Hall of Fame singer/songwriter Jeffrey Steele one of country music’s most influential voices behind the hits — is releasing his first single in decades, “A Voice,” arriving January 16, 2026. “A Voice” is a battle cry and a challenge and a hope that regular people can and will rise to the call of helping others. This is the debut track from the forthcoming American Storyteller project.  A Voice

 In a time of division and uncertainty, “A Voice” rises from the desire for change within. An anthem for connection, compassion and shared humanity. Beyond sides and labels, it is to remind us there is no left or right, only the choice to rise together or fall apart. It is more than a song; it’s an invitation to listen, to believe and to come together. Catch the video premiere on Truth Social and Rumble Thursday at 5pm EST.

“A Voice” is a bold, passionate declaration about purpose, conviction, and the power of truth blending Steele’s signature storytelling with a contemporary sonic palette that bridges classic country roots and modern radio sensibilities.

“This song is a reminder that our voices matter — that real strength lives in speaking truth with courage and heart,” Steele says. “I wrote it for anyone who’s ever been afraid to speak up or step into who they were meant to be.

Steele continues, “In a world where politicians tell you what you need, Big Tech tells you what you can see and read, celebrities tell you what to believe, and the media has seemingly general disdain for the American people, this is a song that encourages every day Americans to stand up and have a voice even if they’re afraid.”

Steele’s songwriting has shaped modern country music with chart-topping successes for artists including Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill, Miley Cyrus, Keith Urban and countless others. With “The Voice”, Steele steps back into the spotlight not just as a writer of hits, but as the performing artist he was born to be.

This release marks Steele’s first official solo offering in quite some time and arrives at a pivotal moment in his career as he is celebrating his legacy as a songwriter while showcasing his singular presence as an artist in his own right. Discover “The Voice” release
