticize me”, the song captures the power of pushing forward regardless of others’ opinions.
In “Be Free,” Anderson and Reyes craft a universal anthem, reminding listeners that the pursuit of dreams is a path worth taking, no matter the odds. The song is available on all platforms today and is sure to resonate with anyone who values freedom, individuality, and the courage to carve one’s own path.
