Ingenue

Naw

absolutely love Season of Hollow Soul, it has such an ABBA sounding chorus! very cool song. this is a nice and cosy album, nothing in particular stands out until i heard that ABBA style chorus but i quite enjoy cosy albums like this where everything kind of blends together. it works really well for relaxing before going to sleep. absolutely beautiful voice too wow! and the arrangements are amazing. sounding so good. 4.5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

Good but slow

I didn't know that all of her songs are so slow and put me to sleep.

Nossa, que voz, que melodia, coisa mais linda e gostosa de escutar. Eu adorei!

Очень приятный поп-альбом, романтичный и с некоторым налетом грусти и ностальгии. Внезапно, мне он крайне зашел, возможно просто попал в осенне-хандровый вайб. Мелодичная и спокойная музыка для одинких прогулок по осеннему городу.

Couldn't be more bored.

Hell yeah. I could listen to this everyday. Constant Craving still slaps so hard. A foundation for so much contemporary music I love. LIYL: Phoebe Bridgers, Waxahatchee, Brandi Carlisle, Sturgill Simpson, more recent Billie Eilish

I've heard Constant Craving my entire life and had no idea it was k.d. lang.

What are the chances that the first album would be by someone as androgynous as I would like to be. It’s not my usual cup of tea since it’s kinda slow and with jazzy singing but I’m glad I listened

Highlights: Still Thrives This Love, Constant Craving, The Mind of Love. In a nutshell: "post-nuclear cabaret" I think what makes kd lang so compelling to listeners is how she projects the songs with emotion, not just volume. She feels the lyrics and the music. This type of jazz/folk/country combo doesn't do much for me. The impact lang made on music culture, specifically in Canada, cannot be ignored. Overall: 4/10

snoooore

This was not something I'd go to normally, but this was a beautiful voice to accompany me on my Tesco shop. Very pleasant and calming and at just the right tempo.

A perfectly reasonable album for this list without blowing my socks off. Nice alt country/rock with some good tunes, a nice voice and an origional perspective.

4 stars! Lovely.

This is #day440 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… it's a sunny October morning here in Lviv, and the music matches the scene. I'd never heard of this artist before. Wikipedia lists "country" among the genres, though I'd argue with that. Signature '90s folk/pop-rock singer-songwriter music. It was fun to learn that "Constant Craving" inspired The Stones' "Anybody Seen My Baby?" This is a 3 out of 5. Looking forward to #day441.

This was enjoyable but as a whole fell flat. I listened to the whole thing and finally a song stuck out. Atomic Numbers (Neko Case, kd lang, Laura Veirs)! Only to find out that song is the first song Spotify suggested after the album finished. I may give this another listen to sometime, the genre is in my wheelhouse but didn't resonate.

Favorite tracks: Miss Chatelaine, Outside Myself, Season of Hollow Soul A beautiful voice on a largely unforgettable album, unfortunately. Many of the songs either blurred together or quickly became (very pleasant) background music. I had to keep relistening to songs that I missed just to get some favorite tracks listed.

I have heard of k.d. lang and was familiar with the hit but that was it so I was going in with little expectations. She has an interesting voice, pleasant and full of emotions. Her sound is just a little different and just a little unique. Close to mainstream but just does it a little differently, making a sound that is pleasant, enjoyable and one that makes you listen twice. I don't know if I necessarily connected with any of the songs, but I wanted to.

meh. I've heard worse. It's fine but it definitely has a boring factor that puts it in twosville for me. Lacking in creative songwriting, the melodies aren't that catchy, the instrument playing wasn't anything great.

I didn't expect to dislike this as much as I did. I saw that Constant Craving was on here, which was a song I thought I liked well enough, but by the time that track came up at the end of the album, I was so bored and disenchanted with the whole thing that it felt like a flavorless cherry on top of a sodium-free saltine. There was just nothing interesting about this to me. I can't imagine any scenario where I would choose to play this album again. Sorry k.d.!

Not bad. As other reviews have stated the songs on Ingenue are the weakest part. k.d.'s performance is great and the style reminds me of some of Elvis Costello's pop albums.

Post-nuclear country from 92. And Conctant craving. That's a reason to the albums to the far end.

I have no smart remarks. I just like this album. It has several songs I like, and no songs I dislike. That's unusual for this genre.

Her voice is amazing, but all her songs are so boring, I haven't finished any.

Des gars viennent refaire le toit terrasse chez nous. Durant le jour, je terminais l'écoute de cet album et un des gars est descendu me voir. Je me suis excusé de la musique... J'ai mis pour le restant de la journée du Kreator qui n'est pas piqué des vers en ce qui concerne le trash/speed metal germanique.

Le "Canada" sait faire mieux. Jai encore une fois écouté d'une oreille distraite et je n'en veut pas personnellement à cette dame. Mais l'independantiss en moi est choqué de l'ethnocentrisme du commonwealth. Je veux du Beau Dommage, du Ferland, du Richard Desjardins, etc à la place de ça...

Meh. Ça me donne peu d’émotions dans un direction comme dans l’autre.

Smooth but original and not kitschy. Precisely executed. 3.6

I get that the talent is there, but these songs are staler than the unsalted crackers in the back of your grandma's kitchen cabinet that she bought on sale in 2003, in case the guests wanted something with their tea. Well the only guest was the plumber, and grandma's crackers were not what he was after, if you catch my drift. So the crackers were left uneaten, just as k.d.'s talents were left unfulfilled. But not grandma's. When she seductively dropped her dentures into the saline solution, no amount of Lilth Fair fare would prevent our heroic plumber from plugging up grandma's leaky drain. And when the job was done, beaming satisfaction eminated from them them, while you, the poor grandson or granddaughter, sat in the basement miserable, listening to k.d. lang playing a game of grand theft genre that would make Paul Simon proud.

Not much about this country pop album stuck with me. Very polished and sanitised in terms of sound. Can imagine it being very popular but overall sounds inoffensive and forgettable.

It is hard to deny k.d. lang's singing and songwriting on Ingénue.

How can you listen to this album and not feel sexy, sultry, and fabulous? Much like a ... dare I say it ... ingenue!

The one everyone knows and the other songs. Constant Craving is pretty good and very plaintive (is that negative, I don't mean it as such). The rest is just very MOR. It's fine basically, I wasn't offended by having to listen, but I don't think it'll live long in the memory.

