New Orleans-born, London-based soul artist Acantha Lang has been compared to legends like Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight.

Her debut album, Beautiful Dreams, reached #3 on the Official UK Jazz & Blues Albums Chart and #14 on the Official UK Independent Album Breakers Chart, and earned 5-star reviews from Echoes and Soul Bag including Album of the Month honors from Soul Tracks. She has been featured in Relix, American Songwriter, and KCRW, and graced the covers of Blues & Soul and Echoes Magazines. BBC’s Craig Charles calls her “brilliant… destined for world domination,” while SoulTracks hails her as “one of the most exciting soul singers in the world.”

Lang has captivated audiences worldwide, from her U.S. TV debut on CBS Saturday Morning to a standout SXSW performance and has gone on to perform everywhere from Paris to Amsterdam to sold-out shows across Spain and the Canary Islands. She was invited as a special guest with the Memphis Soul Revue at London’s Barbican, performing alongside the Queen of Memphis Soul Carla Thomas, GRAMMY®-winning producer Boo Mitchell, and Al Green’s legendary band. 

A Grammy-nominated songwriter for Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Lang has earned global recognition for her music, which has surpassed 7 million streams and landed on top Spotify playlists such as All Funked Up, Best Retro Songs, and Best Funk Songs. 

As she continues to expand her catalog and shape the sound of her forthcoming second album, Lang is building momentum toward its highly anticipated 2026 release.
