In a career that has spanned over 25 years, including the 15 years
since Annie released her first solo album, Diva, no other British female
artist has achieved so much recognition. Over 78 million in global sales,
and 33 hit singles compliment the 4 Grammies, 11 BRITS, 5 Ivor Novellos,
the Oscar, and the 2 Golden Globes amongst other accolades.
"Songs Of Mass Destruction" showcases an artist who is unafraid of
pushing boundaries and challenging herself. Annie delivers thought
provoking and intelligent lyrics matched with her distinctive pop sound.
She says that this album is the closest she's been so far to that
authentically raw and emotional place, infused with the contrasts of
beauty, yearning and sadness. The result, from the haunting introductory
song, 'Dark Road' to the closing epic, 'Fingernail Moon', is a sumptuous
musical soundscape within which Annie's soulful voice shines and soars.
In addition to being an incredibly successful artist, Annie is a
celebrated activist and humanitarian. The new album features the soaring
and powerful feminist anthem 'Sing', born out of Annie's involvement with
Nelson Mandela's 46664 and Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) -- organizations
fighting for human rights, education and health care for those affected by
the HIV AIDS virus. The track 'Sing' features 23 of the most recognized and
successful female solo artists in the world, invited by Annie, to raise
awareness and finances for TAC initiatives. Included among the group are
superstars such as Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Celine Dion, Fergie, Faith
Hill, Pink, Dido, Gladys Knight, kd Lang, Angelique Kidjo, Bonnie Raitt,
Shakira, Melissa Etheridge, Anastasia, Joss Stone, KT Tunstall and many
others, as well as TAC activist members own vocal group known as 'The
Genetics', whose CD of music inspired Annie to make 'Sing' a reality.
