about

St. Paul Peterson’s latest is a flavorful smorgasbord of tunes, displaying the dynamic instincts of a seasoned musician who’s had a robust and diverse career. The album is a reflection of his legacy. He charters between funk, rock and bluesy soul–with the occasional element of surprise into synth-pop. It’s a rollercoaster of sound, brandishing vast wells of talent with a single thru line: Paul Peterson himself. He’s truly a Renaissance man of funk.

Break On Free ranges from the punchy Prince/James Brown styled title track to a Hall & Oates-influenced, “I Couldn’t Do It Without You,” the power ballad “Beauty Beyond the Darkness,” the metalesque funk-rock in, “Big City,” and finishes with a tender ode to his wife, “Song for Julie (Forever I’ll Love You).” He also offers some covers with hallowed authenticity–Stevie Wonder’s, “Love’s In Need of Love Today,” and Robbie Robertson’s, “Broken Arrow.” Additionally, there are two slamming salutes to his home turf in, “Something in the Water,” and “Minne Forget Me Not,” a clever adaptation of Hall & Oates’, “Philly Forget Me Not.”


Break On Free builds on Petersons’ musical roots by surprising us with musical stylings we normally wouldn’t fit into one pot, and showing how each aroma can amplify the other. It stands as a triumphant reminder of how often he’s played an integral hand in breaking down barriers in music throughout his eminent career.
