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

    Barry Adamson, formerly of Magazine and The Bad Seeds, has released his most commercial-friendly album to date.

    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.

    The songwriting is always of a high quality. [Mar 2012, p.79]
