"Maze's first single from Crealitation, The Musical, ‘Freedom Song,’ is somewhere between Tracy Chapman, Jackson Browne, and Bon Iver; an uplifting anthem that bobs and brims with reawakened innocence and infectious optimism."
- Peter Aaron, Music Editor at Chronogram Magazine
“Artists who stand as such singular declarations of a cohesive, clear-eyed artistic vision are rare,”
- Slant Magazine
"Freedom Song... is a modern day plea to the best in all of us...it starts as a quiet mandolin prayer then swells into a full scale technicolor singalong!"
-Paul Higgins, DJ for WKZE 98.1 FM
