I just read this on Annie Lennox's official forum. I'm not sure if this is just a rumor, but I would ADORE a new Eurythmics album!

Stewart inks BMG Publishing deal
18 August 2005 - 16:13:06


Dave Stewart has inked a new deal with BMG Music Publishing ahead of new music from Eurythmics expected later this year.

Stewart, who first signed to BMG with his Eurythmic colleague Annie Lennox in 1982, has signed what the publisher describes as a new “long-term” music publishing agreement.

Stewart, whose writing outside Eurythmics includes songs for artists including Anastasia, Shakira, Gwen Stefani and t.A.T.u., is presently working with Lennox on new songs with releases planned for later in 2005. He is also completing an album with new act Platinum Weird through a joint venture label he runs through Jimmy Iovine’s Interscope label.

BMG Music Publishing group managing director Paul Curran says, “The word unique is over-used, but in Dave’s case it is entirely appropriate. I am delighted to have renewed our deal with Dave and look forward to continuing to represent him.”

Oh God this would make me so happy...

wow.... jaw drops.....

YAY!!

I guess this is good news. But I can never trust any Eurythmics/Annie Lennox news anymore. Just earlier this year, Annie was talking about not wanting to take a long break between albums and getting right back in the studio to do a new solo album. Shortly after the Peace promotion died down, there was talk of another Eurythmics album in the works that was more electronically based. And then there are the remasters. I mean, I'll be glad when something comes out. But I'll believe it when I see it. And in all honesty, at this point in her career, I think she's better off on her own.

well said... sadly. but i will believe it when it happens.

JonSnow said:

All bitching aside, I was thrilled to finally see her live a few years back. Those shows right before "Bare" came out were thrilling.

GangstaFam said:

i am STILL kicking myself for skipping the D.C. show, because tickets were so high. She came to the Warner Theater, where I saw Tori this spring. The whole time i was there, I kept thinking: why did I skip Annie????

ugh. Regrets!

JonSnow said:

Have you seen her live before? If not, I'm kicking you too!

GangstaFam said:

NO!!!!! that's the worst part. But tickets were so pricey, and that was at a time when i was totally broke. Why can't she come NOW, lol.

JonSnow said:

That's strange. They were so reasonable when I went. I don't think they were more than $50. Same with the Toronto show.

:kick:

GangstaFam said:

I think I remember the cheapest at the Warner were $60, but i don't think i heard about it in time to get those, they were all gone. i think there were some $80 tix left... still, it would have been so worth it.

JonSnow said:

Bummer. And I'm sure seeing her open for Sting wouldn't have made it any better. I completely skipped that cuz it just seemed wrong.

GangstaFam said:

exactly. i was out of town during that show, but i wouldn't have gone to see her as an opener.

JonSnow said:

My brother went to the Sting/Annie show with some friends, one of them who went because he was a big Sting fan. He knew very little about her. But he said by the end of the night, it felt that she was the reason he went. Maybe they should have alternated headlining.

So I guess this news trumps the rumoured hits CD of Annie's?

VinnyM27 said:

Oh hell yeah. A new Eurythmics album would be the best!

A new Eurythmics album would be hot...IF they did an 80s throwback tongue-in-cheek, electronica record.

I like Peace but damn...it was somber and nothing inventive like their old shit.

I dont think a new record from her would be all that...I don't want Bare II. If it was Medusa II, I'd take it.

Sounds good to me. It had better be good.

The singles on "Peace" where nice,,,,and then night, night cause you feel asleep. I was honestly hoping for new Annie or a hits set (but especially if it includes her deut with Al Green.

badujunkie said:

Give me Bare over Medusa ANY day!

Moonbeam said:

I loved "Bare"!

Moonbeam said:

I respectfully disagree. I'm afraid their best days as a group are over.

This sounds like good news. But I too have to echo Gangsta on a few points...

I too don't trust anything that gets said. Bring out the reissues that were supposed to come out several times and yet have still been shelved...then we'll talk.

And Peace, I thought was simply ok. Like the New order album Get Ready...it sorta left me bland. Not to mention We too are one wasn't the greatest IMO. SO maybe their best days are behind them as a group.

Now my thing is I love her voice...yet aside from a few songs I have never liked her solo stuff that much. Too... I dunno mainstream for me. Nice songs and all...but not my cup of tea. That's fine for me. Though every time I go through a Eurythmics phase, I keep thinking that if they worked together or if He produced her album, I'd like the music more than I do her solo stuff.

I guess it's best to wait and see.

GangstaFam said:

What do you know?

Moonbeam said:

That Savage was the last great album they made and that was almost 20 years ago.

I love Annie. I'll take either a Eurythmics or solo CD!

GangstaFam said:

I do love "We Too Are One"!
