SHE sounds like no one else; the voice of an angel adrift on a frozen lake under a full moon. Now in her 50s, Annie Lennox has sold 80 million records and is still writing and performing at the peak of her powers.

This 14-track collection concentrates on her solo years outside Eurythmics. With four solo albums to raid, Lennox has chosen wisely. It all begins with the joyous stomp, Little Bird, one of five tracks from her first solo album, Diva. Sing, the highlight from her 2007 album, Songs Of Mass Destruction, stands out in this collection, not least because of Lennox’s falsetto (it’s darn catchy too).

There are two new recordings, including a cover of Ash’s Shining Light, which is the single. Another cover is her lovely rendition of A Whiter Shade Of Pale. If she’d squeezed in Joni Mitchell’s Ladies Of The Canyon, this would have earned a fifth star.
