Reset the sun Reset the Sun Reset the Sun Reset the Sun Well it's truth It's not fact, I know But it is truth And that's where truth lies In our myths In our songs That's where the seeds are It's not possible to constantly hold on to crisis You have to have the love And you have to have the magic That's also life And I regard it Even though it may sound As though I'm dealing in fantasy Reset the sun Reset the Sun Troubleshooter at my door Information on the floor Cameras in my life I think I’ll just stay high High Hackers at my door Trolls beneath the floor Cameras in my eyes I think I’ll just look high High Reset the sun Reset the Sun Hackers at my door Trolls beneath the floor Cameras in my eyes I think I’ll just look high High Where as Slaves must know the master Because the masters The slave's life is in the master's hands And the master cannot fool a slave But the slave can fool the master Because the master wants to be fooled Reset the sun Reset the Sun Reset the Sun Reset the Sun

about

La'Vender Freddy has turned a corner and amplified their efforts, following their first digital music release, “The Sunscreen Conspiracy,” in 2020. The mobile phone beat maker and social media performance artist is now concentrating on the second phase of a larger work of art. Free The Machine is the title of their 12-track collection.

From the outset, the audience is greeted by a melodic call to action, "Reset the Sun.” There are no questions in this room. All of the featured voices possess a sacred knowledge. "Blackbody, White Noise" uses beating drums and blaring horns to gather a new tribe of soulful liberators. “Mama Sol Power & The Sandman,” is the most esoteric track featured in this collection. La'Vender Freddy's intentional groove makes it easy for the listener to concentrate on decoding the content.

One can still hear the optimism and poetic sense of humor of Freddy throughout this album. From falling in love with robots to choosing wit over rulership. The title song, "Free The Machine", hits through the screen and introduces listeners to a mixture of disco-soul-punk. This collection of music confronts the machinery that helped to produce it and preserves the humanity that infused it.
