Freedom is the 13th studio album by singer-songwriter
Sheena Easton released only in Japan, where it charted at number 53.
The album consists of smooth, catchy
dance-pop songs including the singles "
Modern Girl '97", "Love Me with Freedom", and "When You Speak My Name". Easton had co-writing credits on songs "One Man" and "Love Will Make You Wise" and producing credits on three tracks. The album also includes cover versions of the country/R&B classic "
Misty Blue", best known by
Dorothy Moore's 1973 soul version, and
Steve Perry's 1985 rock hit "
Foolish Heart".
Easton released Freedom on her own label (SkyJay Trax) on 28 May 1997, at the same time she officially opened her website. In February 2007, Fuel Records (
Varèse Sarabande) re-released Freedom with a slip cover and different artwork in the United States.
