rfmcdonaldA Eurythmics fan group on Facebook just reminded me that today, the 6th of April, is the 25th anniversary of the release of Annie Lennox's solo debut, Diva.
Wow.
Much of the video album, directed by long-time collaborator Sophie Muller who was also responsible for the exquisite 1986 Savage video album, is viewable here. I blogged about one track from Diva, "Little Bird", back in 2008. A lot of the tracks--"Why?", "Walking on Broken Glass", "Legend in my Living Room", all of them really--deserve extended commentaries of their own.
What can I say about Diva but that this album is one of the highlights of the career of an artist who has been hugely influential in my life? Without seeing "No More I Love Yous" on MuchMusic back in 1995, I can imagine that I might have gone into the sciences rather than the arts. Lennox's music has been a constant throughout my life, with its art and its poise and its personality. My life is much the better for having had it.
Thanks, Annie.
