Those expecting Annie Lennox to come out full-guns-blazing for her solo debut, Diva, with the high energy electro-Europop-meets-American- R&B of her Eurythmics work may be mildly disappointed. The enigmatic vocalist who made a career toying with different notions of gender plays on the concept of fame here -- Lennox dresses up in the persona of a solitary Diva trapped by counterfeit glory. Although the music is strangely muted and understated, the framework offers an effective stage for Lennox's husky voice, showcasing her as much more of a chanteuse than in the past. In fact, the album almost works best as one integrated mood piece rather than a collection of individual songs. Lennox succeeds in carving out a personality distinct from her Eurythmics days with Diva.
"This is the book I never read,these are the words I never said,this is the path I'll never tread,these are the dreams I'll dream instead.This is the joy that's seldom spread,these are the tears...the tears we shed.This is the fear,this is the dread,these are the contents of my head."'Why' ~ Annie LennoxThis is such an amazing performance. I think I have no words to express, it just leaves me shak
