Free

Free is the first independent album from Cody Simpson, who left Atlantic Records after his contract terminated. Simpson created his own label, Coast House Records. From that, he also created a “collective” known as Coast House Collective.

Simpson recorded the entire album with a live band, giving the album a real americana/roots feel with just a dash of reggae. In the three part Youtube mini-series about the making of the album, Cody Simpson states:

We literally set the band up in a live room and all play the song together, and I would sort of come back in and, y'know, re-record my vocals to make sure they sounded the way I wanted them to.

The album was released on June 10th, 2015, and it marks the start of a new chapter in Cody’s career.
