Annie Lennox has announced a 10th anniversary reissue of 'A Christmas Cornucopia'.
The Eurythmics star's festive solo record will be re-released on November 20 via Island Records on CD, vinyl and digitally, repackaged with a new tracklist and new artwork.
Containing reimagined traditional festive songs alongside Lennox's original composition Universal Child, the newly remastered version will also come with a previously unreleased track, Dido's Lament, written by Henry Purcell in the 17th century. It'll arrive on November 10 followed by a video two days later. Lennox said:
"I'm absolutely delighted to be releasing the 10th Anniversary of 'A Christmas Cornucopia'. 2020 has been an unprecedented year around the world… The carols on this album represent continuum – harking back to a time before modern technology, climate emergency, global pandemics, pollution, forest destruction, species extinction and all the challenges our world must urgently deal with in terms of crisis in sustainability.
"I hope this recording will at least offer some comfort and nostalgia, but also an awareness that political leaders, religious leaders and everyone around the world must face up to the question of how many more Christmases we have left to spend on this blighted earth."
