Background and recording
In the early 1990s, Tyler released three albums through Hansa Records. With Dieter Bohlen as her primary collaborator, these albums were primarily aimed at the European market. Free Spirit would become Tyler's first album release in the UK and the US since 1988. Tyler signed to EastWest Records in 1994.
Free Spirit features collaborations with an array of producers, including David Foster, Humberto Gatica, Andy Hill, Jeff Lynne, Christopher Neil and Jim Steinman. The tracks were recorded in a number of studios, most notably at Compass Point Studios, Bahamas, and The Hit Factory, New York.
