Gala has re-recorded her ’90s anthem, ‘Freed From Desire’: Listen

Gala has re-recorded her 1996 dance anthem ‘Freed From Desire’. Out now via Ministry Of Sound and B1 Recordings, you can listen to it below.

In a statement, Gala said: “‘Freed From Desire’ is a ‘fight the power’ song that embodies my spirit. I wrote it drawing on a Buddhist concept that challenges the constant craving for more, and encourages us to value our principles and our own freedom instead. I had a gut feeling that ‘Freed From Desire’ could resonate with people.

“Over the years, I put a lot of myself into keeping that song alive and relevant. I love that the song’s resurgence was driven not by a commercial operation, but by people singing it at sports stadiums, students’ protests, LGBTQ+ gatherings, and DJs around the world playing it.

“This re-release is not just about trying to reclaim my rights but also about renewing the song’s spirit for a new generation. I feel more connected to the song’s core philosophy than ever before in today’s world where the pursuit of material desires is questioned by new generations.”

Further remixes of the track are expected to be released in the near future.
