Following on from the unveiling of stunning new single I Hope, Rebecca Ferguson has lifted the lid on a sampler of her forthcoming album Freedom.

Set for release on 2nd December, Freedom is the anticipated follow-up to 2011’s Heaven, and is preceded by I Hope on 24th November.

Ferguson has worked hard over the past few years to try and shake the ‘X Factor contestant’ stick, and by the early sounds of Freedom, it looks like the star can finally break free of the TV-show moniker and become an acclaimed artist in her own right.
