LENNOX CONJURES UP CHILDHOOD MAGIC FOR CHRISTMAS ALBUM
ANNIE LENNOX insists she was always destined to record a festive album because she was born on Christmas Day.
The former Eurythmics star will celebrate her 56th birthday on 25 December (10) - and this year she’ll be able to celebrate the season with her own collection of hymns and carols.
She says, "I remember hearing all these beautiful Christmas carols in choir when I was six." The singer has now called on her childhood musical memories to pick the best festive tunes for new album A Christmas Cornucopia, which will be released next month (Nov10).
The album features a 30-piece orchestra and the African Children’s Choir.
Lennox admits she’s very proud with the finished product: "I loved doing this. My heart and soul are in the instrumentation, the interpretations and the arrangements." The singer is one of many big names releasing holiday albums this year (10) - Jessica Simpson, the Indigo Girls, Scott Weiland, Mariah Carey and the cast of Glee all have Christmas crackers planned for the festive charts.
