Annie Lennox - Medusa CD

Medusa is the 1995 covers album from Annie Lennox, one of the most distinctive and powerful voices in popular music. Released on Arista Records, it reached number one in the UK and became one of the best-selling albums of that year — a testament to Lennox's extraordinary ability to inhabit and transform a song.

Rather than a straightforward covers record, Medusa is a deeply personal reimagining of songs Lennox loved and admired. Her interpretations of tracks by artists including The Clash, Neil Young, Paul Simon, and Procol Harum are delivered with an emotional intensity and vocal control that few artists could match. The standout reading of No More I Love You's — originally by The Lover Speaks — became one of her signature recordings, winning the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Annie Lennox first rose to fame as one half of the Eurythmics alongside Dave Stewart, before embarking on a hugely successful solo career with her debut album Diva (1992). Medusa cemented her status as one of the great interpreters of popular song.