Beautiful voice, brilliant songwriting and musical arrangements. I'm a sucker for smooth, emotive female voices like k.d.'s. Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O'Donovan, Becca Stevens, Joan Armatrading, Joni Mitchell and Petra Haden come to mind. This was a treat. Not paying attention to k.d. lang for all these years was a boneheaded move on my part.

I enjoyed this more than I thought, definitely a discovery. Never heard of her before.

An incredible voice and song writing. I can see if I gave this a few listens and came back to it, it could easily be a 5. For now though it didn't make an immediate connection with me. Fav track: Outside Myself

Beautiful voice

Album 28 /1001 Apart from Outside Myself and the Johnny Marr esque guitar twang on Constant Craving, this really didn't do it for me. Sorry k.d. 🤷‍♂️ Though, you have inspired me to change my name. From this moment forth I shall be known as ed.d coppin (all lower case). Cheers, folks. 😎

It’s good for what it is, but stylistically it just not something I gravitate towards. 2 plus stars but it’s not getting rounded up to 3 for me.

Really not my thing. I really didn't find anything here that leapt out or made me want to hear more. It's a me thing, not a kd thing.

There are elements to this album that I liked, K.D.'s voice had some really nice tones and played well over the music. The vibe overall was relaxing and layered. All that being said, this really isn't my jam but I can understand why people like it.

Etwas mehr Abwechslung (Stil, Instrumentierung, Arrangement...) hätte dem Album gut getan. So plätschert etwas langweilig vor sich hin.

First I will say she has a great voice, but this is adult contemporary music which is not my bag. It has a cabaret feel, almost amusement park like music in parts. It is well produced and the music sounds clean.

Starts as smooth jazz, ends as a jazz club, but feels hollow all the way through. Beautiful voice but that’s it.

Pleasant, enjoyable, and in a list of 1001 tracks, I guess it earns its right to be included

Icon. Amazing that the lead single, and smash hit, is the final track. Unusual sequencing.

I just can't with this. I don't think it's 1 star worthy to me, but it's not worth much more. I remember why I never listened to k.d. lang in the 90s. I would call out something atrocious, but it was so boring I've already forgotten almost everything from the album.

Much better than her first album!!

sembra di stare nel deserto, ma non ha niente di africano o cose cosi

я не помню другую её музыку что слышала но эта приятная, хоть и местами слишком вибрато + околокантри

Boooorrrrrrinnnnggggg

Soul soothing as always

Rating: 5/10 Meh.

It’s fine I guess. Kinda soft, kinda boring

A few decent songs, just couldn’t get into the groove

This one didn’t quite resonate for me. The songs all sounded kind of the same and it felt like country easy listening. Not what I go for and it never hooked me. Ehhh 🤷‍♀️

Loved Constant Cravings so thought I’d really like the album but the rest was just meh. Not bad but just not my genre.

Lang has an absolutely gorgeous voice. Beautiful tone and the quality of the songs are fantastic. It makes for great, calming background music. This being said, the songs are not exactly the most memorable. I will not go as far as to say I was completely bored by it because I was just so impressed by k.d. lang's voice, but a great voice does not a great album make. It's certainly pretty but lands in the middle of the road for me overall.

nice safe album. ticks all the boxes.

didn’t know what to expect but really enjoyed it. reminded me of laufey at times

This really hit. Excellent vibe, great production, and wonderful singing.

Lot of hype around this one when it came out, I've owned a copy for years. She is a wonderful voice and this is a nice record but it's never got me super excited

These alternative country albums, man

Bolji mi je dosta od onog prvog, shadowland

Listening now. Great! Might not come back but I like how clean the sound is.

super cool

Another singer – songwriter style album. Fine to listen to but not something I would ever seek out on my own.

I expected the sulky 90s tunes like “constant craving”, the hit I heard back then. I didn’t expect the ABBA-esque “season of the hollow soul” or the sped up bossonova of “Miss chatelaine”. I liked this more than I thought I would!

Awesome voice. Great control.

Amazing voice, music ok

Pretty good but bit too samey

This was actually amazing I though, great voice and great style

I actually didn't listen to this album and never will. She just isn't my style of music

What a lovely album. What a lovely fusion of cabaret, country, and folk. "Constant Craving" alone gets this record 4 stars.

I’m really finding that this stripped back production only works for me when the singer has the vocal energy to back it up and k.d. lang doesn’t have it. This is not helped by how long this is. Truly a tedious listen, tho I am willing to give this album some flowers for “Outside myself” and “Constant Craving”, those are not enough to elevate it much, but hey, one goodish song with energy is better than none.

No, thank you.

Adult contemporary is a hilarious genre name. It's like she want trying to make music. This album is like she isn't even trying.

Well constructed lyricism and a deeply affecting voice to back it emotionally. Interesting how this can slip into a place of feeling a bit like an Americana Sade from time to time.

I can't deny that she has talent, but I just find this album to be overall so uninteresting that her talent feels really wasted. I think that she has a great voice, and that is definitely what keeps me the most invested in listening to this, but the complete lack of anything else interesting going on is so hard to look past.

Lovely production and voice. Nice chill country vibes, think this is a 3.5 but don’t think I’ll come back to it enough to get to 4.

I really struggled with this album. I tried really hard to like this album but it did nothing for me. It felt like something you'd hear in a starbucks in the 90s. She's clearly very talented but her sound just doesn't resonate with me. At times it was a tedious listen. I don't know how else to describe it other than "boring". Feels bad to say that. Just not for me.

i see the influence on modern day sad girl indie but i have no real liking for it other than alberta

Meh. Kind of lounge music vibes. Soft easily forgettable. Was getting ready for a funeral when listening to, so a bit distracted. That being said, nothing about the music commanded my attention away from my own thoughts. It was just a little boring for my tastes

This was awesome. I had really only heard like 3 kd lang songs before today (Constant Craving being one of them), and I really liked them all, but I had no idea what to expect from this album. I really, really enjoyed it. It was nicely melodic and hummable, and kd's voice is very distinct and nice to listen to, to my ears at least. It was a nice listen the whole way through, and it seemed too short, so I listened to it again, and again a third time. Five stars.

