Tallahassee-born singer-songwriter Adrianna Freeman is no stranger to telling it like it is. During her recent appearance on Vigilantes Radio Live, Freeman gave fans a deeply personal glimpse into her creative process, her unwavering love for country music, and the emotional grit behind her newest single, “The Price.”
With her signature blend of raw honesty and soulful melodies, Adrianna left no topic untouched—from the lessons she’s learned about balancing authenticity with empathy in her songwriting to the fiery passion she pours into every lyric.
Turning Mess into Music
“This year has been a lot of mess for a lot of us,” Adrianna shared candidly during the interview. “When I’m frustrated with what’s happening around me, I deal with it by writing about it.” Her upcoming single, The Price, embodies this cathartic process.
Adrianna revealed how deeply personal the songwriting process can be, especially when the topic hits close to home. “Sometimes, it takes a little longer to write because of how close it is. I’ve cried while writing songs—and even while singing them in the studio. But once it’s out, you feel so much better.”
She also shared her philosophy on writing about others: “If it’s something private, I’ll talk to the person first, or I’ll change the details to protect them. I didn’t always do that, though,” she admitted with a laugh. “I used to be ‘petty, petty.’”
One unforgettable lesson came after writing a song about a close friend’s struggles without their permission. The fallout resulted in an eight-year silence between them, teaching her the importance of humility and empathy. “You can say anything you want in a song, but it’s all about how you say it,” she reflected.
The Price of Authenticity
Country music fans are known for valuing authenticity, and Adrianna is acutely aware of this. “They’re the most loyal, but if they think you’re not being real, they’ll tell you!” she said with a smile. This honesty drives her to be her truest self while evolving as an artist.
Her new single, “The Price,” is a fierce anthem about betrayal and revenge, fueled by raw emotion and delivered with her signature bluntness. With lyrics like, “The price is high, will you pay? I don’t care, I want it anyway,” Adrianna channels the pain of infidelity and transforms it into a bold declaration of strength and retribution.
“Every time I write, I pour my whole heart into it,” she said, describing the fiery track as another deeply personal chapter of her story.
A Lifelong Love Affair with Country Music
Adrianna’s connection to country music runs deep. Growing up, her father played country records endlessly, and she fell in love with the genre’s honesty and storytelling. The first country song she fell in love with was Patsy Cline’s “There You Go” when she was just eight years old. “The music shaped me—everything from the style to the stories,” she said.
Her passion for storytelling is evident in songs like “Just A Girl,” which sheds light on the struggles of abused children. Collaborating with the National Society for Youth and Runaways, Adrianna performed at orphanages and inspired change through her music. “I wanted to invoke emotion, to make people angry enough to want to do something,” she said of the song’s impact.
