The title of Annie Lennox’s 1992 solo album was Diva. It was Lennox’s debut studio album as a solo artist after her internationally successful run with Eurythmics alongside Dave Stewart.
Released by RCA Records on April 6, 1992, Diva marked a major new chapter for Lennox. She worked with producer Stephen Lipson and wrote most of the album’s songs herself, rather than relying on the songwriting partnership that had defined Eurythmics. The record blended pop, soul and electronic elements while showcasing her distinctive contralto voice.
Diva produced several well-known singles, including “Why,” “Walking on Broken Glass,” “Precious” and “Little Bird.” It opened at number one on the UK Albums Chart and also became a major success internationally. A common mix-up is to confuse it with Medusa, Lennox’s second solo studio album, which followed in 1995 and consisted largely of cover versions.
