Amid the tense political climate and the assault on freedom of speech and the press, Billy Ray Cyrus' global hit, "Goddess of Democracy," continues to strike a nerve with fans and listeners everywhere. Today, Cyrus is releasing the track on all digital music platforms after overwhelming demand on YouTube.
Reviewers across the country are hailing the prolific lyrics:
"Cyrus’ thought-provoking ballad washes fluidly over current events of the day, allowing listeners to formulate their own questions, fears, and misgivings about the state of our great nation. No matter your affiliation, the lyrics and interspersed allusions to religious icons are bound to bring images to mind, most likely different ones for every single person. That’s just the nature of the song. No doubt as you listen to this you’ll have a list of events of your own that come forward. That’s the power Billy Ray Cyrus unleashes." -Country Rebel
"The song's earnest growl, driving piano-based arrangement and on-topic lyrics bring home the song’s timely message." -Laura Whitmore, Parade
"His vocals are rich and raspy, and it has a haunting effect on the listener. The harmonica instrumentation on there is an added bonus, which compliments Cyrus' rousing songwriting abilities. Listeners will be drenched in a wide spectrum of raw emotions." -Markos Papadatos, Digital Journal
The songwriter/superstar recently wrapped a whirlwind media tour in New York, where he debuted an acoustic version of "Goddess of Democracy" on Good Day New York and opened up about the grassroots foundation behind the song on LifeMinute.TV, MSN, Spotify and Yahoo and many more.
