"You can quickly run out of adjectives to describe k.d. lang," writes the Adelaide Advertiser, "powerful, soulful, sensual, lush, velvet, joyous---and that's just her voice." In a four-star review of k.d.'s show in Adelaide last Saturday, the Advertiser says, "Quite frankly, Ms. lang could sing the classifieds section and it would sound beautiful." The Brisbane Courier Mail calls Watershed "her best album of original material in years" and found k.d. "in sensational form" at her recent concert there.

"You can quickly run out of adjectives to describe k.d. lang," writes the Adelaide Advertiser's Lesley High, "powerful, soulful, sensual, lush, velvet, joyous---and that's just her voice." In a four-star review of k.d.'s show at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre last Saturday, High says, "Quite frankly, Ms. lang could sing the classifieds section and it would sound beautiful." To read the review, visit news.com.au/adelaidenow.

All the better, on her worldwide tour in support of her new album, Watershed, k.d.'s singing a good deal beyond the classifieds. The Courier Mail's Noel Mengel, in his review of the first of k.d.'s two shows last night at the Brisbane QPAC Concert Hall, calls Watershed "her best album of original material in years." He says k.d. "was in sensational form" and that her "command of songs about love's joys and bruises remains as convincing as ever." You'll find that review at news.com.au/couriermail.

Reviewing the show in the Sunshine Coast Daily, also out of Brisbane, Lisa Kither, reports that "the woman whose voice often brings goosebumps" didn't disappoint this time around. "Backed by an incredible five-piece band," Kither writes, "k.d. lang knows how to deliver a brilliant concert." The full review is at thedaily.com.au.

k.d. and her band continue their Australian tour tonight with a second show at the QPAC Concert Hall in Brisbane before returning to Sydney to play the State Theatre on Friday and a just-added second show on Saturday.
