If you're not ready to get a mega case of the chills yet, I suggest not listening to this song and/or watching this video. HOWEVER, I doubt you'll be able to resist the power that is exuded in the video for Full Steam , a duet by David Gray and Annie Lennox . Earlier this fall, we caught wind of a duet between the Welsh and Scottish singers. The dramatic pairing seemed inevitably gorgeous, even before...
I know I said I'd be blogging about my trip here in Bulgaria, but so much has been happening that I don't even know where to begin. I return to the U.S. tomorrow in time for Thanksgiving, but in the meanwhile, I had to share this beautiful duet featuring the queen empress of ModFabania, Annie Lennox. Beautiful, elegiac, and gorgeously simple.
I hold the faith that Madonna 's Hard Candy and Celebration albums were simply contractual obligations. Once we get another Like A Prayer/Ray of Light I am sure most critics will get a little softer on her most recent releases. I was never terribly fond of Bedtime Stories initially, but somehow after the double onslaught of her 1998 and Music albums made me want to warm my hands from its gentle slow...
O ne of the first songs I really loved was Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These) by the Eurythmics. I'd grown up listening to the Electric Light Orchestra, and little else. When Sweet Dreams charted in 1983 (I was 10) the song hit me like a tidal wave. It was one of those watershed songs. I remember coming back from a school camping trip and everybody was singing this song, it felt like I'd missed a massive...

Imogen Heap 's debut album I Megaphone : is both an anagram of Imogen's name and an allusion to her often uncompromising stance on life. Heap's angst-filled songs tend to emulate the styles popularized by PJ Harvey , Kate Bush and Annie Lennox . I Megaphone was a mixture of self-penned and self-produced tracks, alongside tracks co-written and produced with established producers such as David Kahne...

Personally, I think Celine Dion singing "My Avatar Will Go On" would've been a much better choice for a title song, but oh well. A new press release from Atlantic Records, distributor of the soundtrack to James Cameron's much-hyped film Avatar, indicates that Grammy winning pop and R&B singer Leona Lewis will be the voice behind the film's title song "I See You." The rest of...
