Subject: RE: Awful schmaltz from Annie Lennox (Christmas) From: katlaughing Date: 27 Nov 10 - 05:55 PM Not exactly what I expect from her nor from the songs, but I guess it works in a strange way. She sounds as though she's really stretching which makes her tough voice sound even rougher, imo. Not a bad thing, it works for her well-known repertoire, but it's very different for a carol. I wouldn't call it awful and I didn't hear anything terribly over-produced, unless it's what they did with her voice. It is kinda schmaltzy, though.:-) |

Subject: RE: Awful schmaltz from Annie Lennox (Christmas) From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Nov 10 - 05:38 PM Well, Richard, I was prepared to disagree with you because I love Christmas carols and I like Annie Lennox, but you may well be right in this instance. The album is A Christmas Cornucopia, and you can get previews and information at http://www.annielennox.com/. You can listen to the album on Spotify. More at YouTube. "Overproduced" is the first word that comes to my mind. Still, it has a certain charm.... -Joe- |
Subject: Awful schmaltz from Annie Lennox From: GUEST, Richard Bridge Date: 27 Nov 10 - 05:30 PM I just heard the TV ad for the Annie Lennox Xmas Album. OMFG. A woman who was a musical icon, one of the finest singers of her period - reduced to singing that crap. A tragedy of Greek dimensions. |
