Big Freedia has announced her first gospel album.
The New Orleans rapper will release 'Pressing Onward', her third full-length overall, on August 8, following up 2023’s 'Central City'. She said in a statement:
"I’ve been waiting my whole career to make this album. The church always spoke to me: the drama, the choir, and the attire. We are in uncertain times. I’m hoping fans can get some faith and hope from this album."

Posting about the new 14-track project on Instagram, she wrote: "This album started as a message of healing for the world — but now, it’s me who’s holding on to the music for strength. I’ve poured my heart into every beat, every word, I’m leaning on the love of my family, friends and fans to keep me moving forward."
Freedia also revealed that the album is dedicated to Devon Hurst, her partner who died recently. "Losing my partner Devon so suddenly changed everything,” Freedia explained. "This album started as a message of healing for the world—but now, it’s me who’s holding on to the music for strength."
