Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: OUTSTANDING Comment: Diva shares every emotion possible in this CD. Little Bird, Cold, Precious--all awesome! Customer Rating: Summary: Annie Lennox Comment: Annie Lennox ... thank you for decades of excellent work. I'm fairly certain I own every CD you ever made. Including everything with The Eurythmics. DIVA is my favorite. The strength of her voice, never stronger. The lyrics and melodies ... solid. This is a CD that should be purchased, not downloaded from the internet. You lose too much in a digital MP3 format. This is a must own for anyone, any age group that loves music and a quality product. Customer Rating: Summary: Like wine...Diva gets better with age! Comment: I still enjoy listening to this album 15 years after its release. Annie Lennox really delivered with an outstanding album of 11 tracks. Diva marked the departure from her collaborations with Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) and although there's not as much synth-pop on Diva, Lennox's lyrics on her solo work are just as honest and profound (if not more) as they are on her Eurythmics' compositions. My favourite tracks are "Why" - this has got to be one of the most beautifully written songs of all time. This song is so emotive and one feels Annie's pain, particularly towards the end. Other standouts are "Cold", "Money Can't Buy It", "Precious" and especially, "The Gift". If the Diva CD doesn't satisfy your hunger for Annie, pick up the Diva DVD, which features a collection of music videos from the album including "Why", "Legend In My Living Room", "Cold", "Money Can't Buy It", "Precious", "The Gift" and "Keep Young and Beautiful". Annie reinvents herself in each video to be consistent with the tone and feelings of each song. It's an absolute must-have for any Annie fan. Customer Rating: Summary: she vocalizes heartfelt feelings Comment: Annie Lennox never disapoints, almost all of my favs are on this CD from "why" about a disintegrating relationship. "Money can't buy it" a quest for material things & loss of love, to a very intense "cold" about non-reciprocated love, we can all relate to her material at sometime in our lives, she has an incredible gift to express her heartache/passion &/or pain/joy through her awesome voice & lyrics. Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Album! Comment: I get so many compliments on this album because I play it in my truck often. It is truly one of my very favorites. Came to me in great shape and with no waiting. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Although traces of her synthpop roots certainly showed through, Annie Lennox's solo debut, Diva, made it abundantly clear that her new material would veer away from gender-bending robotics of the early Eurythmics sound and continue toward the more emotionally grounded soul of later releases. On Diva, Lennox infuses each song with tenderly perceptive lyrics, hypnotic rhythms, and irresistibly soulful wailings. Her arrangements are clean and simple, utilizing bare instrumentation and sometimes-languid chord work. The singles "Walking on Broken Glass," "Little Bird," and "Why" became radio mainstays, while gems such as the Eastern-influenced dream ballad "Primitive," the hauntingly autobiographical pop-lament "Legend in My Living Room," and the cheerfully satirical "Keep Young and Beautiful" gave the album a plump maturity. --Sally Weinbach
