In his version, Clemons has completely re-vamped and modernised the classic yet still keeping its strong message.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The track was co-produced by Clemons himself alongside Jake Hull and was mixed by award-winning producer Eddie Kramer. &#8216;Democracy&#8217; is a song that will feature on his upcoming album, &#8216;Eyes on the Horizon&#8217;, set to be released in September 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Back in 2013, Clemons released his debut EP, &#8216;Embracing Lights&#8217;, which was followed by his full-length album &#8216;Fear + Love&#8217; a few years later in 2017. This was where we were able to catch a glimpse of what Clemons had to offer and able to deeply connect with his music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the last 7 years, Clemons has been the tenor and baritone saxophonist with Bruce Springsteen\u2019s E street band after taking over from his late uncle Clarence Clemons. On top of this, he also spends his time touring the world and performing his own music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information about Jake Clemons, visit his <a href=\"http:\/\/jakeclemons.com\">website<\/a> and social media accounts;
