Annie Lennox – ‘Nostalgia’
For her sixth studio album, Annie Lennox takes a sentimental journey into the past to deliver a contemporary piece of musical bliss.
Blessed with one of the most distinctive voices in music, Lennox无毛视频檚 voice is clearly the focal point of the album as the piano-based arrangements of jazz, blues and R&B are carefully absorbed and reinterpreted by the soulful diva.
Described by Lennox as a true labor of love, 无毛视频淣ostalgia无毛视频� features the former Eurythmics singer embracing a set of treasured standards formerly performed by such greats as Nina Simone, Billie Holiday and Ray Charles.
While Charles is forever linked to 无毛视频淕eorgia on My Mind,无毛视频� Lennox delivers a hauntingly elegant version that is simply breathtaking. The Scottish singer smolders with the strength and defiance of a vengeful woman on 无毛视频淚 Put a Spell on You无毛视频� by Screamin无毛视频� Jay Hawkins, while offering up plenty of passion and emotion on Holiday无毛视频檚 无毛视频淪trange Fruit.无毛视频�
Lennox shines on other standout tracks like 无毛视频淪ummertime无毛视频� from 无毛视频淧orgy and Bess,无毛视频� the Patti Page hit 无毛视频淵ou Belong to Me无毛视频� and the powerful 无毛视频淕od Bless the Child.无毛视频� Duke Ellington无毛视频檚 无毛视频淢ood Indigo无毛视频� brings the album to a lavish conclusion with a bluesy aura and gorgeous, lush harmonies.
Lennox无毛视频檚 take on these classic songs detailing the human condition is expertly exercised with fine detail and care. With over 80 million record sales to date, the 59-year-old singer continues to evolve as an artist by placing her uniquely identifiable imprint on songs from various musical styles.
Lennox produces her best release since the deeply personal tracks of 2003无毛视频檚 无毛视频淏are无毛视频� and proves once again what sweet dreams are really made of.
