Rebecca Moreland Releases New Single 'Freak Soul'

Nashville is enjoying something of a musical Golden Age, with artists of every genre creating innovative and compelling new music. Among these exciting new voices is Texas born singer/songwriter, Rebecca Moreland.

The pop/soul artist has released her new single, "Freak Soul," the first release from Rebecca's forthcoming EP, and offers a glimpse of a much larger project by the new Nashville songwriter.

"This is a song for those who feel different, like they don't fit in, and at one time or another, that's all of us," Rebecca says. "Your own 'Freak Soul' proudly shouts, 'I am not like everyone else, but I'm proud and strong.'"

The timely song is a message of acceptance and confidence, urging the listener to "love big and sing loud." It is a celebration of all that is unique in each of us.

I am a freak soul

I can't be locked down

I love big and I sing loud

I am a freak soul

I don't fit in

Say what you like but I'll just keep dancin'

This is the first release from Rebecca's forthcoming EP, (Fall 2015) produced by legendary guitarist, Johnny Garcia, perhaps best known for his work with both Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks. Breathing new life into the idea of a concept album, Rebecca penned the songs on the EP as part of her Human Experience Project. This musical series will explore common themes in life's journey. "The idea is to tell the stories of who we are and look at the experiences in life that tie us all together," Moreland says. While her original music serves as the anchor for the exploration of themes like friendship, ambition, change, empowerment and more, Rebecca also plans to utilize her background in journalism and communications to create complementary projects in other mediums.

Rebecca began to focus seriously on songwriting while in college as a means of self-expression and simply to make sense of her own journey of self-discovery. Her smart and soulful acoustic vibe has gained the attention of listeners around the country with previous works like the single, "Far From Heaven," which charted in FMQB's AC charts.

Rebecca is a popular artist on the college entertainment circuit. She has appeared on Fox Morning News San Antonio, ABC News Memphis, and Nashville's WKDF FM and more. She has a Breedlove guitar endorsement deal and has been a featured artist of the week by MusicXray, ReverbNation and Muzikreviews.com. Rebecca is a featured songwriter in episode No. 6 of "The Songwriter: Nashville," a documentary web series which debut was on RollingStone.com. She has played shows and festivals across the country, including Nissan's Taste of Music City, Ashland City Festival, San Antonio Ford Holiday River Parade, and the Florida Music Festival.
