25th Anniversary Edition Double LP!
Remastered With 8 Live Songs From MTV Unplugged!
Nonesuch releases k.d. lang's Ingénue: 25th Anniversary Edition to celebrate the double platinum-selling, Grammy Award-winning album's silver anniversary. This 2LP set includes remastered versions of the album's original ten tracks, including its huge hit "Constant Craving," along with eight previously unreleased performances from lang's 1993 MTV Unplugged episode, recorded in New York City's famed Ed Sullivan Theater.
Ingénue was k.d. lang's fifth album, following a quartet of records that pushed the boundaries of country music.

The UK's NME named it one of the year's best albums and said, "You will fall in love with Ingénue. In fact, you will want to have its children."

A strange brew of torch and twang, of pop gloss and jazz sophistication and shot through with Eastern European flourishes lang was fond of calling it 'post-nuclear cabaret' back then.
"Throughout Ingénue, a succinct song cycle and ode to an unrequited relationship, we witness an artist navigating love in its many splendors. It should have come with a warning sticker on its cover: 'Love is not always pretty. Proceed with caution and a Kleenex.' lang was unflinching in presenting desire as both toxic and intoxicating, a human condition that subsumes all of us at some point."
