Mike Freund urges us to relax and let things flow naturally with ‘Breathe’

After encountering so much bad luck early on in his music career with a serious accident after his first gig and having his recording equipment stolen soon afterwards, Mike Freund shakes off all the previous doubt and is in a chilled mood with his latest single ‘Breathe‘.

Mike Freund is a Charleston, South Carolina-based, New Jersey-born indie blues/rock solo singer-songwriter who performs with a gritty and likeable style.

His first full-length solo album, Toe The Line, was a hit with bloggers, and since his latest album, And Now You Know, released this past summer, he’s racking up the views, the fans, and the love.” ~ Mike Freund

With a candid vocal performance that simmers nicely as you take a moment to relax for a minute in this overly-fast world, the hard-working Mike Freund sends us a heartfelt reminder that to be successful during these times you also need to find time to have a bit of fun otherwise your whole soul will be suffocated in toxic stress.

Breathe‘ from the brave Charleston, South Carolina-based, New Jersey-born indie blues/rock solo singer-songwriter Mike Freund, is the true story that we all needed to hear. The world is so fast and there are many alleys that can take your attention away when you should just keep things in perspective. Life is about enjoyment too, and stressing never seems to help anyway.

Mike Freund has unleashed his latest feat of humbly affable Americana ‘Crooked Teeth’

‘Crooked Teeth’ is the latest all-consuming offering of aural solace from New Jersey-born artist, Mike Freund: the progressively cinematic soundscape is transfixing from the first sepia-tinged mellifluous verse to the last.

The single runs you through stunningly delicate finger-picked acoustic guitar solos, organ notes hitting like celestial sunrays, and that gorgeously rare feeling of wanting to sing the lyrics before you have them fully memorised when the chorus hits.

The masterful soundscape exhibits the affable authenticity of Mike Freund with his blues licks which come with a meditative kick and his sonorous imagery-projecting vocals which will leave you seriously inclined to keep hitting play.

With their influences ranging from The Allman Brothers to Guns and Roses, Mike Freund is set to enamour fans of both and anything between.

You can check out Crooked Teeth via Spotify.
