Jack Horton Delivers a Soul-Soothing Release with “Set Me Free”
With Set Me Free, Jack Horton steps out of the shadows of personal heartbreak and into a glowing spotlight of emotional liberation. The Portland-based singer-songwriter and classically trained pianist delivers a stripped-back, piano-driven track that is both cathartic and quietly triumphant.
From the first delicate piano note, there’s a softness that draws you in—almost like you’ve walked in on someone processing something real in the still of an empty room. Horton’s voice is steady but tinged with vulnerability, carrying lyrics that reveal a deep emotional maturity. “Set Me Free” isn’t about loss in the dramatic, Hollywood sense. It’s about release. About recognizing love, honoring its presence, and then choosing peace over possession.
What’s most striking is Horton’s restraint. He doesn’t shout or dramatize. He lets the weight of his words do the work. There’s an intimacy to the track that feels like a late-night confession—quiet, sure, and deeply honest. It’s the kind of song that sneaks up on you emotionally, then lingers for days.
As the lead single from his EP Imperfections, Set Me Free sets a reflective, heartfelt tone. Jack Horton proves that sometimes, the boldest thing an artist can do is tell the truth—gently, simply, and with just the right amount of soul.
