Annie Lennox is thrilled to announce the very special 10th anniversary reissue of her holiday album “A Christmas Cornucopia”.

“I’m absolutely delighted to be releasing the 10th Anniversary of A Christmas Cornucopia. 2020 has been an unprecedented year around the world… The carols on this album represent continuum – harking back to a time before modern technology, climate emergency, global pandemics, pollution, forest destruction, species extinction and all the challenges our world must urgently deal with in terms of crisis in sustainability. I hope this recording will at least offer some comfort and nostalgia, but also an awareness that political leaders, religious leaders and everyone around the world must face up to the question of how many more Christmases we have left to spend on this blighted earth.” – Annie Lennox

A Christmas Cornucopia is far from a saccharine packaged selection box. As befits its title, it offers an abundant track listing drawn from British, French and German traditions covering the well-known alongside more untrodden ground. It’s broad spectrum encompasses a wide range of narratives and emotions – from joyful and celebratory thorough melancholic and haunting to poignant and timely.

On “Lullay Lullay”, for example, Lennox draws direct links between the Nativity and the plight of Africa’s child soldiers. Vibrant but vintage, classic and contemporary, glorious but with a polemical edge, Annie Lennox’s A Christmas Cornucopia is no ordinary collection of seasonal songs.

This new release features remastered audio and one previously unreleased track, “Dido’s Lament” (accompanied by a single and video clip to be released on November 12th).

In addition, you can pre-order the CD, vinyl, and a teacup and tea towel collector’s set at Annie’s store here.  You can also pre-save on Spotify and pre-add on Apple Music.  

The album is released November 20, 2020.  Complete details at Annie’s official site here.
