Annie Lennox - Songs Of Mass Destruction

Originally released in October 2007, Songs of Mass Destruction is the fourth solo studio album by the incomparable Annie Lennox. Marking a shift toward more somber, soul-baring themes, the album explores the "mass destruction" of the human heart and the global community alike. With its blend of sophisticated pop, electronic textures, and Lennox’s signature powerhouse vocals, the record was hailed as one of the most mature and impactful works of her storied career.

The album is perhaps most famous for the monumental track "Sing," a soaring anthem of empowerment created to raise money and awareness for the HIV/AIDS organization Treatment Action Campaign. The song features a "who's who" of female vocalists, including Madonna, Celine Dion, Dido, Beth Gibbons, Gladys Knight, P!nk, Fergie, and Shakira, among others. From the intimate, brooding lead single "Dark Road" to the grand, orchestral scale of its production, Songs of Mass Destruction remains a vital testament to Lennox's artistry and activism.
