Eurythmics: an imperishable influence

Annie Lennox and her partner Dave Stewart met in 1975 and founded the Eurythmics in 1980. With their unique mix of synth pop and catchy melodies, they spoke the music scene. She catapulted her album "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" in 1983 to the top of the charts. It gained immense popularity, especially thanks to the iconic music video that showed Lennox in a surrealistic light. The combination of their striking old voice and Stewarts innovative production style became their trademark, as the band continued with other hits such as "Here Comes The Rain Again" and "Love is a Stranger". Her musical journey was not only an artistic success, but also an influence on many subsequent artists, as documented in wikipedia

Although Lennox has appeared less in public in recent years, her voice in the struggle for social justice remains unanswered. Her commitment to humanitarian concerns, especially in the area of ​​HIV/AIDS and women's rights, was recognized in 2011 with the Order of the British Empire (OBE). On March 6, 2025, she will give a benefit concert in the Royal Albert Hall in London under the title "Sisters: Annie Lennox and Friends" to collect money for her organization The Circle, which is committed to the rights of women and girls.
