Jaki Graham is a British soul artist who arrived on the dance scene during the early 80’s and made the dance floor move to a synth-pop sound with a soulful edge. “Set Me Free” is from her 1986 project titled “Breaking Away” – produced by Derek Bramble. This powerhouse track has all of the necessary elements and an intro for anyone who has never heard Jaki release her vocal talents. It tells the story of a woman caught in a possessive relationship and wants to release herself from it. The production gives us the UK funk edge with a new standing diva showing us the rest of the way.
I have taken the 12” remixes of “Set Me Free” and gave it a mere turnover for this ReStructure Mix to pay tribute to the soulful side of the dance floor. There is a new hard edged beat guiding us this time around and some play with Jaki’s incredible vocal.
