May 19th, 2023 - Last weekend, rising soul artist Acantha Lang made her national TV debut, delivering a dazzling performance on CBS Saturday Morning, which included three tracks - “He Said / She Said,” “It’s Gonna Be Alright” and “Sugar Woman” from her forthcoming debut album Beautiful Dreams, out June 30th.

Watch Lang’s full CBS Saturday Session here.

Channeling past luminaries Sharon Jones and Gladys Knight and equally incorporating elements of contemporary soul giants such as Durand Jones & the Indications, Lang’s momentous television debut arrives just ahead of her most recent single release, the deeply personal “Come Back Home,” out today.

As one of the most autobiographical songs on the album, “Come Back Home” was written about Lang’s desire to see her father again, who left her life when she was just 11 years old. The song exemplifies Lang’s innate lyrical emotional mastery — as she channels a lifetime of experiences and challenges into an uplifting anthem. Album highlight “Lois Lang” similarly reframes adversity wherein it details Lang’s mother’s life in New Orleans as a single parent raising four kids on her own and surviving 3 hurricanes in her lifetime.

Listen to “Come Back Home” here.

With over 1 million streams (and counting), Lang has earned praise from BBC’s Craig Charles who’s distinguished her as a “brilliant.. independent artist destined for world domination,” and most recently TheatreLife UK has distinguished her as the “next big thing in soul music” in a recent outstanding live show review.

Fresh off an extensive 23-date UK tour with Roachford, Lang also been hailed as a rising star by NPR’s KCRW who named the single “Ride This Train” a Today’s Top Tune, and she has been playlisted on top Spotify year-end playlists two years in a row, including a spot on Spotify’s Best Retro Songs of 2021 and Best Funk Songs of 2022 playlist all without releasing her debut studio album.

Lang’s rise has not come without a dedicated legion of fans online though who champion her “Standing On The Shoulders Of…” Soul series (currently zeroing in on 10 million cumulative views across IG, YT & TikTok). Her exceptional take on the song, “I Wish I Knew How I Would Feel To Be Free,” ultimately landed her a recent McDonald’s TV spotin Europe, too, proving she’s the perfect Nina Simone vocal stand-in. Acantha is undoubtedly one-to-watch with over 1 million streams and counting.

This past year she was accepted into the Recording Academy’s (Grammy) 2022 member class and her single “It’s Gonna Be Alright” was on the first round ballots in three categories for the 65th Grammy Awards nominations.

Stay tuned for more to come from Acantha Lang.
