k.d. lang's upcoming retrospective anthology -- Recollection, arriving February 2 -- fortunately will not be just your run-of-the-mill collection of various hits and assorted album tracks. This 2-CD set (and 3-CD, 1-DVD box set) will feature the expected songs such as "Constant Craving", "Smoke Rings" and her definitive version the Leonard Cohen standard "Hallelujah" (video after the jump) culled from her 25 years of recordings leading up to '08's fine Watershed album. But it will also pull together tracks that lang has recorded over the years as duets and one-offs for soundtracks but which have never before appeared on a one of her own studio albums. There will also be a previously unreleased version of "Hallelujah".

Disc One - Primarily a "best of" 11-track collection from her studio albums. Disc Two - Eleven tracks culled from her many soundtrack projects and tribute albums. Disc Three (from the box set) - Eleven rarities including eight tracks recorded live at KCRW. Disc Four (from the box set)- Eleven music videos, two of which were recorded live in 2005 at the Juno awards.