If Norah Jones is a digestive biscuit - bland enough to dissolve before you’ve even noticed it’s in your mouth - and Céline Dion a vat of schmaltz dumped over your dinner, then k.d. lang’s Canadianised Americana, adulterated with Métis accordions and Parisian torch song touches, falls somewhere between the two. It's more butter than straight schmaltz and most of that is on the lens that took the soft-focused cover photo. But, as it happens, a digestive biscuit slathered in butter is a quiet indulgence of mine: humble at base, but I'm willing to let several make me sick. The songs themselves are so earnestly intimate they border on the absurd, but lang’s soft masculinity is charming, like a teenage girl's sexless love object. There's no threat here. The production is polished, though full of questionable choices. So too with the composition: on Season of Hollow Soul, lang repeats the same grammatical error as on Live and Let Die. It's faintly embarrassing, but it's preferrable to some of the more banal sentiments. You quickly learn the lesson of too much seemingly humble indulgence. 1.5 k d lang’s singing voice is as nondescript a voice as I’ve ever heard. So marked is the effect of vocal blankness that I feel a pang of doubt about writing that because despite having just listened to ten of her songs I can’t recall her voice at all. I am just left with the odd realisation that the English language has no power to capture positively what k d does. The defining qualities are only what isn’t there; accent, personality, edges, colour, air, life. She sang. There is so much else to not care about remembering here. Were there drums? I have no idea. There could have been lots of instruments - I have flashing recollections of violins, double bass, accordion - but their presentation was so clean and precise that they had an unreal quality. Like the bowl of plastic fruit my granny kept on her dining room table. It looked so real. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t. I tried a grape. Later I tried another grape just in case there had been a plastic one there by coincidence the first time. Every grape must have been a fake. The most plastic effect on Ingénue is k d when she does her backing vocals. They map so precisely to the main line and with so little variation in the ease of delivery whether up or down her range that they simply repulse. There is too much control here. Too little air allowed in. It leaves the impression of a very sanitary album. If there were real instruments none of them had any oul pathogens on them. All was safe and inoffensive. I do remember being slightly offended by The Mind of Love. It felt like a weak send-up of Joni Mitchell’s Jonicentrism. Mitchell was self-obsessed sure, but a great artist in her self-interrogations, certainly always good enough that she could never have written anything as trite as: ‘Surely help will arrive soon/ To cure these self-induced wounds/ Why hurt yourself Kathryn?’ So k d’s sneering joke didn’t land as far as I’m concerned. SNL-level stuff. It was meant to be a joke right? Well I don’t really care, let’s forget about it along with almost everything else here. Almost. Because there is one thing that will stay with me from this record. I was in the middle of listening to Season of Hollow Soul. I was thinking that this must already be one of the worst songs I had ever heard; a ghost of some forgotten German cabaret number tortured, half-captured in a summoning circle of pure bleach. Then the sudden wail of the clarinet. I should have seen it coming of course - the genre markers were there. Yet I felt a shiver of anticipatory horror go through me as when a slight, blurred movement in the background of the camera shot shows that the killer is in the house. ‘This couldn’t possibly be about to get worse,’ I told myself in that moment. The grotesque klezmer joke - the sad clown doing the deflating balloon about 6 times in a row - then the song immediately returned to its putrid chorus and hook, like a dog to its vomit. Later I actually listened again with the lyrics up to confirm that Season of Hollow Soul is indeed, objectively, one of the worst songs ever written and I should know because I’ve written a few of them. So that’s not nothing. Even if it’s a bit worse. 0.5/5

Nice

Mélodies agréables, très belle voix. Un peu ennuyant pour mes oreilles mais fait un très bon album de fond.

I guess I've never listened to k.d. lang. Did not realize her country influences. Very good

you know what? I really enjoyed!

It should be impossible for an album to be simultaneously this boring and this annoying.

For me, it was boring - but I don't think this is bad. Just not something for me.

I love kd lang

6/10 - I do not really understand why I liked the other kd lang album. Like this one was fine but I have multiple songs from the other album in my liked songs that I do not skip

It was pretty good. Much better than I remember the last kd lang album being

Constant Craving

What I gleaned from this is that k.d. lang is an extremely talented musician but that I don't particularly enjoy her music. This album is very cabaret but with spatterings of country and Americana. I can't say it was bad, but just a bit milquetoast and most of the songs blended together so that as I write not much stood out. I'm not sure why this warrants a place on the list.

Hard to justify listening to this instead of Linda Ronstadt if I’m in the mood for a lightly latin-inspired singer-songwriter vibe

3.3

early 90's easy listening musak

sexual no lo tenia ni ahi muy bueno me recuerda a sade pero mas chill todavia

I like her voice. I don't understand the purpose of the music. Boring to me. Sounds pro though. Favorite song: constant craving.

This was quite bland and uninteresting but not necessarily in a bad way. Bits of it I enjoyed but more in a ‘here’s something ok going on in the background’. Probably the best thing Smooth FM could ever play. After a quick wiki search I think I find her more interesting than the record.

Never heard of her, good pop voice, was interesting in parts. All in all was a bit too bland to grab me, voice was the main attraction and the music was never allowed to get in the way. Not bad but not for me.

Still Thrives This Love, and Season of a Hollow Soul were the standouts (although, they did blend together). I found the album overall quite enchanting, and not in the least bit irritating. My main criticism is the lack of anything memorable - incredibly inoffensive. The perfect music for a boutique coffee shop, where I can drink a matcha latte with oat milk, and pick an enormous print book off the shelf on Rothko. The owner's name is Michelle, and she doesn't open late on Wednesdays, when she has to pick up the twins from lacrosse. The village fête is at the weekend, and she's promised two dozen artisanal geometric cakes for the bake sale. She doesn't have time for Linda Rondstadt.

Hadn't heard of k d Lang before. It's nice enough, but it was pretty dull. Reminded me a bit of everything but the girl. Overall not really my thing, but it isn't bad

Forgot how much I love her voice. I will revisit the back catalogue

Classic 3.5 stuff A fun fact about me is that my only reference for kd lang for a long time was the Pee-Wee Herman Christmas special

Save Me 3 The Mind of Love 3.2 Miss Chatelaine 3.4 Wash Me Clean 3.1 So It Shall Be 3.1 Still Thrives This Love 3.3 Season of Hollow Soul 3.4 Outside Myself 3.2 Tears of Love's Recall 3.1 Constant Craving 3.3 Score: 3.21

More country than I expected; it didn’t help.

Beyond torch - the best of these hit serious highs

Not bad but a bid meh

pleasant but dull

Adult contemporary stuff. A bit bland for me but Still Thrives This Love is kind of cool with a tango vibe.

Starts out nice, but falls off fast and gets boring for me. Perhaps it's the fatigue of catching up with 2 weeks of albums in the past 3 days. Het voice is beautiful and the music suits it well. I can see how this would catch on in a time with artists like Celine Dion.

