Bringing The Summer Blue Eyed Soul Vibes

Space to be Free (Single)

Luke Marzec

The new track serves a dual purpose of continuing his buzzworthy momentum, as well as kicking off Side B of his debut album ‘Something Good Out of Nothing’. A unique release strategy in which he released the first half of his album independent of its critically hailed flipside (which was released digitally on March 26), this continuation deepens the album’s exploration of modern life, memory, and meaning. The full album will be released on vinyl, LP and re-introduced digitally with new artwork on August 18 via Swift Half Records.

A slow-burning, soulful anthem rooted in protest and poetic clarity, ‘Space To Be Free’ channels Marzec’s reflections on the U.K.'s economic inequality, digital alienation, and the quiet joys that capitalism often erodes (community, creativity, and stillness). Inspired by the classic sounds of soul and R&B and Bob Marley's universal message of unity amidst the stark realities of present-day life in the UK, Marzec fuses warm analog textures, soulful vocals, and experimental production into a track that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant.

‘Space To Be Free’ explores ideas of power and where it really resides, and what is left for the common people. In a world we are told is constantly "progressing," it is ironic that given the labour saving advances in this latest modern era, what people really want (just a bit of time and space to make, to grow, to share) is becoming more and more unattainable. We now work longer and harder than in living memory, and most of us cannot even afford a home above our heads. All we want is a bit more time and space just for our own. We are not asking a lot; and this song explains it.
