Pop · 1995 · 11 tracks

Medusa

A high-gloss collection of covers originally by male artists. Lennox reinterprets soul, rock, and new wave through a lens of icy, sophisticated synth-pop.

Annie Lennox takes your favorite songs by men and makes them sound like a sophisticated midnight fever dream.

A sophisticated, late-night meditation on love and loss, delivered with icy precision and theatrical soul.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The surreal operatic 'do-be-do' vocal loops that open the album on track 1

The glacial, six-minute slow-burn synth pads of The Downtown Lights

The way the rhythm section transforms the reggae pulse of Waiting in Vain into a sleek pop ballad
