Singer-songwriter KD Lang on music and being a queer pioneer

Culture Correspondent

The singer KD Lang’s landmark album ‘Ingénue’ subverted traditional conservative country music and catapulted the star into an icon 27 years ago.

Not just a musical icon though.

During the promotion of that album she came out as gay, and many radio stations stopped playing her music.

But she still went on to win a Grammy and the album went multi-platinum.

Now she’s on tour celebrating that seminal album.
