I became an instant fan when I first heard Lyana Lantette’s music. Her sound is like a breath of fresh air. I have been longing for someone new to come along, grab the torch and continue on in a jonrah of music that I feel is somewhat fading. The passionate, moving and soulful sound that emerged in the 1990’s. It's called Neo-Soul.

Neo-Soul is inspired by Soul Music. And like Soul Music, it encompasses so many elements and styles. For this reason, it can be difficult to define.

I define Soul Music as “The musical interpretations of the stories, of the struggles, trials, tribulations, love, joy and pain of African American People.” 

Soul Music expresses itself with emotional lyrics. Lyrics that chronicle the events of the everyday lives of ordinary folks. Stories about needs, wants, regrets and the human desire to be loved. We get lost in the songwriter’s details of his or her desire and quest to find love. The euphoric feelings that one feels when they have finally found it. And even the hopelessness and desperation that they feel when they are betrayed by love. 

Soul Music makes you want to get up and dance. It embodies the heart pounding rhythmic drum beats and thumping base lines, of Rhythm & Blues and Funk. Soul music includes the improvisational vocals and instrumentation of jazz. It exemplifies phenomenal, strong, earthy and beautifully harmonic voices, like those who sing gospel.

Neo-Soul epitomizes all of the aspects on Classic Soul Music, but it does something more. It builds on it. 

Neo-Soul mixes in the Afro-Caribbean sound, such as spanish strings. It includes the drums and percussion of reggae, samba meringue and salsa music. And, of course Neo-Soul incorporates the melodic rhyming of conscious lyrics and the musical sampling of hip hop.

From her beautiful braided hair down to her gorgeous chocolate skin covered in afro-centric fashion, Ghanaian born Lyana Lantette epitomizes Neo-Soul Music. Like the talented artists that came before her. Artists such as Erykah Badu, India Arie, Lauryn Hill and Jill Scott, Lyana’s voice and lyrical style exudes confidence, richness and sensuality.

The singer songwriter says that she is inspired by the world around her and creates music that everyone can vibe to. Lyana Lantette is no newbie to the music industry, but feels that she is still meant to do much more. She has teamed up with DJ PRIV Productions and 9Red Music Management.Together they are working tirelessly to bring her music to masses.

In the last year, Lyana has released several singles, “Getting Groovy, Reminisce, You're That Dream, Art Of Creating Things and Payday". All were received well and got great reviews. 


This is the just beginning for the talented Lyana Lantette. She is on her way to a very successful musical career.
