ANNIE LENNOX : Shining Light

After a hellishly long false start (it was originally due for release in September last year) cause by Annie’s recovery from spinal injury suffered in a fall in Mexico, Annie Lennox is set to release her solo ‘best of’ collection on March 27. The Annie Lennox Collection pulls together hits from her extraordinary solo albums, from ‘Why’ to ‘Precious’ and ‘No More I Love Yous’ to ‘A Whiter Shade Of Pale’ and ‘Pavement Cracks’. The best of also features two new tracks, one of which has been given a rather far out video clip. It’s the cover of the 2001 Ash classic ‘Shining Light’, which Annie recreates into a beautiful piece of uplifting soul/pOp. And we’ve got to say, for a woman who’ll celebrate her 55th birthday at the end of the year, she looks truly and extraordinarily beautiful out front of her ‘Band Of Annies’.
