Grammy and Dove Award-nominated
Fireflight releases its next hard-driving, barn-burner "Die Free" Aug. 3 to radio and digital retail outlets internationally. The single features Fireflight cofounders Dawn Michele (vocals), Wendy Drennen (bass, backing vocals) and Glenn Drennen (guitar) along with Disciple's lead vocalist Kevin Young.
Continuing the return to its rock roots, Fireflight's "Die Free (Feat. Kevin Young)" was produced by Fireflight and Josiah Prince (Disciple) and follows Fireflight's 10th No. 1 radio hit "
I Won't Look Back," which continues to remain Top 5 on Billboard's Christian Rock national airplay chart.
"Obsessed with entertainment and possessions, we've become slaves to our most basic impulses," says Michele, revealing the impetus for the new single. "All of our attention is so completely captured by the fool's gold surrounding us, that we have become dulled to the voice of God and His great calling for our lives. It's time to wake up and realize that this world has nothing for us, only the power and love of God can ever fulfill the desires of our hearts and minds."
I won't let you hypnotize me
Take back your American day dream
I won't let you hypnotize me
I don't need anything that you're selling
You can't buy me, you can take my life, but I'll die free
(From the chorus of "Die Free")
"Die Free" and "I Won't Look Back" release during a season that finds Fireflight taking a step back from constant touring to be at home more as they raise their families. While not touring as much, the band members will continue to record and release new music they feel passionate about sharing with their fans. Watch for additional music in the months to come.
