Jack Horton opens his latest EP Imperfections with Set Me Free, a heartfelt ballad born from personal transformation. Rooted in deep emotion and real-life experience, the Portland-based pianist and songwriter delivers a track that feels both vulnerable and powerful. It’s a love song—but one about letting go, not holding on.
The song is warm and sincere, driven by Horton’s expressive piano and rich storytelling. His vocals carry a raw honesty that gives the lyrics weight: “I’m grateful for my divorce,” Horton has said. “Without it, I’d never have written Set Me Free.” That perspective shows in every note. The melody is gentle yet haunting, slowly unfolding like a conversation between heartache and healing.
What makes Set Me Free stand out is its emotional maturity. It doesn’t rush to resolution. Instead, it sits in the in-between—a space of loss, acceptance, and quiet hope. Horton’s classical piano background adds a subtle elegance to the track, while his singer-songwriter instincts keep it grounded and intimate.
This single sets the tone for an EP filled with personal stories and musical craftsmanship. If you’re looking for a song that feels real and resonant, Set Me Free offers a moving, melodic release.
Listen to Set Me Free on all major platforms now—and let go, just a little.
