Drew Freeland ‘Trouble’ - Finding Power in Letting Go

Drew Freeland is an artist who leads with honesty and doesn’t flinch when things get uncomfortable. Originally from the mountains of Virginia and now based in Cincinnati, Freeland has built a sound rooted in lived experience, emotional clarity, and quiet strength. Her latest single, “Trouble,” feels like a turning point—both deeply personal and boldly self-assured.

Written during the final stretch of a rocky five-year relationship, “Trouble” captures that charged moment when you know something has run its course. Freeland has described the track as her “Johnny Cash song,” leaning into stark storytelling and her lower vocal register. The result is a song that balances defiance and release, turning heartbreak into an act of self-respect rather than regret.

Musically, Freeland moves effortlessly through Americana, Folk, and Country, with threads of Blues and Rock woven throughout. Her voice—deep, resonant, and unapologetically grounded—anchors the track, carrying both vulnerability and resolve. There’s an ease in her delivery that makes the song feel lived-in, as if it’s been waiting to be heard.

Produced by Joe Bianchi alongside Freeland herself, “Trouble” retains a raw, unpolished edge that suits its emotional weight. The production leaves space for the story to breathe, while mix engineer Jon Estes and mastering engineer Brandon Busch add clarity without sanding down the song’s grit.

At its core, “Trouble” is about choosing yourself, even when it’s difficult. Freeland doesn’t frame the ending as a loss, but as a necessary step forward. That perspective gives the song its power, making it resonate far beyond its origins.

With “Trouble,” Drew Freeland continues to carve out a space where vulnerability and strength coexist. It’s a reminder that some of the most compelling music comes from artists willing to tell the truth—even when it’s messy—and trust that the right listeners will find it.
