Annie Lennox - Live St. Luke’s 2009
Annie Lennox - Live St. Luke’s 2009
BBC One Sessions
March 7, 2009
London
As a curtain raiser to the release of her greatest hits package, The Annie Lennox Collection (March 9), this Scottish singer/musician, backed by the BBC Concert Orchestra, put on quite a show at St Luke’s in London which was broadcast on TV.Looking like she’s fully recovered from her back injury (Lennox underwent a spinal surgery in 2008), the singer is fighting fit and with a voice to match. Unlike the iconic figure she conjured up in her music videos - sometimes with extraordinary make-up and costumes, here, she simply let her songs and her voice take over.While it is the classic hit songs such as No More I Love You’s, Here Comes The Rain Again and Sweet Dreams which fans come to hear, it is no surprise the political activist did a “quiet” version of Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves (a modern feminist anthem with Aretha Franklin). Listening to this, it is not difficult to see why Lennox has been dubbed “The Greatest White Soul Singer Alive.” Then there is Ash’s Shining Light, the new song on the compilation.A partisan review at eurythmics.me.uk stated: “It felt like Annie was performing in our living rooms, the acoustics were incredible, the orchestra and Annie’s band creating the most incredible sound, and Annie’s vocals somehow managing to soar over them all.”
