I remember — of course, I had a guitar when I was really, really young, and we had this mirror, this full-length mirror, at the end of the hallway in our house. And I was playing the guitar in front of the mirror and I just kind of knew — I just instinctively, innately knew that this was it, that this is what my path was. And I think it was more about being famous than it was being a singer [laughs]. End Of Year Charts – Top 50 Albums 1993". Australian Recording Industry Association . Retrieved October 1, 2011.

It must have been hard, so much of her life being public property. “I grew up with the adage that there is a wealth of purpose in being mysterious,” she says. “And I feel like I haven’t had the chance to be mysterious. My sexuality, and everything, was so much out in the open, and has been for many years. I feel exhausted by being exposed. And it’s truly not that interesting!” She tails off with a laugh. She has supported many causes over the years, including HIV/AIDS care and research. Her cover of Cole Porter's " So in Love" (from the Broadway musical, Kiss Me, Kate), appears on the Red Hot + Blue compilation album and video from 1990 (a tribute to Cole Porter to benefit AIDS research and relief). Her 2010 greatest hits album, Recollection, also includes this cover of "So in Love". Lang also recorded the song "Fado Hilário", singing in Portuguese, for the 1999 Red Hot AIDS benefit album Onda Sonora: Red Hot + Lisbon, a traditional fado from Portugal. Born Kathryn Dawn Lang on November 2, 1961, in Alberta, Canada, country singer k.d. Lang grew up the youngest of four children in the small town of Consort, Alberta. As she once told The New York Times, the place was so small that "you knew everyone from the day you were born till the day you could get yourself out there." In a 1993 interview with Rolling Stone, lang said she had some distance between the making of Ingénue and its release, which afforded her a different view point of the affair that inspired so much of the record.

Does she recognise that she opened the door for others to walk through? “Um, yeah, although I try not to take huge credit for that because it’s not a competition. It’s something bigger than all of us. I am certainly proud, but at the same time, I’m just one of many. Gay culture isn’t just one sliver of humanity – it’s a huge cross-section of people.” It feels like I've dedicated a lot of my life to the business and to the craft of songwriting and performing," lang says. On February 5, 2008, she released an album of new material entitled Watershed. [22] It was her first collection of original material since the release of her 2000 album Invincible Summer.

Lang impressed critics with her 1986 album, Angel with a Lariat, but country fans didn't truly begin to warm up to the singer until the following year. In 1987, Lang released a duet with Roy Orbison, a new recording of his 1961 hit "Crying." In addition to putting Lang on the country charts for the first time, this song brought garnered the country singer a Grammy Award win for best country vocal collaboration. In an interview with Q magazine in 1993, lang said she was "very into omens. A lot of decisions are made by flipping a coin. And I don't f--k with it. When I flip a coin, that's the way it is. The coin doesn't lie…. And if I see a crow somewhere where a crow wouldn't usually be, it's some sort of a sign. I consider myself a crow. I don't know why. I just feel I have an affiliation towards them." Yes, I am because I think if you rely on a muse in the first place, you have to trust when they're not there. I mean, I think that's where faith lies, right? When it's empty and when it's not the way you want it to be necessarily? That's faith.… I think, you know, you got to remember that the other part of music is silence. Ingénue won the Juno Award for best album in 1993, beating out a host of other albums that were also classics in the making: Celine Dion's self-titled record, the Tragically Hip's Fully Completely, Barenaked Ladies' Gordon and Blue Rodeo's Lost Together.

In 2004, Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote: "Few singers command such perfection of pitch. Her voice, at once beautiful and unadorned and softened with a veil of smoke, invariably hits the middle of a note and remains there. She discreetly flaunted her technique, drawing out notes and shading them from sustained cries into softer, vibrato-laden murmurs. She balanced her commitment to the material with humor, projecting a twinkling merriment behind it all." [20] In 1986, lang signed a contract with an American record producer in Nashville, Tennessee, and received critical acclaim for her 1987 album, Angel with a Lariat, which was produced by Dave Edmunds. In 2007, she teamed up with one of her childhood idols, Anne Murray, on a remake of Anne's hit, " A Love Song", that was featured on Anne's album Anne Murray Duets: Friends & Legends. Of her upcoming concerts in Dublin, she refuses to anticipate her emotional disposition. “I don’t even want to pollute the experience by having an expectation, because you could be surprised by what happens on stage. I could be pissed off about something, but it’s still a process I have to go through. I could be elated. I think music has the power to take you in any direction, and to think that one is better than the other is misguided.” Lang: Yes, she is. And that's gonna hurt our relationship. And that's why I've always hesitated to be really, really out. I'm still worried about this article, you know? It's taken me a long time to say yes to The Advocate because I know the repercussions are gonna be there. It's like, I want to be out. I want to be out! Man, if I didn't worry about my mother, I'd be the biggest parader in the whole world.
