Release second album? I angrily criticise (8)
I believe the answer is:
liberate
'release' is the definition.
(I know that release can be written as liberate)
'second album? i angrily criticise' is the wordplay.
'second album?' becomes 'l' (2nd letter of 'album').
'angrily criticise' becomes 'berate' (I've seen this before).
'l'+'i'+'berate'='LIBERATE'
(Other definitions for liberate that I've seen before include "Set free, rescue from bondage" , "let go" , "Set free, as from oppressive authority" , "Deliver" , "Set free, emancipate" .)
