SONGS OF MASS DESTRUCTION: the new album from ANNIE LENNOX...info inside Multi-million selling, iconic artist Annie Lennox will release her fourth solo album, "Songs Of Mass Destruction," on October 2nd, 2007 through Arista Records.
The album was recorded in London, Los Angeles and Miami with veteran producer Glen Ballard. "Songs Of Mass Destruction" showcases an artist who is unafraid of pushing boundaries and challenging herself. Annie delivers thought provoking and intelligent lyrics matched with her distinctive pop sound. She says that this album is the closest she's been so far to that authentically raw and emotional place, infused with the contrasts of beauty, yearning and sadness. The result, from the haunting introductory song, "Dark Road" to the closing epic, "Fingernail Moon", is a sumptuous musical soundscape within which Annie's soulful voice shines and soars. In addition to being an incredibly successful artist, Annie is a celebrated activist and humanitarian. The new album features the soaring and powerful feminist anthem "Sing", born out of Annie's involvement with Nelson Mandela's 46664 and Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) - organizations fighting for human rights, education and health care for those affected by the HIV AIDS virus. The track "Sing" features 23 of the most recognized and successful female solo artists in the world, invited by Annie, to raise awareness and finances for TAC initiatives. Included among the group are superstars such as Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Celine Dion, Fergie, Faith Hill, Pink, Dido, Gladys Knight, kd Lang, Angelique Kidjo, Bonnie Raitt, Shakira, Melissa Etheridge, Anastasia, Joss Stone, KT Tunstall and many others, as well as TAC activist members own vocal group known as "The Genetics", whose CD of music inspired Annie to make "Sing" a reality.

Good it's not an album of duets as previously reported You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna
authentic power is service- Pope Francis | |

It looks very familiar to the emcee outfit from the Little Bird video from Diva. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

I've never really got into Annie Lennox or Eurythmics, but she clearly gets a lot of love - can someone recommend a place to start? | |

Her first solo album Diva from 1992 is a really great record - probably her best up to this point!
I highly recommend it to everyone who loves (quality) 'pop' music with LOADS of soul and honesty!
Every track is amazing - no fillers - and it includes her greatest solo hit Why! | |
