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.
