There's been talk since she toured with Lyle Lovett last summer, about new music from k.d. lang. The singer-songwriter hasn't released any new original material in almost a decade, and while the 11 songs on her upcoming album Watershed took many years to write and record, the music will be fresh when it hits the stores on February 5th (usa/worldwide), 28 january (europe) 9 feb (australia).

Watershed Tracklist:

"I Dream of Spring"
"Je Fais La Planche"
"Coming Home"
"Once in a While"
"Thread"
"Close Your Eyes"
"Sunday"
"Flame of the Uninspired"
"Upstream"
"Shadow and the Frame"
"Jealous Dog"


k.d. lang told Billboard:
"I think what was liberating is that it's really hard to translate your vision in audio to other people," she continues. "It gets interpreted in so many different ways. In some ways it can be enhancing, but [on 'Watershed'] there is sort of a convergence of all the different styles I have tackled and listened to. There's essence of country, there's essences of pop, there's essences of Brazillian."
She also described her recording methods as "mobile." She worked with Tony Bennett in NYC , recorded songs in her dining room and painting studio and other places that inspired her acoustically. She went on to tell Billboard:
"The Tony record was rehearsed in his living room, overlooking Central Park. And it was actually recorded live off a stage, in a theatre," she recalls. "It was very much play the song and record it. But it made me very focused on the performance and not any overdubbing."
