She has had a successful career as both a solo artist and as the lead singer of the duo, Eurythmics, with David A. Stewart. Annie Lennox has ... been actively involved in many causes for a better world, such as advocating for human rights with Amnesty International; supporting children's rights through UNICEF and Save The Children; Fair Trade with Oxfam's Make Trade Fair program; environmental activism with organizations like Greenpeace; and in 2006 she received the prestigious Observer Ethical Award for Campaigner of the Year on behalf of her work with Make Poverty History.

Annie Lennox Photo After the 1990 breakup of British synth-pop sensa-tion Eurythmics, both of the duo's members -- singer Annie Lennox and guitarist/keyboardist Dave Stewart -- launched solo careers. While Stewart perpetrated a couple of atrocious rock records, Lennox let loose with the engrossing Diva.
It has been reported that for three months, between July and October of 2006, Lennox worked in Dave Stewart's home studio in Los Angeles recording her new album. The producer of the new album is Glen Ballard, not Steve Lipson who produced Lennox's previous three albums. Ballard co-owns the Hollywood Boulevard studio with Stewart and it was Stewart who suggested Ballard to Lennox. Lennox and Stewart have not collaborated together on the said new album.

While they were collaborating together in the Tourists, Lennox and Stewart became lovers. Soon, tensions within the band grew and by 1980, the pair had left the band to begin Eurythmics. During the early '80s, the sleek synth pop of Eurythmics became one of the most popular sounds of new wave, racking up a number of hits in both the U.S. and U.K., including "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," "Love Is a Stranger," "Who's That Girl," and "Here Comes the Rain Again." Midway through their career, Eurythmics began pursuing a harder, more straightforward rock & roll sound.
