Acantha Lang [2023] - Beautiful Dreams [Magnolia Blue Records] (+ Album Promo)


Acantha Lang's debut album "Beautiful Dreams" is released this Friday (30 Jun '23) and will be available digitally, on CD and vinyl. You can pre-order now via Bandcamp.

Not surprisingly amongst its 13 tracks, it includes all of her 8 singles along with the title track of her "Sugar Woman" EP. Therefore, the album contains all of her previously released material excluding a track from "Sugar Woman" EP (a cover of the Film Night  theme Billy Taylor Trio's "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" later sung by Nina Simone in 1967 on "Silk & Soul"). 

We posted a teaser at the beginning of May which included music videos for all but three of the tracks ("Come Back Home" (which has subsequently been released as a single), the title track "Beautiful Dreams" and "A Word From My Momma - Interlude"). In addition she has produced live videos for two other songs ("Eventually" and "Keep On") so the only song that has not been heard yet, unless you have attended one of her live gigs where she has performed it (as in this one),  is the title track.

We have been sent a sneak preview which we can share with you below, along with all other tracks from the album except the interlude.

Ms Lang, originally from New Orleans arriving in London via New York, has covered over 100 songs on her YouTube channel under the banner "Standing On The Shoulders Of ... ", which has received over 10m views, and is regularly performing live gigs.

We've followed Acantha's career since her second single "Lois Lang" in Jan '21 and last month she made her debut appearance on live US TV on CBS Saturday Morning performing three songs from the album ("He Said / She Said ", "It's Gonna Be Alright" and "Sugar Woman").
