Xavier Rudd - Freedom Sessions EP (2024) [Hi-Res]

On the release, Xavier says: “My first EP release in 25 years, ‘Freedom Sessions’ was created during a particularly unique period of time … and is a celebration of the blessing of ‘freedom’ - a simple state of being that we all should have the right to exist in. It’s been a super interesting time recording this music, through my introspective journey in studio I have learnt, grown and released.”

The EP packages four previously released singles, 'World Order', ‘High Times’, ‘Road Trippin'’ and ‘Free the People’ alongside his stunning new offering ‘Moments’. Speaking about the EP, Xavier continued, “The last song for you to hear upon release is called ‘Moments’. This is a special song for me and the perfect way to hand the last of this music over. Our lives are made up of moments that fly by so fast but shape so much. I guess the goal is to handle our moments with truth and purpose to build solid foundations in this life.”

A soulful celebration of the simple truth its title proclaims, the EP marks Xavier's first EP release in 25 years, delivering his signature blend of roots, folk, and world music. The EP weaves together recent singles to create a cohesive showcase of his heartfelt songwriting and his evolving sound. 'Freedom Sessions' is a timely reminder about the power of the individual, the necessity of community, and the constant search for balance within ourselves and the broader world.
