New song appears on surprise album
Renowned singer-songwriter and author Kelly Lang surprises fans with the pop-up release of her new album Dragonfly. In celebration, we have premiered her version of Vince Gill’s 1995 poignant ballad, “Go Rest High on That Mountain,” a song that was inspired by the deaths of Keith Whitley and his older brother.
Dragonfly the album was inspired by Lang’s desire to create a collection of uplifting songs to provide comfort and solace to fans during these difficult times. With 12 songs included, this record contains nine self-penned tracks including her popular singles “I’m Not Going Anywhere” and “I Think It’s Jesus,” as well as the classic hymns “Amazing Grace” and a unique medley of “Jesus Loves Me / I Surrender All.” Also included on the album is her powerful song, “Life Sentence,” a previously released track that highlights Lang’s fans from around the world who all share one thing in common, cancer. Through her journey, Lang’s optimistic approach to her own battle with breast cancer continues to offer a beacon of hope while dealing with life challenges. The dragonfly universally represents concepts of change, transformation, and self-discovery, which are all aspects both Lang and her fans openly embrace.
“I’ve always believed that music is what feelings sound like,” shares Lang. “In putting this album together, I had that at the forefront of my mind. I hope the melodies and lyrics from the entire ‘Dragonfly’ project are an escape from our everyday stresses and take the listener on a journey to a very special and peaceful place. It’s always intimidating to write and release new music, but I am so thrilled with the positive response that I’m already receiving from my single “I Think It’s Jesus” and I look so forward to sharing the complete album with all of you.”
Lang recently released the music video for “I Think It’s Jesus.” While working on the single, Lang highlighted the significance of spiritual signs, ranging from white feathers, random coins, and everything in between, providing the answers many have searched for. “I Think It’s Jesus” is resonating with audiences with each performance, offering not only a spiritual message but comfort as well.
Lang recently created a behind-the-scenes video to coincide with the release of Olivia Newton-John’s final duets album Just The Two of Us: Duets Collection Volume 1. The project features duets with Dolly Parton, Mariah Carey, Barry Gibb, Michael McDonald, John Travolta, Paul Anka, Jim Brickman, Richard Marx, Kelly Lang, and more.
