Free Time is the second EP from Sydney singer-songwriter Ruel, released on RCA on 13 September 2019, when he was still in his teens. It came a year after he won the ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist with "Dazed & Confused", and it plays like the work of someone growing into a big voice fast.
"Painkiller" led the way as the first single in April, a smooth, aching pop-soul tune that became one of his best-known songs, and "Face to Face" and the title track round out a set of sleek, late-night grooves with a lot of heart in them. It's a short record, but it pointed straight at the full-length that followed, 4th Wall.
