| | Customer Reviews: What an album!! Excellent! (13 December 2008)This is a brilliant album. All of the songs are great in fact, I don't think there's a track I don't like. The musical arrangements are superb e.g. "Miss Chantelaine" and "Season of Hollow Soul",& "Still Thrives This Love" are just some particular favourites of mine. Then there's k.d.'s fab voice. The vocal performance on the nineth track "Tears of Love's Recall", just blew me away! The tonal quality, richness and strength of the voice is amazing - there's no other word to describe it! Then of course, there is "Constant Craving", seen by many as k.d.'s signature tune. It still sounds good, 16 years on. "Ingenue" may be seen as k.d.'s "stalker" album, but it also shows an immensely talented singer/songwriter, that is a force to be reckoned with ?MUSIC TO MAKE LOVE BY !! (11 November 2008)This is smooth sensual songcraft at its best, and that is why I suggest that the album, with its dark lyrics, is best enjoyed by sharing the musical ecstacy withsomeone else! KD Lang's lush voice washes over you like warm oil! There are lots of strings, and quite a few Eastern influences here and there I thought. One to play again and again ( but not in the car - seriously - it's late night music. simply incredible (02 November 2008)If you only ever buy one album off amazon, make it this. Its simply moving, enlightening and magic to your ears. My favourite album ever. k.d at her best (29 February 2008)This album is so very important for me personally but also for k.d lang. It is where she left her C&W roots behind and branched out. Now, I loved her earlier stuff but here her amazing voice is showcased and k.d gets the chance to really fly. This is one of the great torch song albums, a gem and an intimate insight into how she was feeling at the time of writing and recording. It is an album about love, tenderness, pain, solitude, sadness and joy. Apparently she was suffering from an unrequieted passion while she was writing many of the songs. I think we have all been there, regardless of our sexuality and who could fail to be touched? For me, although it isn't about the issue, this album helped me to come out so it will always live in a special place in my heart. I just don't understand her. (15 December 2007)I have to admit I have not heard all her albums, but I have heard most. Her previous albums were in the local library, so I listened to them. I can see why she changed direction and recorded this. I am a fan of some country music artists, but kd lang was not one of them. So, what in heaven's name made me buy this? Perhaps it was "Constant Craving" which, if my memory serves me correctly, won a Grammy award (for best song?) or it might have been her voice. Whatever it was, I had to have the album - and what an album it is. Her full, rich voice, the French-sounding torch accompaniment - accordion etc - and the exquisite songs just make this THE kd lang album to buy, and also one of the greatest albums I have ever heard. The Amazon review, which mentions that it has been dubbed her "stalker" album rings true, as do the other reviews about the dark stories that these songs tell. Whatever they are all about is, she sings passionately, the musicians play wonderfully and it adds up to 40+ minutes of delight - I never tire of listening to this album. So to the title of the review...why, oh why has she not produced another album which, in my opinion, which is anywhere near as good as this? I will never know! I bought some of her subsequent albums, but have not kept any! "All You Can Eat", "Invincible Summer" and "Drag" were light years away from the stellar standard of this album (I know other reviewers will be quick to disagree). Never mind, the fact about this album is that it is absolutely from the top drawer - a massively paean of brilliance and an album which will never pale, because it is timeless. If you haven't got this, you should not be ashamed, but you should go and buy it - you'll find it here at a very reasonable price and, whatever you pay, it will be money well spent. |
