Berklee College of Music graduate Drèa Solène is set to debut her first official single, Be Free, a smooth, soul-bending expression of inner conflict, hope, and emotional release. Written and first recorded a year prior (2024), Be Free marks the beginning of a new era for the emerging singer-songwriter. With roots in neo-soul and emotional honesty, the track was born during a deeply personal moment of frustration — a longing to break free from internal and external expectations, and to step into a vision of life that felt painfully out of reach. “At the time, I was overwhelmed,” says Drèa. “I wanted to work hard and show up as an artist, but not at the cost of feeling like I had to sell myself to do it. I just wanted to be free — to feel like I could chase my dreams and still be myself.”
Even now, as she prepares to officially launch the song, Drèa reflects on how far she’s already come since its creation. “When I listen to it now, I can hear how much I’ve grown. This isn’t the peak for me at all. It’s the beginning.” Be Free is more than just a song — it’s a moment of truth for anyone who’s felt stuck between the life they have and the life they envision. It’s for the dreamers still in process, for those quietly trying, for those learning to keep going even when the road is long.
