ALBUM REVIEW: REBECCA FERGUSON, "FREEDOM"
Rebecca Ferguson really took it there with her new album. The album deals with many issues surrounding her last two years including
depression and court issues. Despite her label suggesting for her to take some time
off she pushed through creating one of the most revealing and powerful releases.
It is called Freedom, and it is sure to lift and inspire.
Different themes of strength under fire are in play on the strong anthems this
album. Take “All That I've Got” for instance. This xylophone, piano and horn laden
track says that despite all difficulties she's going to let the healing start
and put it all on the table. Or rather,
"My Freedom." In the two-chord base of this song she
tells her adversary that he or she won't take the freedom out of her life.
Then there is “Wonderful World.” The simplicity is in the
guitar base and in the moral that things are not perfect and bad things may be
happening but she can still see the good in everything.
Relationship songs like “Bridges” featuring John Legend
about a love that stole more than gave and “I Choose You,” a love song in which
she says her pride is gone but she chooses happiness and love, round out and
soften the release.
Rebecca Ferguson new album Freedom will be available in
the UK on Monday, December 2.

NEW SONG: ASTRO, "NEW NEW YORK"
Astro does his part in calling rappers to challenge themselves in "New New York." His stance on hip hop seems to call out certain rappers in particular, without naming names.
There are certainly different types of rap out there. Is some rap better than others? Like rap with substance? Or are all types of rap necessary to keep the hip-hop train running?
Listen below (produced by The Mentalist).
