Release Notes: <br />
<br />
We did the promo back in 2008 then the album got pushed to <br />
2009 and includes the 2 new tracks, 'Pattern Of My Life' <br />
(Written By Tom Chaplin from Keane) and 'Shining Light' a <br />
cover of Ash's 2001 hit. The cover art for the album was by <br />
shot by Bryan Adams. So a right mixture of people involved in <br />
Annie's first ever 'Greatest Hits' style release. <br />
<br />
American Music Awards Merit Award Recipient Annie Lennox is <br />
about to release The Annie Lennox Collection, which paints a <br />
vivid portrait in song of the most successful female British <br />
artist in pop music history. Available February, 17th on Sony <br />
Records, this 14-song retrospective brings together the <br />
acclaimed artist's finest solo work on a single disc for the <br />
first time, and includes a pair of new songs available <br />
exclusively with this release. <br />
<br />
This year the American Music Awards presented Annie Lennox <br />
with a special Award of Merit given to some of the industry's <br />
most influential artists. Previous honorees include Prince, <br />
Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, <br />
Johnny Cash, Paul McCartney, Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond and <br />
Gloria Estefan. During the show, Lennox will also give a <br />
special performance which will be her first since having back <br />
surgery in August, 2008. The show aired live from the Nokia <br />
Theatre in L.A. on Sunday, November 23 (8:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) <br />
on ABC. <br />
<br />
Spanning 15 years, The Annie Lennox Collection also available <br />
in a Deluxe CD/DVD edition includes hits from her four <br />
top-selling solo albums Diva (1992), Medusa (1995), Bare <br />
(2003) and last year's highly praised Songs of Mass <br />
Destruction. The timeless music selected for this collection <br />
uniquely reflects the essence of the singer's instantly <br />
recognizable brand of soul music on tracks like "Why," <br />
"Walking on Broken Glass" and "No More 'I Love You's'" -- a <br />
song that earned Lennox one of her four Grammys. <br />
<br />
The retrospective also includes two new songs that Lennox <br />
recorded specially for this collection. The first, "Pattern of <br />
My Life," was written by Tom Chaplin of Keane. The second is a <br />
cover of "Shining Light," a song originally recorded by Ash in <br />
2001. "I first discovered this song by Ash about six years <br />
ago, and I simply couldn't stop listening to it. It's so <br />
exultant that it virtually shimmers," Lennox says. Among the <br />
many highlights on The Annie Lennox Collection is "Sing," a <br />
song that references The SING Campaign, a humanitarian <br />
organization Lennox founded to raise awareness and support for <br />
the AIDS/HIV pandemic in Africa. "We're still in the early <br />
stages, but this is a lifelong commitment on my part," Lennox <br />
says. "I'm coming out from behind my singing voice to express <br />
myself in broader terms and help give a voice to those who <br />
don't have the same opportunities as I do." <br />
<br />
In her 26-year career, both as a member of the groundbreaking <br />
Eurythmics and as a solo artist, Lennox has amassed sales of <br />
more than 78 million albums worldwide. Her towering <br />
achievements also include 34 hit singles, four Grammy Awards, <br />
11 Brit Awards and five Ivor Novello Awards. The superstar has <br />
also won an Academy Award and Golden Globe.
