Reggae singer/songwriter Etana returns with her highly anticipated sophomore album 'Free Expressions' in February 2011 from VP Records.

In a release sent to THE STAR, VP Records explained that before her new studio effort hits the shelves, they are releasing a digital EP Free, which features three of her current hits that are also included on the album. The digital EP drops on December 7, to satisfy fans during the wait for the full-length album.

Etana calls this second album Free Expressions because she adamantly refuses to be constrained by approach or lyrical content. In the reveal, she was quoted as saying, "This album was produced a little differently from the first, most of the sessions were less planned so there is more of a free vibe. I just wanted to express myself freely, write just what I want without thinking too hard about what anyone's opinion would be - just doing music as I feel to do it."

Free Expressions has already topped the charts here and on reggae charts internationally, including Free, August Town and Mockingbird. The album's first official single Free was produced by Kemar 'Flava' McGregor and offers a somber reflection of a prolonged period of struggle endured by the artiste. Its second single Heart Broken is equally heartfelt with London-based producers Curtis Lynch, Jr and Gussie Clarke at the helm.

Etana's unabashed romanticism shines on the lovers' rock tunes I Know You Love Me and Happy Heart. Both tracks were produced by Flava. Move On, also produced by Lynch, adapts a neo-soul reggae fusion that laments a break-up but embraces life's new possibilities, as does the upbeat reggae track My Name Is, which was produced by Stephen Stanley. Free Expressions also furthers Etana's reputation as a skillful songwriter as she penned 12 of the album's 14 tracks. With Free and Free Expressions, Etana offers revolutionary changes in popular Jamaican music, one captivating, genre-blurring song at a time.
