Speech Debelle returns with the lead single from her forthcoming sophomore album, ‘Freedom of Speech’ (out 20th February) and it’s a love song.

Probably the most accessible and simply enjoyable moment of an amazing new album, ‘I’m With It’ sees Speech showing a different side to her character from either her more introspective earlier work, or some of the politically charged moments on the new record. Speech co-wrote the song with renowned composer Eg White, whose past credits include both Adele albums, work with Florence & The Machine, Rebecca Ferguson and more. Together they came up with an uplifting piece of pop perfection, which main album producer Kwes (Warp, Damon Albarn’s DRC project) then assisted in giving a future-Motown flavour too.

With excitement building about the 2009 Mercury Prize winner’s new album, ‘I’m With It’ shows just what a flexible, talented and straight-up enjoyable artist Speech Debelle is.

‘I’m With It’ is out 20th February on Big Dada.
