Details: Canadian singer Laurel MacDonald is the queen of the crossover. Having successfully produced a superb album for Nova Scotian folk singer Mary Jane Lamond, she here stakes her own performing career on a high-tech reinterpretation of the work she did for McDonald. This six-song EP is a reworking of one song, "Wing and a Prayer," from her 1999 solo album Chroma, in cooperation with world-music remixers Transglobal Underground, West Coast DJs Mo Funk, "plunderphonics" master John Oswald, dub maker Bill Laswell, and producer Richard Horowitz. Most of these tracks only vary in small ways from the original song, but each has unique sounds that outline MacDonald's voice in ways that make you think folk diva one minute, Laurie Andersen the next. The voice is potent, and the studio manipulations are so subtle, unique, and always in synch with the voice that it works on every track. --Louis Gibson
