Today, the Nonesuch Journal launches a weeklong series of video interviews with k.d. lang, in which the singer, songwriter, and now producer discusses her forthcoming Nonesuch release, Watershed. The album will be available in the Nonesuch Store on February 5, and each weekday until then, we'll have a new webisode from the interview, with song clips off the record.
In this initial episode, k.d. refers to Watershed as the culmination of favorite sounds and musical styles from throughout her career. She acknowledges the music teacher who first encouraged her to sing and reveals some very different career plans her mother once had for her. Featured on this episode is the song "Shadow and the Frame" from Watershed.
Check back tomorrow for episode two, "A Musical Nomad."
