"We are trying to do something
different,” said Art, keyboardist and el
dest of the brothers, "We're singing about
what we've always sung alxiul love,
justice and waking up to the fad that
we're all human livings But on this al
bum we've got a state-of-the-art sound "
Since they united as bandmales

millions of records worldwide and have
had gold and platinum albums in six
different countries

Leonard (who engineered for the likes of
Prince. 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

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.
