I am reviewing the album Freedom by Rebecca Ferguson which is a very good album. Rebecca was the runner up to Matt Cardle in the X Factor and has a great voice. She is very influenced by Arethra Franklin and this is her 2nd album. I haven't heard her 1st album and in the UK she is signed to Simon Cowell's Syco Records. She had previously auditioned for the X Factor but sites being nervous as the reason she got rejected. She is a qualified legal secretary although even in her childhood she wanted to be a pop star. She did audition in New York for a pop talent but got rejected from that. She was absolutely devastated because she spent lots of money going there. She was born in Liverpool in 1986 and was bullied as a child for being poor. She has had problems with her music management company and they are currently going to court to sort it out. This album has very much a soul and pop feel to it and I think is a little bit under rated. She has had a couple of songs featured in commercial adverts. I really enjoyed this album and think she is very talented.
