Lamont Landers has released his searing new single, “America,” a track that offers an unflinching snapshot of life in today’s world and the uncertainty and instability of the American Dream.

“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,” Landers explains. “This song is my way of capturing that feeling and turning it into music people can connect with. With this song, I wanted to capture something real—honest, raw, and resonant. It’s a piece of who I am, and I hope it connects with people on a personal level.”

Hailing from Decatur, Alabama, Landers’ 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 producer Dave Cobb, and ultimately led to a deal with Cobb’s MCA imprint, Lucille.
