Two Chapels - Free You

.
"Free You" by Two Chapels is a dance track that is also slightly on the druggy side. Comprised of Jenn Grossman (who does the singing) and Marc Wilhite, this NYC pair met while graduate students at New York University. However, they weren't studying anthropology by day and music theory by night, or anything heady like that. Instead, they were both being instructed by Morton Subotnick, a kind of pioneer in the electronic music field.

In addition to singing, Grossman is also an experimental composer, as well as multi-media artist, while Wilhite is a producer and programmer, in addition to being a composer.

This track, "Free You," derives its druggy vibe from the way the keyboard rhythms pulsate in the mix, a little bit like a heartbeat struggling to get on track with a regular rhythm. The song begins quietly, with Grossman singing equally quietly, before both the music and Grossman's voice pick up confidence as well as volume. The song's lyric speaks of persistence; especially when Grossman states, "I'll free you in the end." This is not an easy fix or a quick cure solution, however. Instead, it's all about the power of consistent personal interaction until the will of one person sets another soul free from whatever demons happen to possessing him or her.

The song clocks in just under four-minutes in length, so it's by no means a club floor burner. Instead, this is more of a thought provoking track, created to make you deeply consider the affect one person can have on another, all set to a subversive dance groove.

This act's name, Two Chapels, also makes one wonder if there may be something spiritual going on as well, as 'chapel' is another name for a house of worship. Whether it's the love of a person, or a little divine intervention, though, "Free You" is a song of faith. It believes that anybody unwillingly restrained, can ultimately be set free.
