Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the massive success of her solo debut, Annie Lennox returned with 'Medusa', a meticulously produced collection entirely composed of cover songs. Reimagining tracks by artists ranging from Bob Marley to The Clash, Lennox applies her powerhouse vocals and lush, downtempo synth arrangements to fundamentally recontextualize the original material. The album's sophisticated, highly atmospheric production cemented her status as a titan of 90s adult contemporary pop.
