Don’t let the clay-faced, statuesque cover and title, Bare, fool you. There is nothing bare about this CD. Annie Lennox delivers a powerful set of personal ballads, introspective rock anthems, and soulful, mid-tempo grooves that are full bodied and musically unpredictable.

The long-awaited follow-up to her 1995 cover CD, Medusa, was well worth the wait. Where her solo debut album, Medusa, left off, Bare, picks up. Bare is Annie’s coming of age album. Using her artistic strength, Ms. Lennox compiled songs that are rich in melody, deep in content and sexy in vibe.

Annie’s voice is as strong and heavenly as ever. With a career spanning over two decades, Lennox seems to get better with time. Shedding the cloak of the Eurythmics, Bare leaves Annie vulnerable in her sense of strength – "Woman is doing for herself!"

Her soulful arrangements are pure Annie Lennox. Penning all eleven of Bare’s tracks, Annie teamed up with diva producer Stephen Lipson to once again, "Give it to us!!"

So boys, grab a bottle of wine, light some candles, feel the intoxication of Ms. Lennox – a true diva – and "Bare" your soul.
