Deniece Williams - Free (audio) -

: Deniece Williams, Hank Redd, Nathan Watts, and Susaye Greene.

The song is an anthem of personal independence. Williams sings about the desire to remain "free" within a relationship—rejecting traditional constraints to maintain her own identity and sense of self while still sharing an intimate connection.

Music critics and fans alike celebrate the track for Williams' "vocal gymnastics," specifically her effortless transition into her (hitting notes as high as E-flat above high C). This performance helped establish her as one of the premiere soprano vocalists of her generation.
