		MEDUSA, her second release, takes a different tack.
		By recording an album of cover songs, Lennox gets to do what she does best--interpret lyrics and deliver the dramatic impact of a song.
		Rolling Stone (4/20/95, p.70) - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...The songs on MEDUSA are fine showcases for [Annie Lennox's] wistful, understated elegance, her ability to milk a lyric for all its beauty and poignancy without resorting to histrionics..."

	ARENA Pride reviews and MP3
		I bought this album after I had heard Arena’s subsequent albums “The visitor” and “Immortal?” Almost inevitably, it is not quite up to the standard of these albums, which were a natural development of the band’s music.
		The music on this album is a continuation of the style and format Arena used for their great debut album 'Songs from the lions cage' (which i bought shortly after this album) heavy bombastic symphonic rock songs separated by quieter musical interludes (The crying for help songs).
		The second album by Arena is constructed by the same type as the previous one: the tracks nos 2, 4, 6 and 8 are the continuing story of the same old “Crying For Help”-parts, but other 5 compositions are independent musical pieces.

	Eurythmistan - Annie Lennox: Bare, Annies thoughts on the album 'Bare'
		One of the finest musical voices of the age, Annie Lennox is celebrated as an innovator, an iconoclast, and a symbol of enduring excellence within a culture too often fixated on the lightweight and the new.
		Her first collection of solo, self-written material since 1992's Diva, its 11 tracks show her to have reached a new level of maturity both as a singer and as a writer.
		Produced by her frequent collaborator Stephen Lipson, and the long-awaited follow-up to Medusa, 1995's collection of interpretations, it leads us through the painful, sometimes despairing territory of a relationship breakdown with insight and a rare originality of expression.

	The Ladies Room
		While not as prolific as her fans would wish, Karla has continued to be active as a performer and songwriter, and in recent years has partnered again with old friends Kenny Edwards and Wendy Waldman in a revival of their early 70's group called Bryndle.
		Her solo album, Hawks and Herons (available on cassette from Rounder Records) is a wonderful selection of mostly original songs, accompanied on occasion by the great Howard Levy on harmonica, a blending of soaring melody that really works.
		I chose two very different albums to show how her style developed from the girl-with-a-guitar to a sophisticated artist.

	Amazon.com: Medusa: Music: Annie Lennox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		After enjoying her previous solo album "Diva", I decided this could be a winner as well.
		It's actually more than a winner, a masterpiece is what this album is. A voice like Annie's is hard to beat, and this album features re-workings of classics such as 'Don't let it bring you down' (Neil Young) and Paul Simon's 'Something so Right'.
		Back in 1995 when it was released, it didn't do very well on the charts and that surprised me - it richly deserved a number one album placement.

		Her 1992 debut album, Diva, was an unambiguous commercial and critical success: Lennox's profile was boosted by Diva's singles, numerous awards and a soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 movie Dracula.
		This profile decreased due to her somewhat sparse output although she continued to be a major figure in popular music.
		Medusa was released three years after Diva and sold well.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Medusa Rehash Right On
		Albums that feature cover versions of other people's songs seem to be both the easiest and the most difficult to pull off.
		With her latest album, Medusa, chameleon-like pop diva Annie Lennox succeeds brilliantly in transforming old songs into new works of art.
		The richness of Lennox's voice is also on display in her rendition of "Downtown Lights." The singer shows her amazing vocal range in her blue-eyed soul version of the Al Green classic "Take Me to the River." On another Motown classic, "Can't Get Next to You," she brings in a Spanish guitar to interesting effect.

	eBay - Medusa Reviews
		Medusa, her sophomore CD, was released in 1995, and further validated her musical popularity through its 1996 Grammy...
		The album was released in two very different guises, one as a standard album, the other as a deluxe two-disc set, which included the "Medusa" album and a recording of her 1995 central park concert.
		Her range is quite impressive on this album, which far outclasses her work with the Eurythmics.

	Medusa Cyclone, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
		Medusa Cyclone is the brainchild of one Keir McDonald.
		Their next 7" would prove to be their last ("Wristwatch Walk" b/w "Perfect World"), as Keir decided to work solo under the moniker Medusa Cyclone, while Girard (who was a librarian at one point) decided to do research on UFO mysteries and altered consciousness.
		Medusa Cyclone's 1995 full-length debut (on Third Gear) was essentially a compilation of the Manta Ray Fleet singles with several new songs sprinkled in.

