Ian Roland delights and connects to something deeper with ‘Virtually Free’.
It isn’t often that you experience something that really makes you feel like you’re flying. Unhurried, unencumbered, and genuinely blissful. That’s the warm, timeless energy you receive from Ian’s latest melodic folk/soft rock masterpiece, ‘Virtually Free’
There are layers to this. The title itself denotes a refreshing breakaway from everything digital and connecting back to our roots and what really matters. The track opens like a ray of sunshine cutting through the dark, radiant and positive. Stirring strum progressions, paired with soft piano tones and crisp drums.
As Ian begins to sing, softly, you’re drawn into the verse, like a warm embrace. His poetic, romantic prose has you swaying gently, eyes closed. The track swells forwards, spiraling higher in tone and intensity, bright and beautiful.
The vocal arrangements match the brightness of the instrumental perfectly. Neither overpowers the other; rather, they work in tandem, a glorious symbiosis, as the track holds you in a supportive, emotional tone.
This is the kind of track you want to daydream along to, to leave behind the worries and notifications, to step into the bright wonderful world outside and fall in love with your existence and everyone living in it!
One of the best, well-balanced soft rock tracks we’ve heard in some time and one we’re definitely proud and delighted to have heard today. Listen, allow its warmth and richness to wash over you, heal and liberate you, and share it forward!
