Legacy

Annie Lennox is a Scottish singer, songwriter, political activist and philanthropist. She was born on December 25, 1954 in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK. Lennox achieved moderate success in the late 1970s as part of the new wave band The Tourists before finding major international success in the 1980s as one half of Eurythmics with David A. Stewart. In 1992, she embarked on a successful solo career.
Lennox's contributions to music have been recognized with numerous accolades. In 2011, she was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire and in 2015 became a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors - the first female to receive this honor at the Ivor Novello Awards. Additionally, Lennox and Dave Stewart were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2020 and enshrined into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as Eurythmics in November 2022.

Back In Stock

Vinyl reissue of Annie’s debut solo album, originally released in 1992. Available here on 140 Gram Vinyl.

Although traces of her synthpop roots certainly showed through, Annie Lennox's solo debut, Diva, made it abundantly clear that her new material would veer away from gender-bending robotics of the early Eurythmics sound and continue towards the more emotionally grounded soul of later releases. On Diva, Lennox infuses each song with tenderly perceptive lyrics, hypnotic rhythms, and irresistibly soulful wailings. Her arrangements are clean and simple, utilising bare instrumentation and sometimes-languid chord work. The singles Walking on Broken Glass, Little Bird, and Why became radio mainstays, while gems such as the Eastern-influenced dream ballad Primitive, the hauntingly autobiographical pop-lament Legend in My Living Room, and the cheerfully satirical Keep Young and Beautiful gave the album a plump maturity.
