An empowering neo-soul gem that feels like a timeless treasure.
Finland-born singer-songwriter Ina Forsman continues to solidify her place as one of Europe’s most compelling soul artists with the release of her newest single, “Freedom Manifesto.” Known for her electrifying stage presence and genre-blending artistry, Forsman effortlessly merges soul, blues, jazz, and funk into a powerful musical identity that’s as timeless as it is refreshing.
Building on past standouts like “After Dark Hour” and “You Make Me Wanna Stay,” Forsman’s latest track taps into the psychedelic and groove-driven spirit of ’70s soul while speaking directly to the heart and soul. “Freedom Manifesto” is driven by vibrant, funk-infused instrumentation and showcases the singer’s soaring vocals—full of emotional nuance and conviction.
Lyrically, Forsman delivers an empowering message about self-worth, peace of mind, and inner freedom with lines like:
“Ain’t got no financial value, or property / Got something better, bring me prosperity”
and
“I ain’t trading nothing over my inner peace.”
The track feels like a celebration of authenticity and self-liberation, wrapped in nostalgic sonic textures that make it feel both classic and current.
With “Freedom Manifesto,” Ina Forsman proves once again that she’s not just making music—she’s making statements that resonate. This is neo-soul at its finest.
