Ingénue is the second solo album by Canadian singer k.d. lang, released in 1992. It is Lang’s most successful album on the pop charts, both in her native Canada and internationally.
From songfacts: This single was the follow-up to the hit “Constant Craving” and it’s chiefly remembered for its video, which was, along with its romantic lyrics, a satire of the long-running Lawrence Welk Show. Lang parodied her own androgynous image by appearing in a yellow ball gown with fringe and daisies in her hair while singing about falling in love amid violin music and bubbles floating on the set. Her fans were very amused and she continues to get requests for this song when she performs.(you can find it out on youtube)
“Chatelaine” is borrowed from the Canadian women’s magazine of the same name. The publication once chose Lang – a native of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada – as Woman of the Year.
I have lived just for this
I can’t explain why I’ve become
Miss Chatelaine
Hold me captive just a while
I can’t explain why I’ve become
Miss Chatelaine
Clouds of qualm
Burst into sunshine
Words my love just reply
I can’t explain why I’ve become

Just a kiss just a kiss
I have lived just for this

I really liked those first few k.d. Lang albums back in the late 80s-early 90’s- what a voice- then she seemed to kind of disappear…

I’ve got Ingenue and one called Smoke, where she sings a bunch of songs about smoking (weird concept, eh?). Have listened the grooves off of Ingenue but Smoke not so much. Yes, you don’t hear much about her these days…

She seemed to be all over the place 25 years ago…odd how she kind of disappeared. The last album of her’s I had was the Smoke album.

Been a long time since I’ve heard her…this song sounds like it belonged in a different era.

All of the songs are lush like that on this CD. The video with the bubbles is funny, as you rarely see her looking feminine, and she’s all dolled up in it.
