EPIC NEW MUSIC VIDEO DEPICTS STIRLING IN FUTURISTIC WORLD; WATCH HERE
NEW PRESS PHOTOS AVAILABLE HERE
Los Angeles, CA (June 21, 2019)– Critically acclaimed and multi-award winning electronic violinist Lindsey Stirling has released her new single “Underground” today through all digital and streaming platforms. The new song will be included on Stirling’s highly-anticipated fifth studio album, Artemis, which releases everywhere Friday, September 6th through BMG. Featuring Stirling’s signature brand of violin-driven, electronic music, “Underground” marks a new chapter for the music impresario. Tackling themes of overcoming obstacles, and fighting through life’s downfalls to reclaim one’s happiness and strength, Stirling tells the story of Artemis, Goddess of the Moon, and uniquely draws parallels to her own personal experiences. This theme is heavily displayed in the track’s new music video which released today. Set in a dark futuristic-world, the video opens with Stirling tethered to restraints as she vigorously plays the violin. Artemis appears amidst a bright moon, shedding light on the futuristic world, giving Stirling the strength to break free of her restraints. Watch the epic new music video for “Underground” HERE.
Stirling further expands on Artemis – “One of the best examples of perseverance is the moon. Time and time again she gets covered in shadow and if one didn’t know better, it would sometimes seem as though she ceased to exist. There have been times of my life where I have felt completely overcome by the “shadow” of grief, or depression; I felt like I’d never feel full happiness again. But the moon has taught me a powerful lesson. Just because she gets covered in shadow doesn’t mean she isn’t still there… and that she won’t fight back to reclaim her full light. Artemis is the goddess of the moon. This album tells her story; it tells my story; I think it tells everyone’s story.”
Beginning this summer, Stirling will embark on tours in both Europe and Mexico. The international dates will begin on August 10th where she’ll perform in front of an impressive 10,500 fans for a show at the Sports Palace in Mexico City. Other major European cities include Frankfurt, Munich, Milan, Krkow, Warsow, Berlin, Zurich and London.

ABOUT LINDSEY STIRLING:
Lindsey Stirling remains fearless enough to always dream big. In the near decade since the release of her 2012 self-titled debut, the electronic violinist, dancer, and artist has quietly and humbly become one of the 21st century’s most innovative stars. With the release of her highly anticipated new single “Underground” out June 21st, and an album to follow this fall, the music impresario is once again set to deliver her groundbreaking vision of cinematic violin-driven electronic music. After bowing at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Dance/Electronic Album Chart, holding #1 on the Classical Album Chart for 21 consecutive weeks, and receiving a Billboard Music Award for Top Dance/Electronic Album, her sophomore opus Shatter Me would not only garner an RIAA Gold certification, but it would rank as the #2 Dance/Electronic Album and #1 Classical Album on Billboard’s 2015 Year-End charts. Attracting over 11 million subscribers and 2 billion-plus views on YouTube, in 2015 Forbes placed Lindsey at #4 on its yearly YouTube artists list, making her the highest-ranked female. Her headline tours currently play to a cumulative audience of over 500,000 people worldwide, and her literary debut The Only Pirate at the Party—co-written with her sister Brook S. Passey—became a New York Times Bestseller. Lindsey’s third-studio album Brave Enough, debuted at #5 on Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart, went on to score the #1 spot on Billboard’s year-end Top Dance/Electronic Album list and earned Stirling a 2017 Billboard Music Award for Top Dance/Electronic Album. In 2017, Lindsey was the runner-up on Season 25 of ABC’s hit show “Dancing with the Stars” with her partner Mark Ballas. That same year, she released her first ever holiday album titled Warmer in the Winter, featuring classic holiday and original songs. The album went on to become the #1 new Christmas release of 2017, ahead of pop music heavyweights Gwen Stefani and Sia, and was the best-selling new holiday album of that year with over 40 million spins on Pandora. A revamped version, Warmer in the Winter: Deluxe Edition, released in 2018, and held a firm top 10 spot on the Holiday Albums chart for an impressive 8-weeks straight. In the summer of 2018, Stirling rocked fans on her highly praised co-heading North American tour with rock heavyweights, Evanescence. Becoming one of Live Nation’s 10 best-selling amphitheater tours of last summer, both acts delivered high energy sets accompanied by a full orchestra. Stirling is the model of a modern independent recording artist, with a symbiotic relationship with her fans. A motivational speaker in her spare time, Stirling uses her own story to show teenagers that you have to have confidence in the very thing that makes you unique – then wait for the world to catch up.
