Teen solves centuries-old math problem
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- Scottish singer-songwriter Annie Lennox has signed with Universal Music Group for a long-term worldwide recording agreement, the company announced.
She is to release her new album, "A Christmas Cornucopia," Nov. 22 through Island Records in the United Kingdom and Decca Records in the United States and the rest of the world.
The album features Lennox's personal interpretations of some of her favorite Christmas carols, as well as an original composition called "Universal Child."
"I'm absolutely delighted to be working with Island Records on my upcoming recording," Lennox said in a statement Monday. "This album is something I've wanted to do for many years. It's a true labor of love, and I feel very fortunate to be in partnership with such a cutting-edge team, especially when I'm at a stage in my creativity when I want to diversify, and pursue my passion in my own individual way. I've never been part of a 'mold,' and Island (is) really supportive and appreciative of where I'm coming from. I want to make timeless music that people will love in many years to come ... and I'd like to think that 'A Christmas Cornucopia' is going to be of those recordings."
"There are precious few artists who redefine the boundaries of popular music like Annie," said Lucian Grainge, co-chief executive officer of Universal Music Group. "And we are delighted to be part of the next exciting chapter in her already storied career."