No tengo mucho para acatar sobre este álbum. Es un lindo trabajo, tiene un buen empleo de voces y orquestación. Pero en general me pareció poco sobresaliente y hasta aburrido para mi gusto. Simplemente no es mi estilo, pero independientemente de esto, me pregunto cuál es la relevancia que este álbum podría tener como para estar en esta lista... supongo que es por el track "Constant Giving", que es lo más memorable del disco, pero no me parece que por ello haya que escuchar todo el álbum. Incluso considero que la iteración de Rolling Stones (Anybody Seen My Baby) es mucho mejor y más sobresaliente.

me gustaron algunos temas, pero los que note más"armoniosos" me la bajaron un poco

a rounded down 3 star for my music tastes, less than the cowpunk stuff would be +1 star for meaning a lot to some of my favourite people & for being the style icon that (mostly unknowingly to me) influenced the foundations of what I think is cool +1 star for being from 2 hours east of my home & for being banned on 30+ regional radio stations for having principles get fucked cowards. 5 stars.

Obligatory extra star for being Alberta coded. But also liked it a lot on its own merit. Not quite as cool as cowpunk k.d. but still cool.

I can tell that she is talented, but this just isn’t my kind of music. Pretty average to me. 2.5/5 Won’t listen again

A lot of fun, miss chatelaine was the highlight for sure. Nice mix of different styles of music from a Caribbean drum to a French sounding accordion

Extremely gentle and palatable songs. Perfect for a somewhat classy dinner with your parents that you didn't even really want to host in the first place. Halfway through, my mind drifted off and started to wonder what k.d. could stand for. My top contenders were Krazy Diane, Kid Dock and Konkey Dong.

The two hits are nice wee tunes but, with the best will in the world, the rest is dull. Next!

Her voice is kinda like a female crooner. It's a little cheesy for my taste. Musicianship is solid. Very smooth listening, felt like good for a rainy day, but not my speed. Didn't add any tracks to my liked list.

Ye

Entspannte Musik, die auch gut zum Arbeiten ist…

It was alright. Not my favourite.. Not unique enough I think!

I’m sure some people vibe to this and find this kind of music appealing, but I am not one of those people.

Pop de cantautor de la época. Un disco muy sólido. 7/10

this is such a thrift store cd to me but so so good

k.d. lang really knows how to use her voice well. Unlike many other writers and singers, she somehow avoids the pitfalls of over-sentimentalizing things or just plain falling into often pointless firework style vocalizations. Her ability to create her own music as well as present covers of other people's is solid in every way.

Insanely boring. Stopped 2/3rds way through. 2/5

Favorite Track: Constant Craving

A musician I've never listened to but know the name of because Sue Sylvester name-dropped her once in Glee. I know she's a lesbian and that's about it. Save Me: Immediately a much more beautiful, smooth, girlish voice than I thought she'd have. It's like a waterfall of voice. A voice I'd like to live in for a while. A voice I'd lay down near and let wash over me. The Mind of Love: So far, this album is living up to its name. With all its pleas for help and saving, she's very much a damsel. It's a lilty sort of music that lends itself to this narrative. At the same time, it's sort of beachy and tropical. She's a really wonderful vocalist, like a Joni Mitchell or something. Miss Chatelaine: This one's more upbeat, a little bit country. But it's also a little bit Italian or American standard, like I could listen to it in a gondola or in a Broadway Show written by Cole Porter. She's got a real classic voice. It's so beautiful and it even suits this more glamorous style. Wash Me Clean: This is almost too beautiful to take in. Wow, it's really just nice. Perfect, even. For what it is. I don't love slow stuff like this, but if I'm in the mood for it, it's wonderful. It's just so simple and real and tactile. Music I could reach out and touch. So It Shall Be: Reminding me of Janis Ian, who is also a moody lesbian I think. Beautiful like a sunrise or something. So grand with such a great flourish but it's not tacky whatsoever. Still Thrives This Love: She's very European mistress in this one. It's like music from a tenement or some Spanish/French/Russian? alleyway. It's a little tragic. Ooh, tension in the strings. Music to dance the calypso to. Season of Hollow Soul: A little bit suspicious. It's got a jazzy twist. The little details are really nice, the breathing and the sweeping noise. Wow, it's just so great. And then it releases into this grand, almost Christmas-y bit. God, it's so great. Gets a little ABBA at the end which I'm never really in love with, but okay. Outside Myself: I don't like this quite as much as the other songs, but I think I'm just a little tired right now. It's definitely still beautiful. Tears of Love's Recall: It's just so royal. It's like looking through a stained glass mirror. Constant Craving: Okay, I've heard this is her big hit and I can tell it's a little faster and more upbeat. You know, I think I've heard this before. God, it sure is beautiful. That "ah-haaaa!" It's just so good. Fade out pissing me off but overall, a great ending to yet another great album. Really glad I listened to this! This is the kind of music that I'd just never go out of my way to listen to usually. But it was so breathtaking. I find most music like this a little boring, especially in long stretches of time, but this mostly escapes that. Still, this is sort of the kind of music I listen to at special times, so I don't know how often this'll be in my rotation, but this is an EASY 4 and maybe even a 5.

I enjoyed it more than the last one from her. Less country twang and more lush instrumentation and hooks. 6/10

Not for me

Didn’t love it, can see the appeal though. Won’t come back to this one but the closing track is a classic

yayy! lesbian music. Pretty chill album not really much to say except its lesbian music so it automatically gets points from me. 6/10 Favourite: The Mind Of Love Least Favourite: Season of Hollow Soul

Nice singing and nice instrumentals but a little boring overall.

A good album, a pleasure to listen and forgot about work 3/5

Meh. Its a relaxing album one song sets the tone for all. Good voice and lyrics but too similar all songs.

Soulfulness that reaches towards Ronstadt and a 70´s sensibility

Qué maravilla y qué calidad musical. Un gran descubrimiento.

A good album, I liked Still Thrives This Love, Season Of Hollow Soul and Constant Craving.

For adult contemporary singer/songwriter music, this was actually a pretty good album. It has a more minimalistic and refined approach, with gentle guitar work, subtle keyboards, and some orchestral arrangements that gives it a sophisticated chamber pop vibe.

This was better than I anticipated.

