Annie Lennox - Medusa

Medusa is the second solo studio album by British singer-songwriter Annie Lennox, originally released in March 1995 via RCA Records in the UK and Arista Records in the US.

For her second solo album Lennox took a different approach, recording ten cover songs for Medusa. Songs she chose for the album ranged from diverse artists such as Procol Harum, Neil Young, Bob Marley and the Whalers, Al Green and The Psychedelic Furs.

The album produced four hit singles and her cover of “A Whiter Shade of Pale” has become an iconic version of this song. Her cover of The Lover Speaks song “No More I Love You’s”, has also become one of her signature songs.

The album entered the UK Album charts at #1 and reached #11 on the US Billboard 200 charts, spending 60 weeks on the charts. The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammy Awards of 1996, losing to Turbulent Indigo by Joni Mitchell, however, Lennox took home the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance award for her work on the first single "No More I Love You's".

Check out the tracks:  “No More I Love You’s”; “A White Shade of Pale”; “Waiting in Vain”; and “Something So Right”.
