Speech Debelle unveils comeback album 'Freedom of Speech', new single

Speech Debelle has named her comeback single 'Studio Back Pack Rap'.

Debelle, who won the Mercury Prize for her debut album Speech Therapy in 2009, also confirmed on Twitter that her new album is called Freedom of Speech.

"Video for the first single from Freedom Of Speech album on Saturday," she said. "It's been a while but im looking forward to putting it out there, yea (sic)."

Debelle added: "The first single is called 'studio back pack rap'. Can you guess what it's about??"

Talking about the track earlier this week, Debelle said: "The word 'lesbian' has caused some interesting conversations today lol. Provocative indeed.

"I say lesbian in my first single out end of this month as a use of a metaphor. 'head down like a lesbian'...I thought it was funny.... Lesbian are great, get wid it folkss looool."

She later added: "I stand corrected, 'head down like a lesbian' is not a metaphor it is a simile. I should know that tbh."

The 'Spinnin' rapper attracted controversy in August for her comments about the London riots and later premiered a song 'Blaze Up A Fire' penned before the disturbances.

Debelle, real name Corynne Elliot, parted company from her label Big Dada following her Mercury win, blaming the company for poor distribution of the album.
