Free Music Notes for WatershedFree Music Review: Watershed is beautifull and inspiring ~ Hit: 5 StarsThis album is gorgeous. It's like laying on fresh clean linen sheets on the fresh cut grass under a blue Sunday afternoon sky. Musically, very classic sound and style for her, which never tires, Katherine is a magician, and her first production shows she needs no one to interpret her work for her. Kds voice only grows more beautifull as she ages. She's always been a great lyricist as well, however this is brilliant, well thought, but not pretentious, in fact effortlessly real, pure, honest. Favorites are; Coming Home, Thread, Flame of the Uninspired, and Sunday.
Free Music Review: A Peak Has Been Reached Hit: 5 Starsk.d. lang's music has wound its way into my life since childhood. I've followed her ever-changing career with fierce anticipation: what would k.d. do next? You could always count on two lang albums NEVER sounding exactly alike. The only low-point in her genre-hopping is (IMO) A Wonderful World with Tony Bennett (I sat through one listen and can't go there again--just hate it!) Other than that, k.d. has never disappointed and with her newest album, "Watershed", we find k.d. in her most comfortable, most intimate and most interesting.
Everyone hails "Ingenue" as k.d.'s masterpiece, but I will disagree with that. I will say that "Watershed" is the other side of the "Ingenue" coin. While "Ingenue" was focused on the obessive love of another person (in a very naive way), "Watershed" finds lang expanding her horizons and going far deeper than unrequited love. It's this openness and broader perspective that makes "Watershed" so brilliant.
I'm interested to see where k.d. takes us next. If I have my druthers, we'd get a traditional bluegrass album! You can see hints of that on the track "Jealous Dog" and I'd love if that were explored in a full-length album. But that's me! :) Either way, "Watershed" is a must-have for old and new fans.
5 Stars!
Free Music Review: kd's vocals Hit: 4 StarsA lovely combination of old and new with kd's voice still at its peak. So good to hear new material.
Free Music Review: K.D. Lang - Watershed Hit: 4 StarsSomewhat atmospheric and utterly listenable but not as powerful as some previous efforts. Worth checking out!
Free Music Review: Flowing Like Water Hit: 5 StarsSweet, subtle and introspective. Her expressive voice carries the wind and swirling waters, and her sometimes puzzling lyrics explore philosphical depths of love, inner joy and the essence of existence. This is a very personal cd-uniquely kd, as I guess kd always is, and always has been. Her songs are soothing, moving and fun to sing along to. The background insrumental rythms are smooth and mesmerizing and blend seamlessly with her luscious voice.
