I was a little put off by the cover, but I love Annie Lennox. I have more favorite songs from her than expected and "BARE" is the reason. This CD is full of emotion and yet has a pop like R&B mix that reminds me of dark taunts of feelings and sparkly silverlined days ahead. It's an artsy mix of sound. If you love Annie Lennox you will love this CD. Like "Pavement Cracks", it makes you want to play in the summer rain. "Honestly" reminds me of how I felt when I realized I was a fool in love, but the song makes me feel good with the play on words and intervals in chords and tones as she sings. "Bitter", "Erased" & "Twisted" are songs that I listen to on a daily bases to pump me up for work. "A Thousand Beautiful Things" is a song that is just beautiful in itself, makes me love, without necessarily thinking about being in love. You can think about a child, your significant other, or something that make you happy. This CD is WONDERFUL and did not get the respect it deserved on the charts. Buy it!Read full review
At one time or another, all of Annie's solo work has shown up at my local library to check out, so I have heard them all. The others are all right, but this one tops them by a wide margin. Other so called "diva's" aren't fit to tie Annie's shoes; her range of emotion, control, superior songwriting and just plain huevos leave the others in the dust! This cd is not car listening music as it is very dynamic - its true LISTENING music. Get yourself one!
This album was created by Annie Lennox when she was going through a rough time in her personal life and was facing the task of finding herself again and healing as well. It rumbles with emotion and at times makes me laugh with the poignancy of her lyrics. It runs the gamut from songs that make you want to get up and rock out to ones that make you tear up, like The Saddest Song I've Got. This is my favorite Annie Lennox album. I bought it when I too was goign through a rough time, only to discover that it was the impetus for the CD in the first place for AL. I highly recommend this CD.
