Annie Lennox

Studio 360

Annie Lennox became a household name in the 80s with her hits as half of Eurythmics — including “Sweet Dreams” and “Here Comes the Rain Again.” Her new solo album is called Songs of Mass Destruction and on its cover, Lennox rises from a battlefield, like some sort of revolutionary. Kurt asks her what inspired the record’s imagery, and about the darkness that has haunted her music for years.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
