“I liked the idea of calling the album That’s How It Is,” says the newly emerging singer-songwriter-frontman Paul Freeman, “because it’s direct and it’s real. It’s one of the songs of mine that people really seem to like.” Freeman, who often closes his shows with the song, combines his love and devotion to word-craft with an equally passionate and adroit command of vintage rock-pop on his much-awaited full-length debut album.
Paul’s music bursts at the seams with intelligence, complexity melodic exhilaration and life-affirming exuberance. Freeman’s a “poetry fan” filled with “the utmost respect” for “anybody that’s a good writer… whether it be a songwriter or a poet or a screenwriter. It’s an underestimated art.” In fact Paul was born in South Wales, a town not more than 20 minutes away from the birthplace of his favorite poet Dylan Thomas. Although Paul didn’t realize that Thomas had been a neighbor, his album’s title song — “That’s How It Is” — was “somewhat influenced by Thomas’s ‘Death Has No Dominion’.”
But what cannot be underestimated is Paul’s fervent love and dedication to the art of rock and pop music. It all began when Paul was very young and began delving into the myriad sounds of his father’s extensive record collection. Although he couldn’t play a note, Paul’s dad, a railway worker, was a “huge music buff” who’d hang stereo speakers out the window so he could groove to rocking modern sounds while cutting the grass with a manual rotary mower.
