LDS violinist Lindsey Stirling uploaded a music video Tuesday morning, which kicked off the promotion of her third studio album “Brave Enough.” The album is available for preorder beginning today.
In the new music video, “The Arena,” Stirling is seen dancing with fellow Utah entertainer Derek Hough, who specializes in Latin and ballroom dancing. Hough is known for his work on "Dancing With the Stars," as he won the show's Mirror Ball trophy six times.
The music video began with a quote by Theodore Roosevelt: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.”
Leading up to the release of the music video and preorder availability, Stirling had been expressing her excitement for the new album on her social media accounts. On Instagram, she asked her followers to guess the name of the album and uploaded a blurry version of the album cover.
“We did it. We just barely finished it. I’m so excited; I can’t wait for you guys to hear it,” Stirling exclaimed in a video she uploaded to Instagram.
“Brave Enough” will be officially released Aug. 19.
