Acantha Lang [2023-05-06] - Live on US TV (CBS Saturday Morning) 7am-8am Eastern Time

We've just received some terrific news from Acantha Lang. She will be making her debut on US TV on 'CBS Saturday Morning' tomorrow morning (6 May '23) at 07:00-08:00 Eastern Time (USA timings vary from station to station so check your local listings).

She will be performing songs from her forthcoming debut album "Beautiful Dreams" due on 20 Jun '23 which we posted tracks from a couple of weeks ago which you can pre-order from HERE.

As an unsigned independent artist she is very excited at this opportunity and says that this is one of the biggest opportunities of her career so far.

For those of us outside of the US, the performance will be uploaded to CBS's YouTube channel and we will post links when available.

Bobby Harden & The Soulful Saints [2023] - Raise Your Mind [Dala Records]

In addition to their excellent debut album "Bridge Of Love" released today, Bobby Harden & The Soulful Saints have released "Raise Your Mind" (the track we tipped from the album when posted from promo last week) as the new single today.

I suspect that it may likely be paired with the title track, "Bridge Of Love" which was the last single released (20 Apr '23), for a vinyl issue?

Correction, we have just discovered that this has been paired with "One Night Of The Week" on 45 (available via Bandcamp).

Kubla [2023] - Losing Faith [Self Released]

It was only a month ago (8 Apr) that Kiaran McMillan from Ontario, under his stage name Kubla, released his last single "LadyLove" which he now follows with his latest offering "Losing Faith", which is one of his best and he seems to improve with each release.

With now nine singles (four already this year) and an EP to his name since emerging in 2019, it wouldn't surprise if an album was in the pipeline.

Frank McComb [2023] - Mama [Boobeescoot Music]

The follow up single to Frank McComb's duet with The O'Jays' Walter Williams, "Learn How To Love" is "Mama" released on Bandcamp today (but DSP's are stating 8 May '23 so perhaps it was released on other digital platforms earlier?).

The song was written by George Benson for Donny Hathaway in 1969 (which was Donny Hathaway 'written all over it'). Hathaway never recorded the song so Benson gifted it to Frank McComb. It's a perfect for for Frank as we've always thought he was blend of Hathaway and Stevie Wonder.

We wondered 'why now?", but of course it is Mother's Day in the U.S. this Sunday.
