Annie Lennox Ditched by her Label
Legendary singer Annie Lennox has been dropped by her label, reports SoundGenerator.com.
Lennox is reportedly devastated by Sony BMG’s sudden dismissal of her, and perhaps considering retirement. “It feels like I’m spent, as if I’ve completely run out of energy,” she told the site. “I’m going to take my time over the coming months to figure out what to do with this freedom.”
Weeks before Lennox’s contract was due to expire, the label cut off communication. “They totally ignored me,” Lennox said. “It was bizarre. It was a kick in the teeth. They didn’t return my phone calls or emails for three weeks. I’m trying to find out what’s behind it.
“Probably a good thing I’m no longer with them – mild understatement. Unless it’s them trying to tell me something… Hello!”
The label used to call Lennox “one of the finest musical voices of the age.”
