    Tunes that are both brainy and catchy, full of life.

    By letting a few slivers of sunlight in and slightly loosening his tie, Adamson has effortlessly moved his songs into a different area while still keeping proceedings going at the slickest of clips.

    The arrangements on Barry Adamson's latest album seem more restrained than usual, his jazz-noir ambitions trimmed to a blues-funk palette of bass and drum grooves carrying Hammond organ or piano parts, with just the occasional solo horn part.

    I Will Set You Free is the sound of Adamson's liberation as a songwriter, producer, and arranger.
