Fifteen years have passed since Ingénue launched Kathryn Dawn Lang as an international star and Canada’s leading lady of lesbianism. Her clear, pure tones, unadorned with vibrato, melodrama and other Mariah Carey-isms have floated through country, pop and swoonsome balladry. However, recent studio albums have collated tasteful cover versions and lang talked of writer’s block.
　　All that ends with Watershed, a seductive restatement of her talents. As the title implies, this first self-penned set for eight years is all about lang, 46, taking stock. “My very nature is to criticise, to cut myself down to size,” she sings in Flame of the Uninspired. “Does the taste for truth disappear with youth?” she wonders on the similarly introspective Shadow and the Frame, while Je fais la planche touches on her newfound interest in Buddhism as she muses on what reality means.
　　But this is not mid-life crisis territory. The overall mood reflects a hard-won contentment. Career-wise, Lang says that she has resolved to mature into a grand old trouper like Ella Fitzgerald or Peggy Lee.
　　Domestically, after several doomed affairs, the singer is living happily with the woman she calls “the wife”. I Dream of Spring is about the sudden thrill of love, and Coming Home tells of discovering a soulmate and finding your own true nature.
　　Lang weaves her tales over pared-down arrangements – acoustic guitars, muted keyboards and discreet percussion augmented now and then by silky strings. This is her first self-produced album, with some tracks recorded at home, often in one take. There is nothing slipshod about the results, simply the sound of a woman who knows what she wants to convey. Stylistically, every era of Lang’s career – from cowpoke to torch singer – informs Watershed, a set that marks the return of a singular talent to the top of her game.

　　-------------------------
　　From the title on down to the all-new band, k. d. lang makes a fresh start on Watershed. Focusing her energies on recapturing the spark, the creative impulse in her art, lang looks away from the trappings of hits and fashion. The album is spare, which in lang's hands is a good thing, for few artists have the vocal chops to carry such unadorned beauty (she did famously stand toe-to-toe with Tony Bennett for an entire album). Documenting her stable relationship, immersion in Buddhism, and rejection of celebrity -- and a couple of years of writer's block -- Watershed is being hailed as a masterwork from one of contemporary pop's most gifted singers.
