Little Bird-Annie Lennox
As you might have guessed by my music choices I really like strong female voices!
I really enjoy listening to strong women singers from my first listen to Billie Holiday at the age of 14 I was hooked! By that age I already loved Sarah Brightman and Kate Bush but that was just the start of my love affair of strong women in music! I soon discovered lots of different powerful women in music, I love alot of different types of music from blues, folk and rock the female voice just stuck me.
Some of my favourites are Carly Simon, Edith Piaf, Barbra Streisand, Janis Joplin, Maria Callas, Heart, Adele, Sarah Brightman, Dolly Parton, Dusty Springfield, Diana Ross, Amy Winehouse, Tina Turner, Cher, Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, and Stevie Nicks
It's not just the music I love from these powerhouses it's also there stories almost all of these women have struggles and hardship in there lives in one shape or another. Maybe they didn't fit in growing up, maybe there childhood was harsh, maybe there where in toxic relationships, maybe it was trying to get there big break in a male oriented industry but I am drawn to there voices and there stories.
While I was in a time in my life when I was discovering different types of music I hear the voice of Annie Lennox and I loved it! I ran out and bought her solo and Eurythmics albums. I just love her voice the way her image changes, I love how in the video for this song she has lookalikes in all her different personas from over the years.
This song make me smile I was listening to this song while I was pregnant on Oisìn and one of the first kicks I got was when listening to this song!
What ever she sings whether it's pop, ballads or dance she just gets it right.
