| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | If Annie Lennox had only her time in Eurythmics to claim, she'd still be recognized as one of the greatest modern pop and soul singers. In addition however, she has enjoyed massive success as a solo artist. THE ANNIE LENNOX COLLECTION is the first compiled retrospective of this influential Scottish artist's solo hits. It features songs from DIVA, MEDUSA, BARE, SONGS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, even one from the BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA soundtrack ("Love Song for a Vampire"), along with two brand-new tracks. Even the most casual radio listener will recall "Walking on Broken Glass" and "No More I Love Yous," but the often more ambitious and angry songs from DESTRUCTION hold up just as well in contrast. | | October of 2008 already saw a Best of Annie Lennox hit the streets in Europe, and in early 2009 those of us Stateside get the Annie Lennox Collection, which boasts enough hit singles to keep the punters happy, as well as a few keen B-sides to make the late-coming collectors to Lennox's work pick this up as well. While ubiquitous hits such as "Walking on Broken Glass" and "Sing" are included here, it's great that the set's compilers thought to add non-full-length selections such as "Love Song for a Vampire" to this mix. Her stellar covers such as the reading of Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and the Freeman-Hughes standard "No More "I Love You's" are in the mix as well, making this a very well-rounded collection. ~ Thom Jurek |
