Product Description

Amazon.co.uk review
Bare, Annie Lennox's first album of original songs in 11 years, is a stylish tour de force that showcases the former Eurythmics chanteuse in all her chilly, shimmering splendour. Her formidable voice is still a supple and intriguing instrument, lithely shape-shifting between emotions, personas and musical forms. Lennox moves effortlessly from the sparse and pristine lament of "A Thousand Beautiful Things" to the deceptively simple "Pavement Cracks", a solemn ballad that is transformed by electro dance beats that recall some of the best of the Eurythmics. But Lennox's quixotic voice is best utilised as an old-school soul instrument; she makes a metaphorical journey to Motown on "Hurting Time", a reflective ballad that could have been lifted off a Miracles album. "Honesty" finds the Scottish diva at her well-mannered best, occupying the sophisticated space formerly held by Carly Simon. --Jaan Uhelszki

CD Description
Third solo release from Eurythmics frontwoman Annie Lennox and the follow up to her 1995 covers album 'Medusa'. Produced by Steve Lipton, 'Bare' continues along the same lines as her two previous albums, fusing adult contemporary pop with influences of soul, R&B and blues.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Return To Form, 15 Jun 2003
Ms. Annie Lennox has finally done it. She's come up with the goods that I know a great deal of her fans have been waiting for.
Throughout her career, Annie has played with image, gender and her audience's emotions - creating vast muscial landscapes (along with Dave, for the most part) with which people can lose themself in and really feel as if they belong. Now, as she says herself, all that has gone before has been cast aside in favour of the true, musical Annie Lennox. The songs are still about despair, hope and all that love stuff but this time they seem to mean so much more. I've always judged Annie (and Dave) by the first three tracks on an album. Do I connect with what she's saying? Does it uplift me instead of allowing me to wallow in my own self pity? The only problem I've found with her previous material is that the music somehow doesn't match the mood. I know that in some cases that's the point she's trying to make musically, but still. Give me the hook and I'm hooked. From the moment her 'backing singers' proclaim "A thousand beautiful things" I'm hooked on the lyrics AND the music. There are also echoes of previous songs and for a fan that's great. There's a link to the past and the feeling that you have some personal conversation going with Annie, but she takes it one step further and really makes me feel like her charge. She's the all-knowing matron and I'm there to take her advice and get on with my life.
Bare really is a personal journey come to fruition. This is the real Annie Lennox and by God I hope I don't have to wait so long next time to hear what she's got to say. The woman should be knighted for her services to humankind! Amen

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great album!, 19 May 2006
By J. A. Cumming "jacumming01" (Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a fan of Annie I have to admit being disappointed by Medusa, so it was with some trepidation that I bought Bare. Nevertheless, I was totally hooked from the first time I played it. This is full of tracks which are classic Lennox - deftly blending haunting lyrics with beautiful vocals and all full of emotion. Major highlights for me include 'Honestly', 'Wonderful' and 'Bitter Pill'.

Some people have reported problems with copy protection on the disc preventing them from playing on their PC, but it played just fine in my desktop under XP.

In summary, don't be put off by the cover (as I nearly was) - this is a great album and shows Annie Lennox shining at her true best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Track By Track Review, 3 May 2003
By A Customer
'1000 beautiful things' is an elegant starter with an acousitc loop.

'Pavement cracks' - the most powerful and catchy song on the album with a rocking melodie - waking up the listener.

'The hurtin time' is with nearly 7 1/2 minutes the longest song on the album - a calm, neverending, meditative flow, layers of sound and voices appear from a distance and diappear slowly into eternity.

'Honestly' is a tricky, groovy little song with 2 levels: the singer's voice and the voice in the singer's head that's singing and talking all the time and makes it hard to understand what you're singing - brilliant.

'Wonderful' is soft and sad with a suddenly whipping chorus that reminds of 'Precious' from the album 'Diva', but it is also the weakest song on the album.

'Bitter pill' is a jumping 70s party rock song, stamping like 'Sisters are doin' it for themselves', simple, direct, cool.

'Loneliness' is a song like a bright hurricane; first the deep soul of Annie Lennox's voice breaks the silence before the storm and makes you shiver, the sound rises until the shining eye of the storm and disappears again.

'The saddest song' is not the saddest song, but the most beautiful song of 'Bare' - you can hear Annie Lennox smile while she sings "This is the saddest song I've got" -, a warm lullaby like a red sunrise, a feeling like woken up by sunbeams, so beautiful you could cry.

In 'Erased' Annie Lennox gets back to rythm - with a funky piano and a slim drum machine the song gives the feel of fast walk along the road of your life, waving goodbye to memories along the road.

Bells ring in 'Twisted' and the walk becomes a swinging march, not one of the best songs, but with exciting sound breaks.

'Oh god', the last song of the album, is sung to a swamp organ by a half-hearted, disillusioned prayer who doubts that her sad prayer will change anything.

'Bare' doesn't sound like a collection of songs, it is a grown album, like the harvest of many, many years. A must for any lover of brilliant voices and timeless, classical songwriting.
