Annie Lennox is an icon. Is she conventional? Not by any means, so did we really expect a tradition Christmas video or song? No…
Annie told Spinner- “It kind of brings you into almost a mythical kingdom. My references were to go back to Victorian times, which is a source of the way we celebrate Christmas now, with the cards, the Christmas tree and the presents. But I was also conscious about the Pagan idea, about marking the time of the end of the year. The trees go bare, we have the dark nights and the solstice.”
A Christmas Cornucopia, Annie Lennox’s first ever holiday album, will be released November 16th through Decca Records.
