Reviews:
“Erol Oz delivers powerful and honest lyrics in Free, never sugar coating the struggles of being an artist, instead, giving encouragement and reason to never give up on one’s artistry. Free is the best of Americana music, displaying gorgeous arrangements of string instruments, with a performance that displays Erol’s classically trained background as well as his velvety voice. Everything here is right. We need more Erol Oz types in this world.” – Ama Cruz, RadioAirplay Blog
