Birkenhead-born newcomer TY FREEMAN is delighted to announce that his debut EP, One Way Love, is set for release on 27th March 2026 via all good digital service providers.

Recorded at Kempston Street Studios in Liverpool, One Way Love was produced by Chris Taylor (The Coral, She Drew The Gun, Bill Ryder-Jones) mastered by Graeme Lynch, and features Ian Skelly and Paul Duffy of The Coral.

The record will be available digitally on all good digital service providers, and on limited edition 9 track vinyl with additional bonus versions.

To celebrate the news, Freeman has revealed a blistering new live session video for EP title track ‘One Way Love’, which is out now on all good streaming services. Filmed by Vessel Productions, the session was recorded at Kempston Street Studios, produced by Chris Taylor, and mastered by Graeme Lynch.

With shades of Deep Purple, Zeppelin, and Sabbath polished to a shine with a laser-sharp modern production, ‘One Way Love’ is a hard-rocking, blues-driven track with its foot firmly on the throttle.

A song of high octane emotion and unrequited love, Freeman says of the track: “‘One Way Love’ is a gritty, blues-driven track soaked in frustration and heartache, the sound of giving everything to someone who won’t meet you halfway. I was inspired by The Black Keys, early Kings of Leon, Lenny Kravitz—I wanted 70s rock’n’roll with a modern edge.”

Ty Freeman is a Merseyside-born, Liverpool-raised musician fast making a name for himself with raw vocals, a vintage tone, and an electrifying stage presence. From a turbulent childhood to pursuing his first solo project after years of musical exploration, Freeman’s journey is carved into every note he plays.

Raised in foster care, he found salvation through music, first honing his craft relentlessly guerilla gigging on the streets of Liverpool, and then in bars and clubs from Liverpool to Hamburg to Zurich. Now based in the latter for the long-term, he has already secured a reputation as a dynamic live act with an unbreakable spirit, ready to step out from the underground and onto the world’s big stages.

In 2025, his story came full circle when Ian Skelly and Paul Duffy of The Coral—once his childhood heroes—became his bandmates in the studio. Alongside producer Chris Taylor (Blossoms, Miles Kane, The Lathums), they recorded his forthcoming debut collection of tracks at Kempston Street Studios in Liverpool.

“In the studio, my head can get five steps ahead—ideas firing everywhere. But Ian, Paul, and Chris grounded me. They helped us surf the chaos without losing the spark,” enthuses Freeman of the process. “They’re probably the tightest rhythm section in the Northwest. I’d even say the UK. I’d show them a song and within a few takes, no rehearsal, they’d nail it live in the room. Paul kept things anchored with melodic bass lines while Ian and I spoke our own language—‘Beatles middle 8 into a Who-style bridge, then a CCR groove.’”

The sessions became a perfect storm of instinct and precision, capturing Freeman’s ragged-edged soul, his livewire energy, and the emotional urgency that has powered every step of his journey. No click tracks. No polish. Just blood, sweat, and tape.

‘Monareen’ was the latest offering from that collection, following on from lead single ‘One Way Love’—a raw, soul-soaked slice of rock’n’roll for the misfits, the dreamers, and the survivors—and follow-up ‘Better Man’, marking a bold new chapter from one of the most authentic voices in modern rock.

Earlier this year Freeman played a sold out 200 capacity headline show at Zurich’s Dynamo Werk 21, while making his official UK live debut at London’s The Shacklewell Arms to a rapturous reception in June 2025.

He closed out last year with two exclusive UK shows, including a hometown show in Liverpool supporting the hotly-tipped Hotel Lux (Nice Swan Records), and a London appearance at The Moth Club with fellow Scouse outfit The Dream Machine (Run On Records).
