Annie Lennox A Christmas Cornucopia |
In this blog post, I revisit Annie Lennox's timeless 2010 holiday album, "A Christmas Cornucopia." This beautifully arranged collection of classic Christmas carols showcases Annie's unique voice and artistic flair, making it a must-listen every festive season. I'll also share how my friend Erik Harden introduced me to Annie's incredible talent and his attempt to turn me into an androgynous male version of her.
Annie Lennox's "A Christmas Cornucopia" is filled with beautifully arranged classic Christmas carols, each track highlighting her powerful, emotive voice. The album perfectly blends traditional holiday cheer with Annie's signature style, making it a must-listen every festive season. From "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Lullay Lullay (The Coventry Carol)" to "Silent Night," each song is given new life with her imaginative arrangements and heartfelt performances.
Though I knew her from the hit songs "Here Comes the Rain Again" and "Sweet Dreams" my love for Annie Lennox's voice began thanks to my friend Erik Harden. He was a huge fan and had tried to get me to become an androgynous singer like a young male version of Annie. Although I didn't quite take that path, I am eternally grateful to Erik for introducing me to Annie's incredible talent. Her voice never fails to captivate me, and "A Christmas Cornucopia" is a shining example of her versatility and artistry.
What I love most about this album is the fresh spin Annie puts on these well-known carols. Her creative take on traditional songs brings a new sense of magic and wonder to the holiday season. Each track is not just a song but a heartfelt performance that embodies the spirit of Christmas. Listening to "A Christmas Cornucopia" not only brings the holiday spirit but also reminds me of the enduring influence of Annie Lennox's music on my life, thanks to Erik's encouragement.
