Official Press Release From Annie HQ

Post Annie Lennox’s moving appearance at the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Concert in London’s Hyde Park, Annie is returning to the studio to work on her first new material since the critically acclaimed fourth solo album Songs Of Mass Destruction in 2007. This new material will be released later in the year through RCA Label Group / SonyBMG, with whom Annie has had a successful relationship for her whole career.
 
In a career that has spanned over 26 years, including the 16 years since Annie released her first solo album, Diva, no other British female artist has achieved so much. Over 78 million sales across the globe, and 34 hit singles compliment the 4 Grammies, 11 BRITS, 5 Ivor Novellos, an Oscar, and the 2 Golden Globes amongst other musical accolades.
 
Annie Lennox has recently received the Red Cross Services to Humanity Award and was the recipient of the 2008 Glamour Inspirational Woman of the Year. The awards were in recognition of Annie Lennox’s efforts to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS through music, video and campaigning throughout her career and the worldwide acclaimed SING campaign – (www.annielennoxsing.com). Annie has focused her humanitarian efforts using all media available, including the internet in an initiative Annie defines as Laptop Activism. Annie’s own website, the centre of these activities, won a prestigious 2008 Webby Award recognised as the Oscars of the internet (www.webbyawards.com).
 
Further information on the new project will be released via www.annielennox.com

New Blog

June 30th 2008

The concert for Nelson Mandela’s birthday was yet another beautiful experience. And I have to give full credit to everyone behind the scenes. The organisation was absolutely exceptional. We tend to forget all the people who are involved in making these things happen, without whom..there would be complete chaos..or..nothing at all! Singing with the Agape Choir was completely uplifting. They gave their absolute best, and I am SO proud of them. The main thing for me, is trying to join the dots, and make the connection between the REAL people who are struggling to survive, and the abstract statistics that you read about in the newspapers.
Somehow it doesn’t always manage to translate. We have a filter for it, for one reason or another.
The event gave us an opportunity to focus once again on the issues of social injustice, human rights, and poverty. All the things that Mandela fought for throughout his life. Once it’s over, new headlines come up straight away. After the Make Poverty History concert in 2005 the entire event was eclipsed by the tragic London bombings. It was sickening, and profoundly disappointing in all kinds of ways. The main thing is that if you get on board, you need to stay committed. It’s great having a nice day out in the park, and a sing along..but what are YOU going to do? What is YOUR contribution going to be? If you get involved and stay involved you can be part of  making a collective difference. That’s how social movements work..It’s not a quick fix..It’s an evolution.
Please read BLESSED UNREST by Paul Hawken and get inspired!
