Pavement Cracks

Annie Lennox

RCA

WE SAY

Annie covered Blue Nile's Downtown Lights on the Medusa album and the legendary Scots sound to us like they've influenced her new album too. This is a very good thing as first single Pavement Cracks demonstrates - no-one else is making music like this and no-one else COULD sing it like Annie.
