Celebrating the 25th anniversary of her Grammy winning studio recording “Ingenue”, KD
“Constant Craving” was the first single released from the album. It peaked at number 8 in Lang’s native Canada, number 38 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 15 on the UK Singles Chart when re-released, becoming her biggest solo hit single there. “Constant Craving” inspired The Rolling Stones’ 1997 single, “Anybody Seen My Baby?”, from their Bridges to Babylon album, with the result that the Stones gave writing credits on that song to Lang and her collaborator Ben Mink.
“Miss Chatelaine” was released as the second single from the album. The song’s video depicted Lang, who was usually best known for a fairly androgynous appearance, in an exaggeratedly feminine manner, surrounded by bright pastel colours and a profusion of bubbles reminiscent of a performance on the Lawrence Welk show, complete with an accordion in the instrumentation.
A third single, “The Mind of Love”, was also released.
Both “Save Me” and “Still Thrives This Love” were used in the 2003 Showtime film Soldier’s Girl.
Lang has humorously called herself a one hit wonder, but her longevity has sustained, building a global and diverse fan base, categorizing her as one of the worlds modern day crooners. Her Nashville appearance was nothing short of exemplifying a music icon with continued longevity and an evident connection with her listeners. Focus on the 615 applauds KD Lang with a standing ovation and leaves us hoping for her to create more music in the future.
