K. D. Lang - Watershed [2/5]
In her first quarter-century in the music business, Canadian k. d. lang has gone from straight-up country artist to iconic pop songstress, with many side-steps into pop, jazz, and show tunes along the way. An eight-year break since her last record of originals (2000's Invincible Summer) has re-channeled and recharged both the songwriter and that brightly toned voice that lies within. In assembling this intimate 11-song album, which features many of her enduring collaborators but is defined by her powerhouse vocals, lang drew inspiration from all her favorite musical styles. The bass- and string-driven “Coming Home” and “I Dream of Spring”--a Spanish-style pop dream accented with Greg Leisz's signature steel guitar--are easy picks for “Constant Craving”-like success, yet Watershed's magnetism is captured in the expansion of lang's songwriting palette: the hushed jazz of “Flame of the Uninspired, " the Brazilian jolts of “Upstream, ” and the absolute rawness of “Jealous Dog, ” which strips away any studio veneer, leaving that voice as pure and bewitching as ever. --Scott Holter Brand: WACR2.
