The album will be officially released on June 17, but you can get a sneak peak at all 10 tracks on SoundCloud.com.
The “Queen of Bounce” has a full schedule these days, with an unscripted show on Fuse, the new album, and a show at the Republic on June 26 followed by a string of shows in San Francisco throughout August.
Big Freedia also released a new video for her song “Explode,” the first single from the new album.
“My music, it makes me feel good about what I do and the culture that I represent,” Freedia intones at the beginning of the video, which features quite a few black and white striped outfits similar to Robin Thicke’s outfit the night Miley Cyrus first tried to twerk.
Maybe Thicke’s style rubbed off on Freedia when they performed on the Congo Square stage back to back at Jazz Fest 2014?
All in the name of “Mo Azz,” which also happens to be the name of the last track on “Just Be Free.”
