"Sometimes, the best music isn't always immediately accessible. And sometimes, it requires patience and perseverance on the listener's part to make an emotional connection and fully understand the music and what the artist is trying to say. This is one such album. A bona fide slow-burner, it yields its secrets gradually but deserves repeated listens - and they will eventually reveal Sarah Elizabeth Charles's unique musical universe in all its beauty and spellbinding splendour".

"Floating in a murky, atmospheric space, Massachusetts-born vocalist and composer Sarah Elizabeth Charles' third studio album is a captivating melange of jazz and soul ... Overall, Free of Form is nuanced and interesting in its composition, but crucially, Charles is afforded the space to take centre stage and exhibit her seemingly limitless ability as a singer and her eloquence as a lyricist".

"Impeccable technical prowess providing the base for boldly uninhibited expression, all driving sharply shaped political and cultural views: It's a combination as rare as it is thrilling, bringing to mind Betty Carter and Abbey Lincoln and, over the past half-decade, the neo-soul-meets-jazz fervor of Sarah Elizabeth Charles".

"The potent immediacy and charge you get after hearing the first six tracks or so consecutively is not only attributed to its production value and socially relevant commentary, but, more importantly, a testament to how Charles has stayed true to the lessons she learned so long ago".
