Rosso Tierney, a new solo rock artist from the UK, has made a strong and emotional entrance into the music world with his first single, “Set You Free.” Based in York, England, Rosso is more than just a singer – he’s a skilled multi-instrumentalist who turns personal pain into powerful songs. With this first release, he shows both his talent and his heart.
“Set You Free” is a soft rock ballad filled with emotion and soul. It starts gently with soft piano notes and calm guitar strumming. Slowly, the song builds into a more upbeat rhythm, pulling you in with every chord. There’s something captivating about it – before you know it, you’re nodding along, completely caught in its emotional wave.
At the center of the track is Rosso’s voice – rich, melodic, and slightly husky. He sings with such feeling that every line connects. His voice moves between tender moments and strong, passionate high notes with ease. It’s clear that this isn’t just music for him – it’s therapy.
But Rosso’s skill doesn’t stop with vocals. He plays piano, guitar, bass, and sings – bringing every layer of the song to life himself. The emotional guitar solo at the 2:43 mark is a standout moment. It’s not just a flashy break – it’s a release, a wordless cry of letting go. Like the rest of the track, it’s full of purpose and emotion.
Behind the scenes, the production by Sam Graves (known for his work with Asking Alexandria) brings out the best in the song. The mix is clean but not over-polished. It lets every instrument breathe and keeps the raw feeling in Rosso’s voice front and center. It’s beautifully done – emotional, real, and powerful.
What makes “Set You Free” really special is the message behind it. This isn’t just a breakup song. It’s a reflection on mental health, personal growth, and emotional freedom. Rosso writes honestly about the hard process of letting go – not just of a person, but of everything that holds you back. The lyrics speak to anyone who’s ever needed to heal, to grow, or to find peace after pain.
With influences ranging from David Bowie to The Struts and Palaye Royale, Rosso’s sound is both timeless and fresh. There’s glam-rock energy mixed with heartfelt songwriting, creating something that feels classic but deeply personal. He’s taken his past – from punk bands across Europe to his own spiritual journey – and turned it into music that connects on a deep level.
In short, “Set You Free” is an outstanding debut. It shows Rosso Tierney as an artist with real emotional depth, musical skill, and a story worth sharing. This isn’t just a song – it’s a heartfelt introduction to a musician who’s ready to turn his truth into something beautiful. If this first single is any sign, Rosso’s future in music looks bright and full of meaning.
