    k.d. lang spoke with Laura Veirs about her groundbreaking album Ingénue , celebrating its 25th anniversary, for NPR Music's All Songs Considered. "Back in 1992, singer k.d. lang released a record unlike any other," says NPR's Robin Hilton. "Ingénue slithered against the popular music grain with songs that drew slow, deep breaths and sighed seductively ... And lang's monumental voice, both powerful and restrained, was simply unforgettable as she sang languorous songs of love and desire." You can hear lang and Veirs' conversation here.
