Jeff Vidov transcends soft rock boundaries in “Freedom is So Divine”


Canadian composer and pianist Jeff Vidov has just released a stunning new single titled "Freedom is So Divine." The song begins as a mid-tempo ballad that's both glorious and deeply personal. It's a slightly soft rock with some of the grand-scale, orchestral-film-score sound.

There are two renditions featuring different male singers. This is an example of how tightly Vidov tells his stories through music. All the lush strings, the soaring brass, and the quiet piano flourishes in the layered orchestration give us a spacious landscape to take this emotional journey with Swift, where every line feels more powerful. "Freedom is So Divine" has a thick, resonant center in the radio edit and spreads out, while remaining easy on the ears within the broad orchestral arrangement.

Vidov's gifts as a craftsman are on display here, his song's ability to join the intimate with the epic neatly symbolic of that skill. Throughout the ballad's structure, the listener can experience moments of pensive stillness punctuated by orchestral crescendos, which are both thoughtful and uplifting. It's a rare case of modern soft rock that's unafraid to be cinematic. 

"Freedom is So Divine" is the result of a larger endeavor that has been underway for some time. It also demonstrates that Jeff Vidov is capable of matching profound stories with fresh, new music. This song lingers not just in your ears but also in your heart. It's an audacious, sweeping statement about where Vidov's music is headed.
