There’s no mistaking an Agaaze production when it lands—his signature sound carries the warmth of sun-scorched nostalgia while still pulsing with an electrified sense of the future. ‘Run Free’ is no exception. Built on staccato pseudo-reggae rhythms and synths torn straight from the neon-lit corridors of the 80s, the track doesn’t just stick in your head—it hijacks your psyche.
Even as the instrumental euphoria threatens to sweep you away entirely, the rhythmic cadence of his rolling vocal melodies keeps you hooked as they surf over the synthesised soundscape. Blasts of funk, nostalgia, and eccentricity make this track impossible to pin down, but that unpredictability is exactly where the ingenuity of the monolith of an infectious perennial pop earworm lies.
The Rochester-born artist, producer, and DJ has already gained recognition for his boundless creativity, and with a fearless approach to independent artistry, he’s proven that no sonic territory is off-limits.
With ‘Run Free’, Agaaze doesn’t just invite you into his world; he allows you to escape your own. Liberate yourself and hit play on Spotify.
