Annie Lennox - The Annie Lennox Collection Deluxe Edition (2CD) 2009 [Flac & MP3 formats]

A deluxe edition (2 CD) of the greatest hits compilation from Scotland's best-known star follows her 2007 comeback album 'Songs Of Mass Destruction'. Songs from that album are included here, as well as tracks from her other three solo albums 'Diva', 'Medusa' and 'Bare'. The collection also features two newly recorded cover versions of songs by Ash and Keane. If Annie Lennox had only her time in Eurythmics to claim, she'd still be recognized as one of the greatest modern pop and soul singers. If Annie Lennox had only her time in Eurythmics to claim, she'd still be recognized as one of the greatest modern pop and soul singers. In addition however, she has enjoyed massive success as a solo artist.

The Annie Lennox Collection is the first compiled retrospective of this influential Scottish artist's solo hits. It features songs from DIVA, MEDUSA, BARE, SONGS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, even one from the BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA soundtrack ("Love Song for a Vampire"), along with two brand-new tracks. Even the most casual radio listener will recall "Walking on Broken Glass" and "No More I Love Yous," but the often more ambitious and angry songs from DESTRUCTION hold up just as well in contrast.

Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - The headspinning 'Walking On Broken Glass' is the very point where keening intelligence meets gloriously fizzy pop.
Q

4 stars out of 5 - With half-a-dozen tracks that you'll come to afresh, including a cover of Ash's 'Shining Light'.... Well worth a listen...

Edit of 14 April2009:
Sorry - mp3 track 08 was apparently faulty in the original post, so I've re-uploaded CD2 (talc2-2M.rar).
