On October 6th, singer-songwriter Sarah Elizabeth Charles, will release her brand new album “Free of Form” via Christian Scott’s new imprint, Stretch Music. Christian Scott helped co-produce the album and is also featured on several tracks.

The project includes Sarah Elizabeth Charles’s veteran band members (collectively known as SCOPE) Jesse Elder (keys), Burniss Earl Travis II (bass), and John Davis (drums). Charles’s lyrical content takes on an even bolder identity than her previous projects as she provides lyrically melodic touchstones for issues surrounding mass incarceration, political ideology, social media, police brutality, addiction, war and historical context. SCOPE’s sonic space is conceptually concise and adventurous. At the same time, it retains colors of jazz, soul, indie rock, R&B, and electronic experimentation – all existing within an improvisational context that the band has been cultivating for years.

Today, check out the first single from the upcoming album, for the title track “Free of Form” which features Christian Scott on trumpet.
