With SING IT LOUD, her first studio disc in three years, K.D. Lang is, in one sense, revisiting her roots. She's backed by a new, full-time band, Siss Boom Bang, that recalls, in spirit if not sound, the exhilarating work she created at the start of her career with her original band, the Reclines. With Siss Boom Bang, Lang has clearly discovered kindred spirits and, on SING IT LOUD, they help her deliver some of the most self-assured material of her career.
