Norwalk, Connecticut-based hard rock group Steelheart have released a music video for an acoustic version of the track ‘My Freedom’. Directed by Steelheart mainman Miljenko Matijevic, the clip can be viewed below. The song will be issued as a digital single on July 3rd.

Speaking about the track, Matijevic said: “I wrote this song back in 2006 and recorded a full-band version which was released on my last Steelheart album. Considering all that has been going on in our world and the way I/we have been isolated, the lyrics kept haunting me night after night, and I was compelled to re-record the song acoustically.

“The recording was effortless but deeply emotional, bringing me to tears at times singing these lyrics. This new version of ‘My Freedom’ feels like it captures the (essence) and frustrations that we have all been experiencing these past several months.”

Steelheart issued fifth full-length studio album Through Worlds Of Stardust on September 15th, 2017 through Frontiers Music Srl.

Miljenko Matijevic commented: “I cannot express how excited I am for you all to hear this new album. Our focus was to bring back the magic in the music with songs that have been lived, loved, laughed and struggled. I best describe this album as ‘Deep, Sexy, Loving, Twisted, Romantic, and Hungry Rock ‘N’ Roll’.

“The record was recorded throughout parts of the world including a live string section recorded in Stockholm, Sweden. I truly hope you enjoy this album as it was created from the heart and no corners were cut. Love you all; we look forward to seeing you on the road.”

The track listing is as follows;

01. ‘Stream Line Savings’
02. ‘My Dirty Girl’
03. ‘Come Inside’

05. ‘You Got Me Twisted’
06. ‘Lips Of Rain’
