Freedom of Speech

2012 sophomore album from the acclaimed British Soul/Hip Hop singer/songwriter. Speech Debelle is special. Soulful and raw, she blew up seemingly out of nowhere and delivered one of the most critically-acclaimed debut albums of the last few years, the Mercury Music Prize-winning Speech Therapy. Two years on, having ridden a rollercoaster through life since, she's back, and she's delivered a follow up that packs a powerful punch. If we see her first album as a confessional diary of trials and tribulations, then Freedom of Speech is outward-looking, high energy, powerful and engaged.
