A Christmas CornucopiaAnnie LennoxAlbumGenre: RockDescription: One of the most successful iconic and talented artists of the late 20th century is back – and back like you’ve never heard her before. On November 15th 2010 Annie Lennox releases her sixth solo album. A Christmas Cornucopia is a collection of new inspired interpretations of 11 traditional festive songs rounded out by a new Lennox composition Universal Child available digitally from 12th October. “I’ve known these songs these carols all my life I’ve sung them since I was little says the songwriter and singer of The Holly And The Ivy Silent Night The First Noel and other less-widely-known songs such as Il Est Ne Le Divin Enfant and Lullay Lullay. “ They’re just in me. They’re a huge part of my life. So it’s not an arbitrary selection. Those relationships with those pieces of music were there intrinsically before I approached the recording. The music on the album was mostly played by Lennox in collaboration with co producer Mike Stevens and recorded in his southwest London studio – at the bottom of his garden. But to achieve the resonance and vibrancy that were integral to Lennox’s ideas for these re-energized reboots the pair also worked with a 30-piece orchestra at Pinewood Studios. And they travelled further afield too: to South Africa to record with the African Children’s Choir a remarkable organization with which impassioned campaigner and activist Lennox has long had a relationship. “The Island team were so enthusiastic and so excited to be working with me and I was blown away that they felt like that. It feels very energized and fresh and new. And that’s a great feeling for me. You can hear as much in A Christmas Cornucopia.
This product would be a great fit for fans of A-list pop diva, Annie Lennox.
