After signing 380 Records in the early 90s, duo N-Trance decided they needed a female vocalist to sing on future records. Sixteen-year-old Kelly Llorenna was discovered at a college common room, and as she made her way to meet group members Dale Longworth, Mike Lewis and Kevin O'Toole, the three of them quickly wrote the song 'Set You Free' so that she could have a song to perform. 380 Records initially pressed 500 white label copies of the record in 1992, but due to troubles within the record label the song was never released as a single. After signing to a new label, All Around the World, 'Set You Free' was released as a single in 1993, but only reached number 83. The next year, the song was re-released with a (rather terrible) new radio edit (the Lost Soul Mix) and the song charted higher this time at number 39. The original version was given a re-release in 1995, and after benefitting from strong television and radio play, became a huge hit single. The song has since been the subject of various ill-fitting remixes over the years, but no version could possibly eclipse the power of the giddy original mix.
