Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LONDON, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- British singer Annie Lennox is using her new album to raise awareness of AIDS.
"Songs of Destruction," the Eurythmics frontwoman's fourth solo album, includes "Sing," on which Lennox is joined by 23 of her female colleagues -- including Madonna, Faith Hill, Celine Dion, Pink, Fergie, Bonnie Raitt and more. The song was inspired by Lennox's involvement in Nelson Mandela's 46664 and Treatment Action Campaign against AIDS.
"I deliberately set out to write a song that could be an anthem," Lennox explains. "HIV AIDS is on the rise for women, especially in the pandemic across the whole of the African continent. I thought perhaps I could be of benefit by writing a song and empowering those women who do not have an international voice."
Lennox says that everyone she approached to be part of the song responded "very positively."
Lennox begins a 16-show North American tour to promote "Songs of Mass Destruction" on Monday in San Diego.
