Annie Lennox is spreading some festive cheer as she reissues her 2010 holiday album A Christmas Cornucopia.
The Eurythmics star first released the collection a decade ago, including the singer’s favourite Christmas songs and one original track written by Lennox, Universal Child.
Explaining why she is re-releasing the album and the previously-unreleased version of Henry Purcell’s opera classic Dido’s Lament, she says: “2020 has been an unprecedented year around the world.
“The carols on this album represent continuum – harking back to a time before modern technology, climate emergency, global pandemics, pollution, forest destruction, species extinction and all the challenges our world must urgently deal with in terms of crisis in sustainability.
“I hope this recording will at least offer some comfort and nostalgia, but also an awareness that political leaders, religious leaders and everyone around the world must face up to the question of how many more Christmases we have left to spend on this blighted earth.”
A Christmas Cornucopia is set to drop on November 20th. Pre-order your copy on CD and vinyl now.
