'Free Expressions' is Jamaican songstress Etana’s sophomore album, and the follow-up to her acclaimed debut album 'The Strong One', released some three years ago.
On her latest effort – that hit the streets February 8 – she has penned 12 of the 14 tunes and collaborated with a variety of producers – ranging from the master of smoothness Kemar “Flava” McGregor to the somewhat tougher Curtis Lynch.
Several of the tunes have already been released, for example slick productions I Know You Love Me and Happy Heart. 'Free Expressions' also contains a bunch of great new tunes, and include highlights such as War and the gospel infused I Got You, produced by duo Alborosie and Specialist.
There’s no doubt that this album offers great quality, but there are two songs that lowers the overall impression. The ‘N Sync influenced My Name Is and the schizophrenic Venting should have been left out.
'Free Expressions' offers danceable riddims and soulful singing. It’s all in all a strong follow-up album from a singer that will hopefully get her big breakthrough very soon.
