Fingernail Moon ===== "Anybody my age turning on MTV and seeing Annie Lennox sing 'Sweet
Dreams' — that was enough right there," says Rob Thomas. "There was
something so soulful in the way she sang songs like 'Walking on Broken
Glass.' " Lennox combines a childhood love of Motown with an
operatically powerful voice — crystalline in tone, yet sultry. She
introduced R&B to New Wave with Eurythmics, and in her solo career,
she invented a sort of New Age soul, based around shimmering synths,
horn blasts and, most important, layer upon layer of that voice. "Annie
is amazingly versatile," says Thomas. "She can sound like a beautiful
angel — or she can make it sound like she's gargling glass. A great
singer is somebody who makes you believe what they're saying, and you
always believe Annie." =Rollingstone
