Vince Freeman, known for his collaborations with Lost Frequencies ("Sun Is Shining") and Fedde Le Grand ("Devils"), has officially released his debut album, Scars, Ghosts & Glory, marking a new chapter in his career. With five European Top 10 hits under his belt, Freeman’s solo work—rooted in rock, soul, country, and blues—brings his most personal and captivating stories to life.

“This album feels like looking at your soul in the mirror,” Vince shares. “I’m okay with my scars and ghosts these days, and it’s amazing to finally tell my story to anyone who might listen.”

The album reflects Freeman’s personal journey—one marked by struggles, setbacks, and triumphs. From working as a barista with a coffee van at festivals while dreaming of performing on the same stages, Vince has evolved into an artist who has played alongside legends such as Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, and Paul Weller.

Freeman’s rise has not been without challenges. After winning two UK Indie Awards and reaching the final of The Voice in 2012 under the mentorship of Danny O’Donoghue (The Script), his breakthrough was delayed by a severe spinal injury that left him in pain for six years. Just as his collaboration with Lost Frequencies began to take off, the pandemic hit, halting the momentum. Now, however, Freeman is finally in the spotlight.

Album Highlights and Formats

Preceding the album's release, Freeman dropped several singles that showcase the emotional breadth of his songwriting. Oh What A Life delivers powerful rock storytelling in the style of Sam Fender and Bruce Springsteen, recounting childhood challenges, while Passing By is a poignant ballad about watching life slip away. His latest single, Stardust, offers a joyful counterpoint—a celebration of transformative love.

Scars, Ghosts & Glory is available for streaming and as signed physical editions, including CD, white vinyl, and gold vinyl, from Freeman’s official store.
