THE REVELATION OF FREEDOM HEARTSONG
DUE OUT FRIDAY, JUNE 26

NASHVILLE, TN (June 3, 2026) — Today, Los Angeles-based blues-infused folk-rock artist Freedom Heartsong delivers  “So Close, So Far,” the third and final single from his forthcoming 12-track album The Revelation of Freedom Heartsong, out Friday, June 26. “So Close, So Far” explores the quiet emotional distance that can emerge within life’s most meaningful relationships. 

Blending electric textures with a searching, heartfelt vocal performance, the track features Heartsong on electric guitar and vocals, alongside Abelardo Bolaño Quintero on drums and bass and Saul Bolaño on keys. Together, they create a spacious, cinematic soundscape that mirrors both the song’s themes of longing and connection and the vast, awe-inspiring landscape that inspired it.

“This song expresses familiar feelings I’m sure we all have gone through at some point,” Heartsong shares about “So Close, So Far.” “Whether that be feeling emotionally, spiritually, physically, or mentally close to someone or something, but yet still so far away in any of those same ways. It could be a love, a goal, or whatever, but life is all just a constant romance of ebb and flow, and that’s what I am really expressing through the song.”

Recently timed with Earth Day, “Shooting Stars” (released April 22), set the tone for the forthcoming spiritually driven project. Released alongside an official music video filmed at Southern California’s iconic Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, the visual companion complements the song’s themes of awe, exploration, and cosmic reflection against the backdrop of one of Hollywood’s most recognizable landscapes. 

The project’s lead single, “Don’t Forget To Live” (released March 11), introduced the album’s uplifting spirit with a message of light, life, and encouragement. Americana Highways exclusively revealed the song and its music video, saying, “…the optimistic vibe is contagious. And there’s just something irresistible about the shaker. This music has a hint of ’70s springtime / summertime euphoria – something we all need right now.” The video reflects the track’s bright, easygoing spirit, pairing its sun-soaked optimism with a breezy, feel-good visual that underscores the song’s uplifting reminder to appreciate life’s simple moments.

The album marks a confident step forward in his artistic evolution. Co-produced by Heartsong and Alan Singer — with Singer mastering the record and Heartsong handling the mix — the album blends reflective, melodic folk-rock with blues-driven fire and deeply rooted sincerity. Featuring originals such as “Shooting Stars” and “Don’t Forget To Live,” alongside reinterpretations of Tom Petty’s “You Don’t Know How It Feels” and Neil Young’s “Old Man,” the project centers on presence, perseverance, and the liberating power of love.

Raised along Virginia’s southeastern coastline and now based in Los Angeles, Freedom channels coastal openness and West Coast vitality into music that feels both timeless and urgently present. Drawing early inspiration from Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, and Bob Marley, he approaches songwriting as a channeling process — “more penning than writing,” as he describes it — allowing melody and message to flow without ego.

His music has twice received GRAMMY ballot recognition: first for 2020’s “Ecstatic Magic” from his debut EP Get a Heart On, and again for “Evil Grieves” from his 2022 full-length The Humane Experience, a self-produced record mastered by four-time GRAMMY-winning engineer Gavin Lurssen. Sharing lineups with The Beach Boys, WAR, Canned Heat, and Cheap Trick, Heartsong has steadily built a devoted following through heartfelt songwriting, virtuosic guitar work, and uplifting, emotionally resonant performances.

With The Revelation of Freedom Heartsong, he steps fully into his identity as a self-assured, spiritually rooted artist unafraid of sincerity. The album is not simply a collection of songs, but an invitation — to reconnect, to create, and above all, to remember to live.
