To mark the release, lang spoke with Laura Veirs about the project for the NPR Music All Songs Considered +1 podcast.
"Back in 1992, singer k.d. lang released a record unlike any other," says NPR's Robin Hilton. "Ingénue slithered against the popular music grain with songs that drew slow, deep breaths and sighed seductively. It had an alluringly divergent sound that landed somewhere in a blurry nexus of pop, country and global folk, with accordions, clarinets and Eastern European flourishes. And lang's monumental voice, both powerful and restrained, was simply unforgettable as she sang languorous songs of love and desire."
