Search - Jennifer Knapp :: Set me free

Jennifer Knapp s beautifully intimate new album Set Me Free puts her uncommonly honest songwriting front and center, solidifying her return to a music career set on her own terms. Set Me Free is Knapp s second mainstream folk rock release after she left her Grammy-nominated Contemporary Christian Music career behind, took a seven-year hiatus, and returned with the refreshingly straightforward earthy rock record Letting Go in 2010. While her transition away from Christian music and public coming out as a lesbian have made her a lightning rod for controversy, Set Me Free is an album full not of anger but of love, with intimate arrangements providing the backdrop for stories of romance, friendship, and faith. Coinciding with the release of her candid memoir Facing the Music: My Story on Howard Books/Simon and Schuster, this refreshing new album once again demonstrates Jennifer s uncompromising willingness to be open in the spotlight.