	Medusa (Album)
		The much anticipated follow up to 'Diva' showcased no new material from Annie, who decided instead, to do an album devoted to covers of her favourite songs.
		The album was also released as a Special Edition featuring tracks from Lennox's 'In The Park' concert from New York.
		Some releases include a bonus track (in the same vain as 'Diva') with 'Heaven' being added.

	The Soundtrack of My Life
		Their self-titled debut album put them on the map with several hits, including “Tearin’ Up My Heart,” “I Want You Back” and the rather lame ballad “(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You,” but they didn’t fully hit their stride until the masterpiece release No Strings Attached in 2000.
		Also notable is the curious gender-neutral tone that is maintained throughout, allowing the song to speak for a variety of relationships that fall outside the traditional realm of guy, girl and Jesus.
		The sound has such a dreamy, ethereal presence that helps to make the album the masterpiece it is. Both the lyrics and all of the noises that make up this track seem somehow...

	PlanetLightworker - July 2003 - Music Reviews by Avenescent
		Besides having an almost four octave range to his voice, his current work is in the synthesis of internal alchemy as a means to heighten awareness and to develop spiritual illumination.
		Bare is her first album since 1995’s “Medusa,” and first original work since 1992's "Diva." Annie, now 48, says Bare is about sorrow and heartbreak and facing the "negative emotions" that we have come to call our shadow self.
		The melodies are brushed brightly lush or broadly textured with rhythmic piano or harmonica riffs and a renewed sense of vitality.

	Billy Joel — Pop Stops for 10/11/01 by John Everson
		It’s been eight years since Billy Joel’s last studio album, River of Dreams, and his subsequent announcement that he would be retiring from "pop" music to work on something with a bit more substance.
		century romantic era, and in keeping with the roots of "classic" classical, the album was recorded in Vienna on a Steinway grand piano.
		In many ways, this album proves that Joel is our generation’s Gershwin — a composer able to write both instantly catchy pop tunes as well as deeper, more complex variations on a theme.

	Annie Lennox Medusa + Live Japan DOUBLE CD (344457)
		Known as a culture for elaborate and excessive packaging, their approach to the CD album is no exception.
		In recent years we have seen the obi-strip occasionally replaced with a sleeve sticker, no less attractive and equally unique to the Japanese pressing.
		Japanese CD albums often benefit from extra music and new video-style content, to further entice the Japanese public to buy their native release and not an import.

	EDDIE KONCZAL: My 50 favorite albums
		When I went to buy my first Yes album, for some reason I picked "Close to the Edge." Although (and perhaps because) I had never heard any of the songs on this album before, I was completely blown away.
		While the album functions brilliantly as a complete work, the diversity of the individual tracks is astonishing.
		Superficially a concept album about a Japanese girl who battles evil robots, "Yoshimi" is really a meditation about life and death, and the need for mortal humans to seize the moment.

		Howlett has now spoken out about the record, which he claims is an intentional return to the band’s early, rougher sound.
		As for the reason why the album has taken so long, Howlett simply replied, "It didn't take seven years [to make this record], it took one year.

	Medusa - Annie Lennox - Song Listings
		The critics savaged Annie Lennox's sophomore effort when it first came out, and it's easy to see why: it's not that an all-covers album was a bad idea, but she did pick some rather large shoes to fill and she did kind of run roughshod over the songs themselves, taking gritty material by the likes...
		Very strong and powerful album, full of art and amazing vocals, cool and original lyrics and sounds.
		Shows a very unique and original way of doing an album, Annie demostrates wonderful vocals and her artistc side with very cool sureal songs and videos.

	Lennox bares her old-school soul / She plays diva in Orpheum show
		On June 10, the former Eurythmics chanteuse will release "Bare," her first solo CD since her 1995 covers album "Medusa" and her first batch of original songs in 11 years -- though she reunited briefly with Dave Stewart for a Eurythmics album, "Peace," and a tour in 1999.
		Her combination of new-wave class and old-school soul has been missed, and her San Francisco fans let her know it with a series of ovations that rocked the house.
		Throughout, Lennox proved that her formidable voice remains as captivating as it did when the Eurythmics ruled the '80s pop charts, conveying longing, lust, jealousy and desolation in combinations as varied as the singer's soul-inspired phrasing.
