I love love love Annie, and I want her to have my children and I've bought nearly all of her music but I think this was frankly a bit of a mess. Give me the tapes and I could do better really. Annie's voice is amazing and deserved better presentation than this track. "Would I lie to you/would I lie to you honey/now would I say something that wasn't true..." - played at 11 on the amp. The Best. Ever. I think Annie needs a track with her voice, synth and a brass orchestra again. Then she will will rock the world again! Stars on 45 keep on turning in my mind…

As usual, she is way ahead of the game, collaborating with an artist (much like herself) who works outside of the traditional music business. The result is Annie's lifetime of work beautifully woven by Earworm both musically and visually - an entirely new stunning song/video created from existing favorites. This is the future of music as we know it...people are waking up.

What a wonderful surprise. I'm on my third listen. Thank you, DJEarworm, whoever you are, and thank you Annie Lennox for being so generous with your material. I think I will find a record store tonight and stock up for some weekend listening. That reawakened a passion for Annie Lennox that I hadn’t even realized had gone dormant.

My main regret is that I haven't heard any of the originals often enough to recognize the components being reused. Having the original tracks to work with -- so this is really a fresh production -- makes a huge difference. Having the creativity to do it makes even more difference. Props to the Earworm!

The version of Loneliness sung in Spanish is on her MySpace page, and even without knowing Spanish I'd say it is better than the original English version. I'd buy it. I guess the record label doesn't agree. Supposedly Annie also has an entire recording of the “Bare” album sung by her in Spanish.

I have had the most enormous crush/obsession on this woman since I was twelve. And I don't see it ending any time soon. Thanks, DJ Earworm. I loved listening to this and catching clips of my favorite songs, then having to scuttle off and listen to them all. Ms. Lennox is a wonderful woman- a brilliant artist, and her SING campaign is truly warm-hearted. I hope to one day see her live. Ohhhh.

It's so bad I wouldn't have even bothered commenting except I've always loved Annie Lennox's work. To hear it treated with such disrespect is simply shocking. I finally understand why people hated The Phantom Menace and Andres Serrano's treatment of crucifixes. That was the most unabashedly awful thing I’ve heard in recent memory.
