Interview with Annie Lennox
Annie Lennox talks about her book Retrospective, looking back on her career with Eurhythmics and how it was shaped by the times she was living in. She comments on how her androgynous look grew naturally out of wearing second-hand clothes in the era of punk and exploring and challenging feminine stereotypes. She explains how the duo’s most famous song Sweet Dreams was composed in a time of crisis when they had no money and it seemed that nothing would ever happen. It was the song that turned their fortunes around and created success out of their feelings of failure.
