Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When she dropped the twang in favour of torch with Ingenue back in 1992, KD Lang became a multi-million selling voice, but projects like the soundtrack to Even Cowgirls Get The Blues and the smoking concept album Drag have sidelined her talents. Invincible Summer will undoubtedly restore her to glory with its lush melodies, beautiful arrangements and astute production. As the title suggests, the album eschews her darker moments in favour of a breezy, carefree mood that suggests the bloom of love and bright optimism. Tracks like "Extraordinary Thing" and "Summerfling" soar and skip, bursting with rich melodic joy, lifted by breathless orchestration. There are moments of quiet reflection too, like the opening number "Consequences Of Falling In Love", the Bacharach and David tinged "Suddenly" and the luxuriant "Love's Great Ocean". Throughout, Damien Le Gassick--who engineered Madonna's Ray Of Light--maintains a tasteful but contemporary production sheen of bubbling electronic effects that should help Lang find a new audience. --Mike Pattenden
CD Description
Since abandoning the neo-country sound cultivated on her first three albums, K.D. Lang has spent the new few albums in chanteuse mode, poking around in a playland of sophisticatedpop. On 2000's INVINCIBLE SUMMER, the Canadian songbird looks to a quote from Camus for the title and then loosens the reins considerably, putting together a collection of dreamy,Burt Bacharach-flavoured songs reflective of her relocationfrom the Canadian hinterlands to sunny Southern California.
Teaming with William Orbit protege Damian leGassick, Lang conjures up 11 tracks soaked in an aura of ambiance. Amongthe elements lacing these songs are hints of bossa nova ("Suddenly"), quirky pop goosed along by Eurodisco string arrangements ("It's Happening with You") and a swirling mix of Lang's sultry vocals in a homage to Roy Orbison ("Love's GreatOcean"). Throughout all of SUMMER, the thread that ties allthese songs together is love, ranging from how uncomplicated it can be (the sparsely arranged "Simple") to the yearningfelt for a secret love (the lush "When We Collide"). Best of all is "What Better Said", a sinewy song awash in electronic beeps and beats that finds Lang waiting for a reciprocated declaration of love.
