Accompanying the release of her greatest hits set The Annie Lennox Collection, the artist has dug deep into her collection to supplement the standard release.
The Annie Lennox Collection standard edition will feature 14-tracks comprised of her greatest hits plus two newly recorded covers Pattern of My Life and Shining Light. The collection includes her iconic hits Why, No More “I Love You’s” and the recent single Sing. A limited edition physical release will be packaged with a DVD collection of her video hits and two bonus videos Something So Right and Waiting in Vain from her covers album Medusa. The latter spawned a Mickey Mouse ears trend among her fans.
The real goldmine for fans though will be packaged with iTunes digital release. In addition to the 14 tracks that appear on the CD, the iTunes Super Deluxe packaging will include 8 bonus audio tracks and 4 bonus videos including two previously unreleased music videos.
Among the 8 bonus audio tracks is the obscure cover of Mama that Lennox recorded for 1995 compilation Ain’t Nuthin’ But a She Thing and only performed live once in her entire career to a prerecorded backing track. Additional tracks including her version of Many Rivers to Cross recorded for American Idol: Idol Gives Back and Dream Angus, which appeared on the compilation Carnival: Rainforest Foundation Concert.
Lennox is making a number of TV appearances this week to promote the U.S. release on February 17. She will also have two live performances titled An Evening With Annie Lennox in New York tonight February 10 and in Los Angeles on Friday, February 13. The U.K. release of The Annie Lennox Collection is March 9.
