En mayo os comentábamos que Annie Lennox preparaba álbum para este año, aunque entonces no sabía cómo sería ni en qué discográfica saldría. Eso sí, contendría su última canción "UNIVERSAL CHILD" que ya os presentábamos en esa entrada (14-05-2010). Pues ahora, Annie ya tiene más claro las cosas: ha firmado contrato con Universal Music y su nuevo disco saldrá el 22 de noviembre y será navideño: "A CHRISTMAS CORNUCOPIA" ("El cuerno de la abundancia navideño"). El álbum además de "UNIVERSAL CHILD" ("El niño universal") incluirá versiones de sus villancicos favoritos en la personal y única voz de Annie. Incluimos impresiones y opiniones (en inglés) que se han hecho sobre el disco y que han sido publicadas en la web de Annie.
In May we commented that Annie Lennox was preparing an album for this year, though then she didn't know exactly how it would be and which record laber would be publishing it. She knew that it would contain her latest song "UNIVERSAL CHILD" which we already showed you at that post (14-05-2010). Now, Annie has some things clearer: she has signed with Universal Music and her new record will be released on November 22nd and it'll be a Christmas album: "A CHRISTMAS CORNUCOPIA". Apart from "UNIVERSAL CHILD", the album will include Lennox’s unique and personal interpretations of some of her favorite Christmas carols. We include impressions and opinions that have been made about the record and have been published on Annie's web.
“I’m absolutely delighted to be working with Island Records on my upcoming recording,” stated Ms. Lennox. “This album is something I’ve wanted to do for many years. It’s a true labour of love, and I feel very fortunate to be in partnership with such a cutting edge team, especially when I’m at a stage in my creativity when I want to diversify, and pursue my passion in my own individual way. I’ve never been part of a “mold,” and Island are really supportive and appreciative of where I’m coming from. I want to make timeless music that people will love in many years to come...and I’d like to think that “A Christmas Cornucopia” is going to be of those recordings.”“There are precious few artists who redefine the boundaries of popular music like Annie,” said Lucian Grainge, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Universal Music Group. “And we are delighted to be part of the next exciting chapter in her already storied career.”“Annie Lennox is one of world’s greatest singers,” commented Ms. Lennox’s manager Simon Fuller. “She has sold tens of millions of albums, celebrated countless hit singles and won every major award and honour there is to receive. However there is one thing she has always wanted to do and now it's about to happen. Annie has always wanted to record an album of Christmas songs and to see this finally come to fruition is very special. Annie and I are thrilled to now be working with Island Records and all my friends at Universal around the world. We are looking forward very much to a long, happy and successful partnership for many years to come.”“The album Annie has recorded is timeless and inspiring, a very special showcase for her extraordinary voice," added Universal Music UK chairman David Joseph. "This record is just the start of what feels like a natural, and very exciting, new partnership between Annie and Island Records.”Throughout her remarkable career, Annie Lennox has been celebrated as an innovator, and a symbol of enduring excellence. Both as a member of the groundbreaking Eurythmics and as a solo artist without peer, Annie has amassed sales of more than 80 million albums worldwide and claimed 34 hit singles, four Grammy Awards, 11 Brit Awards, five Ivor Novellos, an Academy Award and two Golden Globes.
