Description

Four albums and nine years into a 29 million records-selling career, The Script decided to change things up a bit. It was time, and it was necessary. The Irish trio had been rocking a creative routine: album, hit singles, tour… album, hit singles, tour… And it had worked: songs like For The First Time, Hall Of Fame, Breakeven and Superheroes had been smashes on a global scale. The script’s combined YouTube views are one billion, and they’ve had three UK Number One albums. It adds up to a band who are the rarest of things: streaming-era superstars, beloved of any number of inspirational playlists; self-produced singer-songwriters, album artists in the traditional sense; and a huge, all-ages, all-sexes, arena-filling live Phenom. But for their fifth album, the band are very much in the real world, presenting a collection of urgent, timely, future-facing anthems that speak of both real-life events and real-time sonic adventurism. Freedom Child is The Script standing up and standing strong, its title a reflection of the “whole new world we’re in” and its songs demonstrating an energetic embrace of modern pop production.
