Rivyl Vinyl Cannot stop listening to this. There's an infectious swing to every track blending this album seemlessly with it's 60s soul forebears. As does the artwork!

Acantha has such a rich voice, I can't wait to hear more of it. Favorite track: Lois Lang.

Family Feet August 2023 - I’m still living with this one but it sounds good. Favorite track: Sugar Woman.

1fishman Now that’s what I call soul 🔥🔥🔥 Favorite track: Come Back Home.

rick0361 We saw Acantha Lang on stage in Holmfirth earlier this year when she was the supporting act to Roachford and her set was amazing. She put her heart and soul into the music and her performance and this comes out in the the album as well.
Favourite track - well all of them tbh but especially "River Keep Runnin" and "Come Back Home"

about

“If you like soul music, with a healthy dose of blues and funk thrown in…and if you like honest storytelling and songs that will lift your spirit, then you might want to check my music out,” ensures London by New Orleans soul revivalist Acantha Lang.

In a few short years, rising Robert Randolph collaborator Acantha Lang has swiftly become one of modern soul music’s best-kept secrets — building a dedicated fanbase through her "Standing On The Shoulders Of…" Soul series (currently over 9 million views across socials) where she honors past Stax and soul legends with spirited reimaginings of jukebox classics. Thus far, she's earned widespread praise across BBC Radio, earned over 1 million streams (and counting), and has been playlisted on top Spotify playlists including earning a spot on Spotify’s Best Retro Songs of 2021 and Best Funk Songs of 2022 playlist all without a debut album – until now.

Come June 30th, Lang will release her debut album 'Beautiful Dreams' a record that's destined to propel her from an undiscovered gem into the pantheon of modern soul greats. With Acantha's takes on Stax-inspired funk with Southern blues, she tells highly personal tales atop spirited, shimmering grooves. Acantha’s storytelling style harkens to age-old blues traditions while grounding itself in contemporary themes, delivering head-on lyrical attacks on fake news (the tell-all “He Said/She Said”), odes to motherly love in the wake of Katrina’s disaster (the gripping “Lois Lang”), and celebrations of Black strength and womanhood with confidence and pride.

UNTITLED (Rise)

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