Meh

It is ok

If you fall asleep after Save Me and have a nice nap of around half an hour you can wake up in time to hear Constant Craving. There's a lot for MOR country/pop in between which isn't offensive but didn't grab me either. I feel like this album is tastefully produced but that's not necessarily a good thing, it sounds a bit sterile and formulaic which is a shame because there's no disputing the quality of K.D. Lang's singing voice. I gave the Slits five stars a couple of days ago so for all the people who gave cut 1 or 2 stars this might be what you're looking for.

Getting KD Lang the day after Black Sabbath is almost unfair. Sabbath brings an amazing force to their records. KD Lang is almost the exact opposite. This record has a very laid back feel. Sadly, it never really departs from that until the very end, and it ends up making this record pretty lackluster in my eyes. Save Me saunters along, almost in a very slow southern type of way. A pretty basic chorus, but there is something about this song that crawls along with just enough interesting aspects to keep me engaged. A decent start. Unfortunately, she follows this up with a series of very sleepy songs that barely hold my interest. At least until Season of the Hollow Soul, which has some nice layers to it. Frankly, this had a similar feel of the types of songs that Sting was writing around the same time (the cello helps, the la la las do not). Of course, it's then back to more laid back songs . . . Until the closer, of course. Constant Craving is, by far, her best known song and for good reason. This is a very well constructed song which shows off KD's voice really well. But this was about it for selections that are memorable. The rest of the time KD's vocals are backed by a bunch of lackluster songs that have a bit of character, but not nearly enough to hold anyone's attention.

++: The Mind of Love, Miss Chatelaine, Wash Me Clean, Still Thrives This Love +: So It Shall Be +-: Save Me, Season of Hollow Soul, Outside Myself -: Tears of Love's Recall, Constant Craving 6,3/10

This is undeniably beautiful but so bland it needs a lot of chilli sauce with it. Constant Craving is a banger of course.

Really beautiful voice. Great album when in the right mood. 3.5

Do not like at all

There's a lot in this to like. I'm between a 3 and 4. It's a lot better than other albums I've given a 3 to so we'll go for a 4. Stand out song - Constant Cravings

4/10 Boring. Constant craving was ok I guess.

It was... fine. I could see this being played at a wine bar. She has a lovely voice. Nothing, however, stood out. She gets three stars for the vibe.

This is another one where the production is gonna drive me up the wall. All the sampled instruments on the opening track want me to yeet this record into oblivion. WOW YOU GOT A CASIO KEYBOARD, NOW YOU'RE THE BEST!!! Use that pitch wheel! Thankfully they seem to ditch that shit after the first track, but man, what a way to make a bad first impression. The vocal performance is fine, but the lyrics and presentation come across as really sappy, and overly dramatic. "Where is her head?" Maybe try looking above the shoulders? This isn't hard. Kiss/this smile/while? The easy rhymes would be more tolerable if you didn't pick the simplest/laziest one to repeat a million times. The longer the album goes, the more I realize it's just the same vocal 'melody' over and over again. Maybe in a different key. You don't even need to read or process music to get it--every vocal line is just -_-¯- Every. Single. One. Sorry if I ruined it for you. Oh, and now they've brought in the synth bass from Seinfeld! Classic. Is it over yet? New favorite lyric "like blood to chocolate fall," because it's that hard to rhyme with "recall." Nothing rhymes with recall at all. I'm hitting a wall. All I can do is stall. If I could play, I would've balled. 1.6, decent voice, and it seems like you kinda tried to do whatever you're doing. I know we'll get worse than this.

Not somethign I would normally revisit, but the songwriting and production is really strong - outside of the historical/cultural importance.

Like a really laid back lounge act. Relaxing and both sad and happy at the same time

My parents had her other album ‘All You Can Eat’ and about halfway through this I felt a rush of nostalgia from hearing her voice. Good 90s alternative pop. The kids love chill vibes kinda music right? I feel like she should be a bigger household name to this day.

Holy cow, k.d. lang has a gorgeous voice. Really enjoyed listening to this.

Great. Love it.

Lots of very well performed and sung songs that are fundamentally mediocre.

Great voice and instrumentation, a bit Loungy

I’d never listened to k.d. lang before but had the impression her roots were in country music. I couldn’t detect any such influence in this album. Very smooth easy listening without being bland. My favourite track is “Outside myself” which is an outlier on the album - I’d like to hear more like this

Much better than her lacklustre debut Shadowland, which is also an entry on this list. Ingenue starts with a warm, well-arranged number in Save Me. The acoustic guitar, light hand percussion, and velvety vocals (lead and backing) make for a solid texture. Gorgeous old-timey strings (think original Disney fairytale films) are used frequently throughout the album in combination with some pretty great backing vocals and solid mixing to create a generally lovely, albeit not unique, sound. The first half of the album is much more consistent than the second in this regard, with most of tracks 1-5 following this same warm mid-tempo feel. k.d. lang's singing is fine, about on par with her previous performances. The entire sound is a bit held back - something I also took issue with in Shadowland. I felt the whole time (in Ingenue) that k.d. lang was searching for a big break, a rocky blast of emotion and loud percussion somewhere in one or several of the songs. Instead, every song is more or less the same volume and textural depth as the rest. We do get a variety of genres and harmonic ideas though, from the jazzy swing and unexpected stadium-rock change in Season of Hollow Soul to the soft, introspective Wash Me Clean, to the upbeat pop of Constant Craving. Tears of Love's Recall is the worst song of the pack because it forgoes any kind of memorable memory in favour of... something. I'm not really sure what k.d. lang saw in this composition but I definitely don't see it. 3/5 Key tracks: Miss Chatelaine, Still Thrives This Love, Season of Hollow Soul

Can't believe it, but have never listened to k.d. lang before and I love? It's so good. Gonna be checking out the back catalogue.

Early 90s androgynous pop for the soul.

2.6 Not sure what happened there but she seemed to break me down towards the end. With a couple of songs to go I was ready to absolutely maul it, calling it one of the more boring things I've listened to for weeks. Suddenly the last 3 songs started to click. Can't say I'm desperate to go back and check if I was wrong, but seemingly ok background music. Not really my thing though. How did this win a Grammy lol.

She has a good voice and the production is crisp, but this was boring as hell and not my thing. Couldn't get into it.

