This song could easily have been a slow, soulful, burning ballad, with Lennox pitching her pleas for relief to the heavens in the wake of a shattered relationship, with fists clenched and strings sweeping behind her like gale force winds. Instead, the singer and songwriter follows the path of her Motown inspirations, casting this song with an “Ain’...
Prior to recording Medusa, Lennox had considered retirement, but returned to the studio to play around with the idea of speaking her inner dialogue through the work of other writers. Through that lens, Paul Simon’s “Something So Right” feels like a shout-out to her husband, while “No More ‘I Love You’s” comes off as a last goodbye to lovers of the ...
On paper, this is pure treacle. A tune overrun with syrupy strings and horns, all pitched to maximum emotional effect as accompaniment for your slow walk out of a movie theater. But damn if it doesn’t send even the most cynical fantasy fan rushing for the tissue box. The song runs deep, aiming to soothe the troubled spirit facing the end of their d...
Possibly the most underrated album in the Eurythmics’ discography, the duo’s sixth full-length is marked by meaty, clattering production that sounded as if Dave Stewart had spent the previous year subsisting on a diet of the Art Of Noise albums. Lennox responded with some of her most daring lyrics to date, casting herself in a brazenly and alluring...
The first album that Lennox and Dave Stewart worked on outside the fold of the Tourists is the product of songwriters still finding their collective voice. They still hadn’t completely shed the guitar-heavy post-punk approach of their previous band even as they sprinkled a healthy amount of synthesizer pixie dust over much of it. In The Gardenis a ...
Like all good albums born of a relationship’s dissolution, Lennox’s third solo record, Bare, is splattered with all the shades of the emotional palette. She’s furious, regretful, rueful, and shattered in equal measure. On this highlight from the album, Lennox tempers her anger with a peppy R&B groove that feels as if it was borrowed from an En Vogu...
The second top-10 hit for Eurythmics is a marvel of arranging and performance. Surely, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe of Pet Shop Boys lamented that Stewart and Lennox beat them to the punch of matching up the trill of arpeggiated Moroder-like synths with Gainsbourg-like string parts. As well, the song feels like it is just one extended chorus, one su...
There was always a vein of ’60s R&B running underneath even the most synthesized of Eurythmics songs. You could imagine that with a sweet Wrecking Crew arrangement, “Here Comes The Rain Again” could have been a hit for the Supremes. On their fourth album, Stewart and Lennox decided to tap into that rich source material to help drive at least part o...
Although it is named after the Eurythmics’s eventual #1 U.S. single, the duo’s second album opens with a different mindset. The cold sweat of the title track was to come, but before they got there, Lennox and Stewart had seduction on the mind. 32 years later, this song, with its insistent Roland 606 beat and those feather synth trills, sounds as fr...
The world tends to cast a slightly suspicious glance at any artist that releases his or her first album outside the fold of a well-known band. At least that’s the case for anyone that isn’t Annie Lennox. For as much as many of us loved what Dave Stewart brought to Eurythmics, it seemed that the world knew that he and Lennox were equals in that crea...
- No More I Love You’s (Medusa, 1995) “Her voice is ironic, passionate, frank… This song has bittersweet lyrics and some soaring vocals, and puts a dagger in the sweet heart of soppy romantic love.”
- Why (Diva, 1992) ” I swear every word of that song took on new meaning in terms of life passing, and all the things you try so hard to make right, and maybe give yourself just a little peace.
- Into the West (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, 2003) “Annie Lennox can do no wrong, really. She won an Academy Award for this and clearly deserved it.
- Little Bird (Diva, 1992) “This version of Little Bird starts the same as it does in the music video, with Annie Lennox going “woo hoo hoo” — The original song starts differently.
