Folk music star Lynn Hollyfield has released her new single and music video “We Are The People”. The song is a very important reminder that as Americans we are not alone. The single is rooted in conviction, carried on melody. It stands firmly in the lineage of protest songs that don’t divide further, but instead gather the scattered pieces of a nation and ask them to listen to one another again.
A steady and warm acoustic guitar sets the foundation, each note clear and purposeful, while Hollyfield’s rich alto voice moves with quiet authority. Under the guidance of acclaimed producer Seth Glier, the track breathes naturally, allowing every word to land with clarity and weight.
Co-written with Carol Burbank, the song’s message is direct yet deeply human. It is all about unity and the responsibility we all have as Americans to protect our rights and democracy. The lyrics reach outward, calling for collective strength at a time when standing together often feels out of reach.
The music video echoes this sentiment with shots of people protesting interjected with Lynn performing.
As a glimpse into her forthcoming album Diving In, the single signals a body of work grounded in reflection and resilience.
