Swedish EDM artist HANDSHAKE IN SPACE returns with a strong and meaningful new single, ‘Feel This Free,’ released last Saturday, 11th October, on National Coming Out Day. In a year when LGBTQ+ rights are being challenged worldwide, HANDSHAKE IN SPACE sees it as especially important to release this song as a celebration of the power of love and freedom.
Composed by HANDSHAKE IN SPACE, with lyrics and melody by Tim Heller, ‘Feel This Free’ combines a driving kick drum with a warm heartbeat, emphasizing the theme of freedom and the strength found in loving openly and without fear. With lyrics like “All I’m ever gonna need / Is a kick drum and your heart beat” and repeated choruses urging to Feel this free, the song captures a feeling of rebellion, community, and courage.
‘Feel This Free’ is an anthem for anyone fighting to be themselves, a call to not let any rules or obstacles stop love. With an uplifting message and danceable beats, the song is equally a celebration of freedom as it is a reminder of the importance of solidarity and acceptance.
HANDSHAKE IN SPACE has become a voice in the Swedish EDM scene with previous releases, and this single strengthens messages of hope and resilience during a time when they are needed more than ever.
