RISING SOUL STAR ACANTHA LANG RELEASES DYNAMIC FUNK TRIBUTE ‘GRANDMA’S HANDS’

New Orleans’ own Acantha Lang has just dropped her exciting single, ‘Grandma’s Hands’, a soul-stirring track that is a vibrant, funk-infused homage to her grandmother’s indomitable spirit.

Acantha Lang’s grandmother wasn’t your typical sweet old lady. Born in Louisiana, USA, and having lived most of her life in New Orleans, she was a spirited woman who loved bourbon and football. Her favourite phrase was, “Baby! I ain’t nobody’s fool.” Lang describes her as the best cook and a woman who gave great hugs.

I WANTED MY COVER OF BILL’S SONG TO REFLECT HER PERSONALITY – GRANDMA KNEW HOW TO GET DOWN!

In ‘Grandma’s Hands,’ Lang channels her grandmother’s vibrant persona with blasting horns, funky guitar licks, and a gospel organ. This track blends soul, blues, and funk elements, creating a timeless yet contemporary sound. 

Lang says, “I wanted my cover of Bill’s song to reflect her personality, so I gave the song a bit of an edge. My Grandma knew how to get down! So, in honour of her, I had to make it funky!

With its infectious groove and heartfelt lyrics, ‘Grandma’s Hands’ resonates with listeners of all ages. A live favourite, Lang’s rendition breathes new life into the beloved classic while honouring the profound bond between grandmothers and their grandchildren.
