Description
k.d. lang – Invincible Summer / Warner Bros. Records Audio CD 2000 / 9362-47605-2
UPC 09362-47605-28
The first album of new songs in five years from the genre-busting three-time Grammy-winning k.d. lang is a pop and rock disk titled Invincible Summer. One of the most distinctive artists in popular music, lang has broken down barriers in music and society. After the double-platinum smash Ingenue and 1995's gold All You Can Eat, this summer have a fling with k.d. lang.
k.d. lang may still go lowercase, but Invincible Summer is Love-struck with a capital L. Following in the footsteps of the multiplatinum Ingénue and the underappreciated All You Can Eat, the singer's first album of original material since 1995 displays her hyperromantic side. Inventive production by Damian Le Gassick places lang's rich vocals in settings that meld electric and acoustic guitar lines, harpsichords, string arpeggios, and various aural bachelorette-pad accoutrements. The record's overwhelmingly smitten tone sweeps the listener along, making even silly sentiments like "In this crazy world full of lemons / Baby, you're lemonade" sound just right. The vividness of emotion on display here, along with the smart retro-modern sound, make this one you'll listen to long past September. --Rickey Wright
