Audio CD
Publisher: Sire / London/Rhino
The album on which she officially gave up on Nashville and began singing torchy, adult-contemporary pop, Ingenue has been referred to by lang as her "stalker" album for its emphasis on songs about desire and obsession. Despite such onerous implications, the album is a charmer, thanks to lang's sincerity and passion and the smoldering arrangements of songs such as "Constant Craving," "The Mind of Love" and "Still Thrives This Love." The album's somewhat dark spirits are tempered by the campy "Miss Chatelaine," which lang has often performed live to the accompaniment of a Lawrence Welk-style bubble machine. With Ingenue, you can do the same in the comfort of your own home. --Daniel Durchholz

***TRUE STORY!!*** It was in Toronto in early 1993, and I was touring with Celine Dion then.
This was during the time of the annual Juno Awards (Canada's Grammys) and both Celine
and K.D. Lang, who I had admired since I first heard her amazing rendition of the Roy Orbison
classic "Crying", the Patsy Cline classic "Two Cigarettes", and the song "Pulling Back The Reigns",
were dominant nominees, along with Melissa Etheridge and her hot album "Come To My Window"!!
A strange chain of events had lead to the fact that K.D. Lang's back-up singers were detained
in the Vancouver airport and she was stuck without them for her Juno performance...
a song entitled "Constant Craving".
Well, she and her manager were running around backstage like chickens with their
heads cut off, when they chanced upon the dressing room of the Celine Dion band,
and in particular, us, the Celine Dion back-up singers. (-:
We were going through our usual clowning and vocal exercises all-in-one and they
heard our harmonies and thought we'd be a perfect fit for K.D. Lang's performance as well!
So they go and ask Rene Angelil and Suzanne Gingue, overlords in Celine's camp,
can they use their vocalists for K.D.'s performance that night as well, and they agree
if we are paid what her back-up singers would've made.
This is how things go down in the entertainment industry sometimes...
(backstage at the spur of the moment!)---Anywayz, our dressing room door swings open
and here are Celine's inner circle as well as K.D's inner circle, asking us if we would come
with them to K.D.'s dressing room and meet with her M.D. (musical director),
so we can learn the parts and rehearse for "Constant Craving".
We do learn it and K.D. loves that we are quick studies and blend against her perfectly!
She was so cool with absolutely no attitude or ego at all!
I find that the REAL TALENTS are always like that though.
Fast forward to the televised show and K.D.'s performance is before Celine's that night.
So we wear different outfits in our wardrobe for K.D. than for Celine, and all goes fantastically!
She recieves 2 or 3 Junos that year, and that song sticks in my head from that day to this!
This CD, "INGENUE" was amazing in 1992/'93, and it still is amazing now!
K.D. Lang's iconic voice weaves a delicious, soothing, poignant and sensual spell
on songs from "Miss Chatelaine" to "Constant Craving" to "Wash Me Clean" to
"Save Me" and others....it just haunts all the cells in your body!
I bought this CD right after our performance that night in Toronto
and still play it from time to time to this day, some 16 yrs later!
I think that says everything that you need to know about this CD!
If you don't have it, check it out and buy it! (-:

I ordered this because I lost my k.d. lang CD, and I wanted to 'reacquaint myself' with her wonderful music before going to her concert. I only had about a week and a half to get it in the mail...it came in less a week, and I was ecstatic! Great CD, and it was a great concert!

k.d. Lang can sing and sing very well. She brings whatever she wants to a song and here she is understated pure brilliance. Other than Constant Craving, which is probably the most well known track to those who do not know k.d.'s work, it may take a listen or two to really fall in love with the songs and what she is doing, but it is well worth the second listen.
