With the release of “Fight For My Soul,” singer Jonny Lang enters a chapter where he’s found his true voice. Lang shares, “The inspirations for the songs on the record vary. Some are about personal struggles, some are focused on injustices I have seen. Creatively, I think there is a lot more going on inside of me than I’ve been sharing on recordings.” The album defies categorization by a single genre. The textured arrangements, broad worldview, gorgeous vocal melodies, and expressive guitar playing are what defines “Fight For My Soul.” After Lang released his Grammy-winning album “Turn Around” in 2007, he made the decision to become an independent artist. The first result was 2009’s “Live At the Ryman,” but “Fight For My Soul,” by its nature, is his first fully realized artistic achievement through his own label SayRai Music, featuring his own touring band. “With this album, I really look forward to bringing our music to people in places where I’ve never been before. One of my goals is the music can be a blessing to the people listening to it in some way. And if “Fight For My Soul” can help somebody by making them feel better or that they’re not alone, that’s my idea of success for this album.” After Lang released his Grammy-winning album “Turn Around” in 2007, he made the decision to become an independent artist.
