"The Annie Lennox Collection"

The Scottish Diva to release her first compilation on 17 February 2009.

Other than her 1999 outing with the Eurythmics for "Peace" and a few appearances for "Ultimate Collection" (2005), Annie Lennox (25 Dec 1954) has concentrated on her solo career for the past eighteen years. Largely considered the greatest white soul singer, she is perhaps the most successful British female in the music industry. To the diehard Eurythmics fans, you may be disappointed to know that none of the songs on this collection come from those years. The songs on the collection will be drawn from “Diva” (1992), “Medusa” (1995 - one of the greatest cover albums of all times), “Bare" (2003), and “Song of Mass Destruction" (2007). She will include two new songs. The first is “Pattern of My Life” written by Tom Chaplin of Keane. The second “Shining Light,” originally recorded by Ash.

The album will be a first for her - it will be released by Sony. Did anyone really think that her shady ending with BMG/Arista was going to keep her from releasing new music?