I was looking forward to this one, but I actually did not enjoy it. lang's voice is lovely, and the early-90s production was spot on, but the songs were largely bland and boring. "Constant Craving", the only song I'd ever heard before, was a standout track, containing an energy not present elsewhere on the album. Very disappointing. Standout track: Constant Craving

Okay, who's going to slow dance with me to this entire album?? Ahh, I adore this woman. I've been looking forward to this one. I enjoyed Shadowland, which I hadn't heard before, but her artistry really shines through on Ingénue. She has one of the most beautiful tones, just a breathtaking voice. Like a rich dessert wine. And there's much to appreciate for anyone who likes to geek out over lyrics. Especially from a queer perspective. Lyrics such as: "My desire / Carries no shame / My will / Will harbour no pain" from Wash Me Clean have more weight to their words considering she came out as a lesbian while promoting this album - a trailblazer in the entertainment industry at the time. She left no room to misinterpret her work. Constant Craving might be the best song; I wouldn't argue against it, but the choice for my playlist is Season of Hollow Soul. The lyrics, such as "Sour the fruit of neglect / The core of my doubt / Deprived are my veins you infect / With or without" are soul-melting. I'm so glad this album was included on the list.

kd lang's masterful voice suits this material so well. I really like the arrangements too (the shimmery guitars in So It Shall Be!). This album has been a long standing favorite, and easily earns five stars.

Great voice but this was pretty forgettable

a beautiful cabaret flavored folk and jazz album that showcases a soothing and rich tapestry of music. Really quite enjoyable to listen to, and it's clear to me why k.d. lang is so well known in Canada.

Really enjoyable album. She has an amazing voice.

kar sm poslusla taku chill, dobru, ma preuc chill zame

Really lovely

Some nice twangy touches and soaring lapsteels parts dress up a slow set of songs. Some samba, some accordion, some noir, some warm relaxing moments, some schmaltzy annoying bits. Favorite: save me

Not bad

d.n.f

Like if Sade wasn't as good

She has a good voice but the music itself is perfectly bland and forgettable.

It took me a couple of tracks to warm up to this, but by track 3 I was a believer. Her voice is sooooooooo good.

pleasant music

Good for what it is. Not my cup of tea. I listened to some Slayer instead.

Solid album. Enjoyable background music.

In the words of a certain masked Batman villain: "That's a lovely, lovely voice." Alas, the songwriting felt pretty middle-of-the-road for me. Hovering between a 3 and 4 out of 5, depending on my mood for any given day.

Standouts Constant Craving

It’s quite nice. Nothing spectacular though

Recognized several songs and enjoying listening to the entire album. Will add to the want list!

What a pleasant surprise. This is a very mature-sounding and tasteful album. She has a great voice, and the grooves seemed pretty Latin-inspired to me. I'm positive if I listened to this a couple of times, I would completely love it.

A great voice & enjoyable listen.

Not for me.

Very lounge feel

Still Thrives This Love sounds like a Bond movie theme song. Very chill and inoffensive music. It's not gonna pump you up but maybe if I were just trying to relax in the tub or something?

Constant Craving was a fav in my house growing up, but I'm surprised to hear how twangy some of the other songs on the album are. Still easy to listen to.

Fav: Miss Chatelaine Least Fav: Tears Of Love’s Recall Miss Chatelaine and Season Of Hollow Soul put me in a good mood, I just wish that more of the songs had that vibe but I still like that chill vibe

Interesting stuff I have never heard before.

Bien, me gustó. Me pareció una especie de Alison Krauss pero sin el country. Tiene dos o tres canciones bastante disfrutables y el resto del disco no está mal. No me volvería fan, pero sí volvería a escucharlo.

🎧Not loving the “cabaret flavor” on display here. Chill background music though.

Nice & easy listen, unremarkable imo.

This left me cold. Beautiful, soulful voice. But not something I feel inspired for a second listen.

Why have I been sleeping on her music? So good. Rich, lush voice.

Very bland. I debated one star, but it's not offensive, just boring

Dosadnooo.

Sin más. Constant craving muy buena.

Oh my God that was awful.

Much better than the previous K.D. Lang album we had (Shadowland). This was not a country album like that, but felt more "french", for lack of better words (or cabaret, as Wikipedia describes it). K.D's voice lends itself great for this type of music, and it all feels very tasteful. 'Miss Chatelaine' was without a doubt my favourite song of the album. Very playful and nice to listen to. 'Wash Me Clean' sounds incredible and is a true reference for HiFi environments. The album overall was perhaps not extremely exciting at all times, but I found it overall a bit different from the usual albums on this list, and had enjoyed hearing the record. Right in the middle for me!

Enjoyed this more than the last K.D Lang album we had. The country tones were turned down a bit which felt less like a wannabe country record and more like a record with some country influences. Otherwise, I have the same criticism as last time, everything just feels a bit too nice and too safe. You will not offend anyone by putting this on, which means it also can’t reach the highest heights. A collection of “nice” songs and at the end “Constant Craving” is really a step above the rest and the first truly memorable song on the record. She sure can sing.

Kd does not need 2 albums on this list. Kind of boring but fine. Some decent stuff at the end. Light 3.

Definitely a great voice. That said, this is a little to mellow for me.

I’m sorry to say it but this felt like background music in a CVS. Pretty boring to me.

Not my thing, but I wasn't offended by it. 'Constant Craving' is a banger and shows her talent. The album was pleasant for a car ride to work.

Starting off Save Me arrives with a whimper and lyrically it's the kind of song that wants to be important and loved by everyone but K.d. Lang's voice grows irritating to me sounds whiny. It's a boring album that soccer moms and Karens listen to too make themselves seem cool but the album just plods along without offering anything to the listener but frustration for wasting their time on this crap. I couldn't even finish the damn album. Constant Craving is an awful song. It's the kind of crap you'd hear in Pottery Barn when it's full of people and you can't find a way out.

Easy listen but still a two. But more like a 2.5.

Quite good. Like the sound, the songs, the singing.

I am surprised how much I like this. Searching for the artist and seeing "Canadian Pop and Country" was worrying as someone who doesn't like a lot of the popular country I hear in passing. But this album was very smooth and a solid work, with rhythms I am unaccustomed to hearing in a country setting (but perhaps I neglected the pop pillar too much). All in all, good album

1. zave - 1.5 2. love - 1.5 3. mizz - 1.5 4. clean - 2 5. be - 1.5 6. ztill - 2 7. zoul - 1.5 8. outzide - 1.5 9. tearz - 1.5 10. craving - 2

I liked the instrumentals but found the overall concept to be a bit too close to country for my taste

Fun pseudo folk country. With some familiar songs.

