ANNIE LENNOX

One of the finest musical voices of the age, Annie Lennox is celebrated as an innovator, an iconoclast, and a symbol of enduring excellence within a culture too often fixated on the lightweight and the new. Her songs, both with Eurythmics and alone, are part of the soundtrack to our collective lives. They have touched listeners as only the work of the most gifted and intuitive artists can, articulating the emotions that each one of us feels, and turning the highliy specific into an expression of the universal.

She had her first brush with chart success as one of The Tourists in 1979; worldwide success then followed as one half of Eurythmics, who dominated the 80s music scene.

Eurythmics catalogue of eight albums spanned the 80s and 90s. They collected the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award at the Brits in 1999, from none other than Stevie Wonder, in honour of their 50 million album sales worldwide.

Annie released her debut solo album Diva in 1992. The album debuted at number one in the UK charts, selling over 1.2 million copies, and included the top 10 singles Why, Walking On Broken Glass and Little Bird.

In 1995 Annie released Medusa, an album of careful reinterpretations of some of her favourite songs. The album again debuted at number one, and included the massive single No More I Love You's.

Annie released her third solo album, Bare, in June 2003, which earned her a career best position of number 4 on the US Billboard Charts, one the few UK acts to break into the US market that year, and has gone on to sell nearly 2 million copies worldwide.

Annie has been nominated for countless awards throughout her career, including several Grammies, seven Brit Awards, Ivor Novello Awards and the prestigious Billboard Century Award for 2002.

In spring of 2004 she received a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar for the song Into The West from the final part of the trilogy of the film version of Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King.

2007 sees the release of her highly anticipated fourth solo album 'Songs Of Mass Destruction' about which she comments "I feel closer to my own cutting edge now, than ever before.".
