My opinion
Annie Lennox is one of my favourite singers. This CD is one of my favourite albums.
The music is very touching and intensive and the songs follow each other nicely. So you can always keep your mood to listen to this CD.
I also want to say that the voice of Annie Lennox is unique. It seems it can touch your heart and holds you to follow her singing.
I bought the CD in a local shop and the cost was £6. If you buy online at amazon.co.uk it will be less than £5.
Well worth the money.
Summary: ANNIE LENNOX is really a great singer.
Note: might be posted by myself on other websites under username happysh2009 or Blossom.
Advantages: Great to have all the best songs on one disc Disadvantages: none I can think of
