DS Reviewed the album

It's very rare for former X Factor stars to receive both commercial and critical acclaim for their debut album. That said, one such moment did occur back in December 2011 when Rebecca Ferguson released her first collection Heaven. As well as getting five star reviews for its soul-drenched balladry, it found itself being certified double platinum and making ground on an international scale. We loved it - and still do - but it left us wondering, 'How the bloody hell does Reb Ferg top this?'

We don't know what they put in the water in Liverpool, but somehow she has done it. Don't be fooled by your first listen of lead single 'I Hope'. The lyrics might leave much to be desired for an uplifting ode to moving on, but on repeated listens its pounding beats, rousing piano and repetitive hook get lodged in your brain. That's the point though. Rebecca's moved on from the heartache in her debut, and she's not afraid to parade her new-found confidence throughout the remainder of Freedom.

Whether she's tackling issues with her former management on 'My Freedom' ("You won't take the freedom out of my life") or proving a point using questionable tactics on 'Fake Smile' ("Put on your short skirt and show him what he missed/ We've all done it anyway"), Rebecca's voice - which still remains seductively smoky - is determined, strong-willed and a far cry from the shy quiver during her time on The X Factor.

That voice continues to be in the spotlight throughout the record, whether it's splashed with gospel and brass on album highlight 'The Best' or euphoric Massive Attack beats on 'We'll Be Fine'. What's more, it blends perfectly with John Legend on duet 'Bridges'; a heart-tugging ballad complete with slowly building strings and piano. It's a credit to Rebecca's talent and firm identity as a modern soul artist that she is able to work with a respected figure in the industry.

While Freedom is proof that the critical applause for Ferguson's debut wasn't down to a fluke, it also cements the idea that talent show contestants don't have to be a flash in the pan. We all knew Rebecca had an incredible voice from her very first audition, but since then she has developed into an artist who can produce incredibly good albums - and now we're left wondering once again, 'How the bloody hell is Reb Ferg going to top this?'

Im in love with album, it's brilliant