Not my vibe but damn good production and vocals. Phenomenal

Pleasant vocals, good writing, dark tones, but ultimately not something I can relate to or vibe with. Pinnacle of divorced wine mom music, but I can appreciate how well done it is.

This album has the music of an album where you're supposed to pay more attention to the lyrics, and the lyrics of an album where you're supposed to focus on the music Sounds like mostly very normal 90s adult contemporary, I can't really find much any appeal that would constitute it being on this list, it's fine, it's allowed to exist, just not sure how it took off enough to be here Constant Cravings is relatively pleasant, the rest of the album is alright to listen to, I just don't seem to get it This rating for this album right near the start of Pride Month feels like it kind of puts me in an awkward light but we're cool, just throw Twin Fantasy into the user album submissions and I'll redeem myself in a couple years

I enjoyed this, and this is one I don't think I'd have gotten around to listening to this.

3/4

Fine soft pop with a couple of good tracks. Not my regular taste but that's the point of this.

The singing is very impressive and the instrumentals are also very good. The songs are unmemorable and a bit naff.

For adult contemporary singer/songwriter music, this was actually a pretty good album. It has a more minimalistic and refined approach, with gentle guitar work, subtle keyboards, and some orchestral arrangements that gives it a sophisticated chamber pop vibe.

More like k.d. bland, amirite? Better than Shadowland.

Is it a boring album? Sure. Is the most boring album on this list? No - but mainly because her debut album, Shadowland, also appears on here.

First time hearing this album. I LOVED track 2. Actually, as I'm listening, it's all great. Super mellow, great songwriting, good singing, pretty harmonies. Oh, this is the Constant Craving album, lol. I had no idea. Wonderful album start to finish. So It Shall Be is another one I enjoyed. I'll give this a 4.

This was a pleasant little surprise, given that the only song I know from her is "Constant Craving." I like that song well enough, but the album as a whole was much more in the "old-fashioned chanteuse" style than I could have anticipated from that song. She's got a really pretty, smooth voice that serves that retro style well. My favorite new-to-me song here is probably "Miss Chatelaine;" I love the vintage whimsy of it.

Listening to K.D. Lang sing, you forget how much of an ingénue she truly is. She helped kick off the wave of female singer/songwriters of the 1990s. 4/5

K.D actually stands for Kenneth Drusilla. She was named after myself, Kenneth Chutney. Very proud of that. 3.1 8. OUTSIDE MYSELF

Soothing voice. I liked the music. Very nice.

> looking for a new singer/songwriter > ask if vocals are haunting or breathy > they don’t understand > pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is haunting and what is breathy > they laugh and say “it’s a good album sir” > listen > it’s breathy

good but i'm not into it idk ?!

This seemed like a dead easy 1 star. First four songs were so unbelievably bland, it was boring me to tears. Then somehow in the middle of it all I had to pause and appreciate So It Shall Be and Still Thrives This Love. Two tracks emerged from the desert that caught my attention, had some lovely passages of melody and really interesting instrumental fills. Uh oh. Have I been too hasty? Is k.d. lang secretly incredible? I should give this album a proper chance at redemption. OK, did that and never mind, I guess sometimes really boring albums just have a couple of great songs on them.

Decent if slightly forgettable, still thrives this love was a personal Favourite

A very pleasant, easy-to-listen-to album. Miss Chatelaine was the clear standout for me. I don't think I'll be returning to this, but I still enjoyed what I heard.

HONESTLY A VIBE

I really hated this. Whiny and dull. A terrible combination.

(Fart noise)

Vocally, KD is undeniably great, but no songs excited me or put me in a mood worth remembering.

I enjoyed this very much as chill background music, and it segued nicely into some easy listening jazzy/coffeehouse music. I wouldn't seek this out specifically within the genre, but I enjoyed it

This is pretty bland stuff. Can’t I’m going to have a “constant craving” for any of these songs.

I don't dislike this but what is there really to it? Don't really have any opinions about it at all. It's nice...but definitely not a 1001 albums you need to listen to before you die.

Oh, more k.d.lang. Apparently if you're worth including at all, you're worth including twice - so many repeat entrants on this list. At least this album is all originals, unlike Shadowland. And while I found the first few tracks pretty ordinary, I enjoyed So It Shall Be and felt the quality picked up from that point on.

Entre las grandes voces femeninas, seguramente destaca y no debería faltar. Escuché con placer la música perfectamente pensada para acoger ese nivel vocal. Muy refrescante

"Constant Craving" stands far out of the rest of the album for me. 2,5

I only enjoyed one song- constant craving ⭐️⭐️

mid

She has such a great voice, but I don't like her music. The song titles and lyrics are so pretentious and the melodies are boring. Still, great voice.

This was interesting. Not sure what I was expecting but this wasn't really it. This was pretty easy listening actually. Had no idea she was Canadian or anything. I've only ever really heard her referred to as a lesbian and nothing else about her actual talent.

Very nice, but the only track I really get into on this album is Constant Craving. Still, there is no doubting the quality of this artist's voice, so the album is getting four stars from me.

Just harmless singer songwriter music with little that's special about it, let alone 1001 list worthy. 6/10

reminds me of pretty little liars. ive never seen pretty little liars

Gentle and moody - the alternate country in this normally doesn't call out to me - but I actually liked this record - it's well balanced - with some good stand out songs, and having it's own sound. Plus it actually has a sense of humour at times, and K.D. Lang's voice is gorgeous.

Again, just fine. Nice voice, "Constant Craving" is the best song. I was reminded of Lyle Lovett while listening to this.

Very solid album, I would definitely recommend this. It does have a Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett feel, mixed with a little bit of country, a little bit of jazz, very chill dinner music if that makes sense. I thought it was fantastic, I hope to find a more modern version of this type of music as well, if there’s anyone putting out the stuff today. Five stars.

First couple songs are really good, kind of meh on the rest. Good songs, but nothing super memorable.

She was deeply in the throes of a crush when she wrote this - it's soft and the words are longing and eager

Listened to on 5/6/25 3/5 Favorite song: Miss Chatelaine, Outside Myself Chill vibing music. Very NYC coffee shop on rainy day in the fall with a cappuccino. I’m not convinced the songs were that different from one another

Album is a bit of a beating to listen to with how ballad-y the whole thing is, but K.D. Lang does have a great voice. There’s some interesting inclusions of different genres in her music but a lot of the songs kind of just ran together. If I had to pick a favorite track, I’d go with Outside Myself.

