In short, 'Freedom of Speech' is an album that is forward looking. With a brief glance back to where she's been, the focus is on where she's going, and as a result the music shows her development as an artist in the most sonically interesting way. Honest, uncompromising, and ambitious, the unabashed lyrics are an ode to a girl who sounds like she's emerged from the emotional cocoon of her first album, and come out fighting and more powerful than ever. Speech Debelle is special. A rapper with heart and soul, punctuated with wit, moments of high energy and vulnerability, she has delivered an album full of surprises. Kwes' synths are a perfect backdrop to a bassy and atmospheric backdrop, teamed with loops, disjointed beats and rich production. 'Freedom of Speech' is a declaration: she's doing it her way and pushing boundaries at every turn. If you thought she was good the first time round, well, you ain't seen nothing yet.Zur Kurzzusammenfassung
