Annie Lennox does not lower the age of its slow

In the mid-1980s when the singer Annie Lennox men wore suits, sport an orange crew cut and faced constant questions about his androgynous image, she responded by coming to sing at the Grammy Awards in full strength.

Now, after four solo albums, divorce and a new greatest hits CD, the prominent Scottish born singer who won fame as the first part of the pop duo Eurythmics often says a lot of fashion.

"It became past," he told Reuters.


But 54 years old Lennox, whose first retrospective album "The Annie Lennox Collection" is the release this week, said it still wants to maintain its image as an artist on the edge of pop music and culture, as well as a powerful woman.

"I'm thinking" OK, I do not want to end up like the proverbial mutton dressed as lamb ", but how am I going to do it gracefully aging thing? "He said.

"I still want to be a performer faculty, a faculty wife. I want to see women and think, 'Okay, she has a few wrinkles, and well." I do not have to lie about my age. .. What's shame? And what is so bad about being older? "

His new album features 14 songs such hits as "Walking on Broken Glass", "No More Te Quiero," "Why," and two new songs including "Shining Light" - a cover of the best-selling 2001 single by Irish rockers Ash.

The album, which she calls "a great arc before going out and doing the next step" is his last with his record label of 30 years, Sony BMG, and she has yet to sign with another label.

Various states
The songs are taken from each of his four solo albums he recorded after a pause in 1990, Dave Stewart, with whom he formed the successful pop duo Eurythmics.

Each solo album marked by different emotional states Lennox. His "Songs of Mass Destruction" in 2007, including the single "Dark Road", directed joylessness and sadness in my soul. "

Lennox, who said that is not currently in a relationship, says he has learned some life lessons. His marriage to Israeli film producer Uri Fruchtman ended in 2000.

"I do not believe in marriage in particular more. I think it's good if you can get it and it works, but boy oh boy," he said. "When you are older and can look back as they have been there - if I had known then what I know now - might have been different."

His greatest hits album, which was delayed for more than six months after suffering a trapped nerve cord, has brought a new lifestyle Lennox relaxed and aware of the ups and downs of life that attempts to avoid.


"I'm coasting now. I feel very well," he said. "I am afraid to say that, because you never know in life, right?"

After this album, the political activist and mother of two girls said she will keep recording music and campaigning on issues such as AIDS in Africa and women's rights.

Lennox and hastens to add that still prefers to dress in trousers. "I do not find so beautiful, sexy, all tits and ass. I never did, and I do not now because I'm too old for that," he said.(Source: Veryquiet.com)
