"... one of those records you will find yourself going back to over and over again ... the kind of record that both soothes your jangled nerves and stimulates your senses at the same time. The material is extraordinary, the arrangements are flawless and Lennox’s vocals are absolutely gorgeous."
- The Guardian
On the Grammy nominated Nostalgia, Annie Lennox pays tribute to some of the greatest artists of the 20th century, interpreting compositions that have moved her, stripping them down to their emotional and musical core and making them her own. Lennox presents fresh and hauntingly beautiful takes on iconic American compositions by such artists as Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Billie Holiday and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins that continue to resonate with modern audiences. Among the songs covered here is the legendary Gershwin tune Summertime which has been recorded thousands of times.
“With over 25,000 recordings of Summertime, you can begin to get a sense of just how immensely popular this song truly is. From all the songs on Nostalgia, this is the one I can say I knew best, having heard it since as long as I can remember. The challenge was how to find a different way to approach it so that the listener might hear it as if for the very first time."
- Annie Lennox
