If it seems to SoulTrackers that singer and songwriter Acantha Lang has risen to stardom out of nowhere over the past two years, the answer isn't quite that simple. Lang has been a local favorite in both New York and London at various times over the past decade, often supporting other artists like Robert Randolph. But it was her more recent move to the front of the stage -- and to the recording studio -- that has catapulted her career.
Through a series of top notch singles that bear the aura of 70s Stax Records but personalized through Acantha's gift for storytelling -- and fronted by her rich alto voice -- Acantha Lang was voted as New Artist of the Year in the SoulTracks Readers' Choice Awards, and has garnered millions of YouTube views.
Now, after all those hit singles and a fantastic EP, Acantha has finally issued her long-awaited debut album, Beautiful Dreams. The disc includes all of her hit singles over the past couple of years plus tasty new material that should have her fans cheering. And its availability on CD and vinyl as well as streaming services will give her growing fan base several ways to enjoy this important release.
We're ecstatic to be presenting Beautiful Dreams as our Album of the Month for July, and to finally have the chance to share this entire collection with our readers. You're going to love this as much as we do.
