Big Freedia
Just Be Free
(Queen Diva Music)

Big Freedia has been spreading the gospel that is New Orleans bounce music since 1999. And Just Be Free, her latest project, simply gives her a larger platform.

The album comes with full-on bass, booty dropping, and good times permeating the album to the point where one cannot deny the energy. The fun, inescapable effects Bounce music has on the masses, Just Be Free is only a quick introduction to the genre. For further education, attend a Big Freedia concert or watch her FUSE reality TV show, Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce (filming its third season now). The music just brings people together from all walks of life.

From the opening tracks, “Turn da Beat Up,” “Dangerous,” and “N.O. Bounce,” you already know what you’re in for on Just Be Free. Simply press play, and enjoy the ride.
