A Soulful, Honest Look at Life in the Modern World
Nashville, TN — Today, Lamont Landers, one of the most exciting new voices in American soul and rock, releases his searing new single, “America” — a raw, unflinching snapshot of life in the modern world, listen HERE. With head-nodding grooves, handclaps, and church organ strains, the track captures frustration, reflection, and resilience in equal measure.
In “America”, Lamont doesn’t hold back:
“Can’t afford my rent / Lord, I can’t afford to buy / And the government / Lord, is only selling lies/Nothing to protect/Has the dream just passed us by?/We’re just beating on our chest/Just trying to stay alive/This is America, in the modern world…”
The song’s gritty honesty and emotional depth are underscored by Lamont’s powerhouse vocals and electrifying guitar work, delivering a message that resonates with listeners navigating today’s challenges.
“I didn’t want to get too political, but there’s tension everywhere — no matter where you stand. It feels like we’ve hit a boiling point,” Lamont explains. “This song is my way of capturing that feeling and turning it into music people can connect with.”
Hailing from Decatur, Alabama, Lamont’s journey to the spotlight has been defined by raw talent, persistence, and undeniable charisma. A viral cover of Ray Charles’ “Hit The Road Jack” earned over half a million views overnight, leading to standout performances on America’s Got Talent and Showtime at the Apollo. His TikTok presence, including a repost by Questlove of his rendition of “Rubber Band Man”, caught the attention of GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Dave Cobb and ultimately led to a deal with Cobb’s MCA imprint, Lucille.
Lamont’s music blends electrifying rock ‘n’ roll, smoldering R&B, and soul-soaked melodies, delivering raw emotion and personal storytelling in every performance. With “America”, he offers a powerful snapshot of modern life, channeling frustration, reflection, and resilience into a song that’s both relatable and unforgettable.
“With this song, I wanted to capture something real—honest, raw, and resonant,” Lamont says. “It’s a piece of who I am, and I hope it connects with people on a personal level.”
