V Bozeman, aka just “V,” soars in the brand new video for “Free Bird.” The singer celebrates the inauguration of President Barack Obama’s second term with her own take on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 1973 song. V is currently signed to Cee-Lo Green’s label, and the remake is expected to appear on her upcoming project ‘The Visitors Collection’ EP, coming soon.
“I fell in love with the lyrics and thought it would be a great song to cover,” explained V. “When I discovered the band’s previous connection with the confederate flag, I was even more compelled to re-record this song and give new life to it.”
In regards to releasing the visual today she stated, “Through my expression of “Free Bird,” I wanted to send a visual message to break the chains of negative stereotypes, racism, poverty, war, sexism, self hatred, etc. that hold us back as a people, as a nation. I decided to release this visual during President Barack Obama’s inauguration because the significance of this historic moment aligns with the overall theme of the song. As an artist I’ve always had a perspective and a voice and its important to me that I always be authentic to not only my fans, but myself in my expression.”
