k.d. lang and the Siss Boom Bang will perform "I Confess" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight. The song is the lead single from Sing it Loud, due out tomorrow on Nonesuch Records. To celebrate its release, lang and her new band will play the album in its entirety tonight at Los Angeles's Troubadour and at (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York City this Thursday, April 14. They'll appear on Good Morning America on Thursday and The View this Friday morning, April 15. To pick up a copy of Sing it Loud, head to the Nonesuch Store now.

USA Today's Elysa Gardner says the new album "nods to lang's alt-country roots while reinforcing her reputation as a singer of genre-defying dexterity and beauty." The Toronto Sun says the album "marries rich countripolitan sophistication to earthy Memphis soul to create lang's warmest and most welcoming work in many a year." In a four-star review, the New York Daily News called Sing it Loud "a culmination, threading some of lang's old fire through her current calm" and noted that album opener "I Confess" "sounds strikingly like something ripped from Roy Orbison's back pages, a pop aria rippling with echo, bolero drums and a vocal that ricochets around the speakers." Check out the video for "I Confess," directed by Aaron Brown, here, via the k.d. lang YouTube channel:


Released in Australia last week, Sing it Loud was named "Album of the Week" by Sydney's Daily Telegraph, which hailed it as "back-to-basics lang recorded as a band, mostly in one take, just like the old days: raw and immediate." The West Australian called it a "damn near perfect album ... One of the best just got better."

Sing it Loud is lang's first studio album since 2008's Watershed, which debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, and her first record made entirely with a band of her own since her early albums with the Reclines. She and the Siss Boom Bang-comprising Joe Pisapia (a multi-instrumentalist who co-produced the album with lang and serves as musical director), Daniel Clarke (keyboards), Fred Eltringham (drums/percussion), Joshua Grange (baritone guitar, dobro), and Lex Price (bass)-recorded it at Pisapia's Middletree Studios in Nashville and the chemistry between them was instantaneous.

"The second the band walked in, the energy was palpable," lang recalls. "Sing it Loud is actually probably the pinnacle of my creative life because it happened so fast, so naturally, and with so much joy." 

lang and the Siss Boom Bang will play the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA on May 1 and kick off an extensive North American tour in June, following a UK tour; lang and the band return to Australia to tour in November.
