Annie Lennox

During her early career, the androgynous, smoky-voiced diva was best known as one half of the hugely successful pop duo the Eurythmics. However, after parting ways with her collaborator Dave Stewart in 1991, Lennox emerged as a successful and critically acclaimed solo artist. Mixing crisp, slick production with songs that borrowed heavily from classic soul, traditional pop, and the singer-songwriter tradition, Lennox released several albums of sophisticated adult-alternative pop. Her inimitable aesthetic, stunning voice, and tasteful songwriting make Lennox a unique and beloved performer.
