Sheena Easton and (lingo Boingo). the Nevilles have created a new album that explodes with the most propelling groove in the bands' history. Wolinski encouraged the broth ers to record Steve Miller's remarkably prescient "Fly Like An Eagle" after hear ing it on a live recording the band made a decade earlier "It was a challenge for The Neville Brothers, featuring (l-r) Cyril, Aaron, Charier end Art, will bring ita luted, fraternal lour to Eugene on Tueeday, June 9 .ill of us lo do thnl .song, " Cyril said, "since it had already lieen a hit.

Tracking the Latest Annie Lennox Diva Arista 1992 *** Her voice propelled the Lurythmics to worldwidealbumsal«sof35million. Now Annie Lennox leaves the relatively safe haven of that band for the uncertainty of a solo album. Co-L’urythmic Dave Stewart has also worked on various solo projects, but nothing quite as good as Diva Diva begins, appropriately enough, with the defiant and empowering "Why.'’ In it, Lennox sings, "Some things are better left unsaid/ But they still turn me inside out." She briars her soul on this album, and by the end. it appears that she has left very little unsaid. In a press release, she said. "In a sense, I fell like this is my very first album and because of that, it had tobesomethingthat represented me totally." How a woman can tear the scars seen on Diva and still have such an immaculate voice is amyMtjry. in waiting on Broken Class," she sings. "'Cause if you want to hurt me/ You're doing really well my dear." Lennox's sassy humor and innate song crafting sense have not abandoned her. Her delivery is more subtle than in her work with the Eurythmics The best track is probably the chilling "Cold." "Dying is easy,” she sings. "It's living that scares me to death." The honesty and openness is refreshing in an age of glamorous, diva-like pop facades. j f Review by Eron , Witeel Pivu suffers from a peculiar predictability that allows a listener to guess, with a good chance 01 Dmng correct, exactly what the next line will say Btx:auseof this, some of the songs sound vaguely familiar. Occasionally, however, this gives an unusual sense of shared experience A frightening fault with the album, though, is that it portrays Lennox dan cing her merry jig precariously close to the •adult-contemporary' genre - a genre in which acts like Simply Red and Michael Bolton have vanished. Please Annie, stay with us. Please.
