“What’s Love Got To Do With It” Video Premiered by Taste Of Country
“When an artist records the classics, it’s important to erase everything that every other artist has done. The classics are so known because of their greatness. That is why they live longer than the artist. I believe Kelly wiped the slate clean and started from the very soul of each song. In doing so, she re-created a new magic with her own warmth and soulful voice. Kelly owned each song with a classy respect to every classic.” – Duane Allen / The Oak Ridge Boys
“There’s nothing like hearing a great song reinterpreted by a great vocalist and that’s what makes Kelly Lang’s new album ‘Old Soul II’ such a treat. Lang breathes new life into some of pop music’s best-loved standards. The highlights here are many including her playful take on Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” a sultry cover of Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away” and a nuanced delivery of Fleetwood Mac’s haunting hit “Dreams.” She also serves up two versions of a John Waite’s 1984 hit “Missing You,” a lovely pop cover and a spirited extended dance remix that closes the 13-song set. From start to finish, this album is a winner!” – Deborah Evans Price / Billboard
“Kelly brings the “Old School” to new territory with her luscious and timeless voice.” – Buddy Iahn / The Music Universe

“I released OLD SOUL in 2020 and was so pleased with how well it was received,” shares Lang. “There were so many more songs I wanted to record for that project that we decided to do a second installment with OLD SOUL II. I want it on record that I am not trying to do the impossible and improve on the originals, I’m just hoping that a new generation may hear my take on these songs and inspire them to go back in music history and find the originals. Being that we are releasing this on Veteran’s Day, I would like to thank every veteran who has risked everything to protect us all. There are no words worthy of our appreciation to you and your families. God Bless you all.”
Lang recently released her latest single, “What’s Love Got To Do With It” along with a new music video that was premiered exclusively by Taste of Country, and is included on Old Soul II, Originally released by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member, Tina Turner, “What’s Love Got To Do With It” catapulted Turner’s career into superstardom, proving to the world that sex appeal, style, and attitude doesn’t stop at the age of 40. Lang’s vocals embrace every word with ease, offering a modern flare while remaining true to the original sound of the hit song.
The beauty of Old Soul II can be heard as Lang transcends time by using the magic of each song to trigger time periods in everyone’s life that were impacted by each original hit.
