k.d. lang has dropped a new mix of ‘Miss Chatelaine’ with Canadian country musician Orville Peck.
The mysterious Peck has never shown his face in public. The name is a pseudonym. He is believed to be Daniel Pitour, a Canadian drummer from punk band Nü Sensae but that is unconfirmed.
As Peck, he released the album ‘Pony’ in 2019. “I’ve always been such a huge fan of k.d.’s,” says Peck. “Not only is she a queer icon but an incredible musician who blazed a lot of trails. I was so honored when she asked me to remix the song, and couldn’t wait to put my own spin on it.”
lang explains, “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.” Working on the album got lang wondering how today’s top new artists and producers would interpret her music. She reached out to Peck and says his remix of her Grammy-nominated hit from 1992 “marries his music with my own beautifully. Orville and I have a lot in common and similar perspectives, I was honored when he agreed to remix one of my songs. I wanted to give him total creative freedom to do whatever he wanted with it and now I’m thrilled with the end result.”
k.d. lang released her dance mix album ‘makeover’ in May 2021.
