In celebration of Pride Month, Nonesuch Records is releasing k.d. lang's makeover—a new collection of classic dance remixes of some of her best-loved songs—on May 28.
The album brings these remixes, made between 1992 and 2000, together for the first time; the songs include "Sexuality," "Miss Chatelaine," "Theme from the Valley of the Dolls," "Summerfling," and the #1 dance chart hits "Lifted By Love" and "If I Were You."
makeover's cover art features a previously unseen 1995 portrait of lang by David LaChapelle.
The album is available to pre-order on all formats, including transparent turquoise vinyl, at smarturl.it/makeover. Nonesuch Store pre-orders include an instant download of "Miss Chatelaine (St. Tropez Mix)," the video for which can be seen; an exclusive, limited-edition print of the album cover signed by lang; and a paper doll PDF set, designed by a fan—Katja Virtanen, of Finland—to print out at home, featuring iconic looks from throughout her career.
In a statement, lang said, "I had the idea of putting together a dance-remix compilation, as I mused about how we built community in those days before the internet, mobile devices, and dating apps. Those dance clubs were a key to a world, which was still called 'underground' in the '90s."
Most recently, Nonesuch released Ingenue: 25th Anniversary Edition in 2017. The album contains lang's multi-platinum, Grammy—winning original album as well as the previously unreleased 1993 MTV Unplugged performances. |
