Annie's Massive Weapons
Annie Fannie Lennox, fresh from her role in "Doctor Who and Utopia" has revealed her new album title...
"Songs of Mass Destruction".
Yes really!
Amusingly she said this about it...
"As you can tell..it's going to be light weight, easy listening, coffee house kinda stuff...NOT!"

She's a silly moo. She can write and perform great pop songs yet 90 percent of the time she doesn't want to and wants to do dreary ballads.
Oddly though the rumoured collaboration with Dame Madonna Louise Veronica Ciconne-Ritchie (nee Penn) OBE is actually strongly rumoured to be real. Unlikely as it seems but a reliable Madge fan-fan site says...
"Madonna Tribe has just heard fantastic news about the recently rumoured duet between Annie Lennox and Madonna. We are happy to report for the first time online (meaning that this info is not available anywhere online as we speak) that the song is titled "Sing My Sister" and that it can be described as an uptempo ballad.
Madonna was the natural choice to take a part to this song as it opens with the voice of an African woman calling for an implementation of the hiv mother to child transmission prevention programme in South African hospitals.
Annie starts the song saying "Sing My Sister Sing" on a piano loop and then Madonna comes in after a couple of minutes for what can be called more as a "special appearance" than a real duet song. Her part (basically the bridge of the song) is reminiscent of similar appearances in "Sidewalk Talk" or "Get Over"
The song is an hymn to the women of the world reminding them that "woman kind" is strong and they have to let their voices be heard.
We have also been told the song, (lasting a bit more than four and a half minutes), ends in fade with an "African Chant", something similar to "Lion King" songs."

Annie Lennox's first studio album in four years, "Songs of Mass Destruction," will arrive in the fall. Due Oct. 2 via Arista, the set was produced by Glen Ballard, who previously told Billboard.com, "It's a very intense record. It's very personal to her. We spent a lot of time making sure the music was the way she wanted it."
Among the songs confirmed to appear on the album are "Fingernail Moon," "Dark Road" and "Sing," the latter of which was inspired by Lennox's work with Nelson Mandela's 46664 campaign to curb the spread of AIDS.
"Sing" sports contributions from 23 superstar female vocalists, including Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Dido, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Shakira, Bonnie Raitt, Gladys Knight, Pink, Fergie, Melissa Etheridge and KT Tunstall, among others.
The former Eurythmics vocalist's previous set, "Bare" (J Records), debuted at No. 4 on The Billboard 200 in June 2003.
Lennox has yet to confirm tour dates but will appear Aug. 15 at a special performance with the BBC Concert Orchestra at London's Mermaid Theatre.
The Madonna rumours were (sorta) true.

It's not going to be a selection of thoughtful but catchy pop nuggets, is it?

Unlikely but there should be one good song at least!
This is the cover, allegedly, it could well be fan-fannie made....
Hat, hat, gobble her t...