This is like seductive cowboy music with a Broadway like twist. I feel like this could be the soundtrack to a musical for sure, like major Chicago vibes. I also feel like she could have inspired Shania Twain. Undeniably amazing vocal performance though! Favorite song: Miss Chatelain Season of Hollow Soul

It's a beautiful album - enjoyed listening to it a few times

Removed from the context of its release, Ingénue is kind of a weird collection if your entry point is “Constant Craving.” Had this lounge-y style had been tilted just a bit more in the kitsch direction, I could see it being a David Lynch co-production, but it retains a sincerity and conventional aim that keeps it from being that kind of interesting. But lang’s a Canadian through and through and my current countrymen aren’t big on irony. Speaking of, she’s a real deal national hero here treasured maybe as the Celine of the Prairies. The hit still hits, but what’s up with the accordion? Is it a signal to a kind of French pop or continental ennui to match the melody’s melancholy? Was it kicking around western Canada and the Pacific NW in general in the late 1980s (thinking of the Northern Exposure theme). The basics of “Constant Craving” carry on elsewhere, sometimes blatantly: once by a fellow Canuck with Sarah McLachlan’s superlative “Sweet Surender” which captures the general vibe, Somerville’s Guster’s “Satellite” (with a more Mac arrangement), and then the wholesale (supposedly unintentional, no really, honest, it was just a mistake!) theft by the Stones, which they willfully credited to lang and her songwriting partner Ben Mink before getting sued. But I can see why, it’s a pitch perfect tune, matching lyrical sentiment and melody, with a vocal performance that ties it all up. The rest of the album...is made really well?

Il having listened to both K D Lang albums here I find myself with nothing more to say.

1st song sounds like restaurant playlist sounds like jeff buckley if he added kazoo idk how i feel about the second song oh I like this guitar I like the instrumentals on it but the vocals are a bit funky miss chateline is very musical theatre esque I think this whole album has theatrical elements is that an accordion? is this a jesus album still thrives this love is kind of like yeah I quite like it I actually really like season of hollow soul favourite I think the songs in this are either really hit or miss last song is alright

Sleek kind of vibe that reminds me of Sade. I really liked the album, but didn’t have time to finish it because we were at Syd Symphony. So 3/5 but will probably be promoted to 4/5 upon second listen.

i have never heard this album before. why is it so good. 5/5

an interesting listening experience. very smooth. i thought the instrumentation was good. My favs were Miss Chatelaine and Constant Craving, which i now realise are the most popular tracks. I'm not super into this vibe as it reminds me too much of my church days lol but there are a couple tracks i'd listen to again.

Great singer. Nothing stood out for me though.

The best thing to come out of this album is the 1993 Vanity Fair photoshoot with Cindy Crawford. The second best thing is Miss Chatelaine.

Somewhere between torch songs, singer songwriter, and a hint of country, with lang’s incredible voice backing things up. Somehow this is perfection, though it didn’t ring true right away. A perfect album, and one I need to own posthaste.

friendly. feel like my mom is a fan

Bland.

I really enjoyed this. I love how lang weaves different storylines together. It's an atmospheric album, played out in a very understated manner. Classy, lush throughout.

It was OK. 2/5

Second KD Lang on this list, probably one too many, and I feel exactly the same. Immaculately sung, played and arranged. Leaves me completely cold. 2.5 but as nothing going on for me, it's a 2.

Like the chill vibes it gives

I enjoy her voice but I found this album to be kind of boring. This felt very similar to the last album I had from k.d. lang, except she was new to me last time and I found it more interesting. Maybe I wasn’t in the mood. Overall I don’t think it’s really my thing anyway, so a 2 it is.

This album shows flashes of adventurousness, but for the most part plays it safe. Most of the songs (such as "Save Me", "Outside Myself" and even lead single "Constant Craving") take very few risks and come across and tame and predictable. There a few exceptions: "Season Of Hollow Soul" is a bright spot, in which lang's voice is more expressive than on the other tracks and the songwriting is more dramatic. "Miss Chatelaine" and "So It Shall Be" are also a cut above the rest. On the whole, lang's voice is *technically* good, but her style takes a cautious middle path - it lacks any kind of much-needed grit on one hand, and on the other hand it is so stylistically limited that it sounds generic at times. (At least she sings the songs straight and doesn't overdo it.) The arrangements on this album are tasteful but rarely get interesting. It's well-played by talented musicians but along the way there are the occasional sparks that demonstrate that it could have been so much more.

Very pleasant record, albeit one-note at times, especially in its first half. But never to the point where it turned me off of the record itself. The production is constantly lush and varied, jumping between the baroque and jazz elements I'd expect out of a singer-songwriter record in the early '90s to mostly great results, with my favorite moment being that grand build on 'Season of Hollow Soul'. The vocals also nicely balance these elements of country-rock and vocal-jazz (especially on 'Still Thrives This Love'). I also really enjoyed the writing here, especially on the song 'Outside Myself', which may be the best song here and an emotional powerhouse in the realm of introspective writing. The closer 'Constant Craving' was also one of the more easily enjoyable cuts here, with K.D. delivering this insanely catchy vocal melody. I'll also mention 'Season of Hollow Soul' again, it's a really well-written song. A lot of talent on display here, especially coming out of K.D Lang herself. Canada represent.

I am not the target audience for this and k. d. lang’s sound isn’t really my thing. However - there are moments of beauty in an album full of queer love songs.

Listened during a river walk with jj, real nice and chill for a sunny day.

Quite literally listening to paint dry

Just ok for me

I can see why Constant Craving was a hit, but a album full of less interesting variations really does nothing for me, I'm afraid. I gave it a chance, but it's just too middle-of-the-road for me...

Just beautiful!

Surprised by how much I liked this

Sounds bland and canned.

pior q é legal

possivelmente nunca escutarei novamente, mas num foi ruim de ouvir nao!!

Fantastic voice with a lot of presence. Some really interest backing instrumentals that shape the songs into genre bending ballads. 8/10

she was pregnant with chappell roan when she made this record

I‘m not entirely sure what’s considered to be so special about this album that it would be included in the list. What am I missing? It is a nice pop record about love. But it sounds generic to me. Like I’ve heard this sound 100 times before. Maybe this speaks to its influence but I really don’t know. It was nice but nothing I would choose to listen to again.

I always hated Constant Craving. This was more of the same. I’m going to be generous and give it a 2 though because she does have a nice voice.
