British multi-instrumentalist, Producer, and singer-songwriter Luke Marzec has released new single “Space To Be Free.” The new track kicks off “Side B” of his debut album, Something Good Out of Nothing, which has a release date of August 18th, 2025 via Swift Half Records.

Marzec’s release strategy has meant that he will release half of his album independently of its flipside, which was released digitally on March 26, and both sides feature an “exploration of modern life, memory, and meaning.” The full album will be released on vinyl, LP and re-introduced digitally with new artwork when it arrives.

Marzec says of the new track:

The best things in life cost nothing but time and space. Yet somehow, those are the very things we’re being priced out of. 

“Space To Be Free” channels Marzec’s reflections on “rising economic inequality, digital alienation, and the quiet joys that capitalism often erodes (community, creativity, and stillness).” The song was inspired by the classic sounds of soul and R&B and Bob Marley’s “message of unity”.

He says:

I started writing this song years ago, back when Theresa May was still in office. Even then, I was feeling how distant real power had become. And now, with the obscene wealth gaps we’re seeing — between landlords, monarchs, tech giants, and the rest of us — the idea of simply having space to breathe, to be free, feels more radical than ever. We work more than ever, we own less, and the space to create, reflect, and connect has become a luxury, but these are the things that make life meaningful, and they shouldn’t be reserved for the few. This song is about reclaiming that.

Side B of Something Good Out of Nothing picks up where Side A left off, with Marzec’s signature blend of Jazz, Soul, and Electronica. Side A may well be about “memory and nostalgia,” and therefore Side B hones in on “resistance and imagination — asking what kind of future we’re building, and who gets to thrive in it.”
