Sweet – Set Me Free – Coming soon!

“Set Me Free” has never been released as a single before, and it has been re-recorded for the band’s current album “Isolation Boulevard” which features lockdown re-recordings of the original songs that appeared on the U.S. edition of the band’s 1975 album “Desolation Boulevard“.

“Isolation Boulevard” features all the Sweet’s classic hit singles and was recorded with the new line-up during lockdowns between September and October 2020.  The latest single “Set Me Free” is taken from the album.

Although it is one of the most covered songs in the band’s repertoire, this marks the first time Sweet has released it as an official single. Over the years, the song’s been covered by Saxon, Vince Neil of Motley Crue, and Steve Stevens (Billy Idol).

Andy Scott, the songwriter, and last man standing from the original band have produced a remarkable album given the challenging circumstances that we face globally today.

“Recording an album separately in different locations throws up a myriad of technical problems,” says Andy Scott. “It’s impossible for everyone to play at the same time, so all parts are performed the “old” way and then data transferred back to base camp where the magical digital stuff takes over.”

Continues Andy, “Sweet would usually record all together in the studio with a performance rather than individually but the pandemic dictated the ways and means. The result is a mind-blowing set of tracks, all the hits and a barrage of heavy-duty glam rock.”

Sweet are a British rock and roll institution with a pedigree of 50 years of hit singles. They’ve sold 55 million albums and had 34 number #1 hit singles. Hailed by many as a national treasure with a loyal fanbase, their dazzling arsenal of rock music stands the test of time. The music is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago when Sweet first stormed the UK Charts in January 1971.
