She has made 4 albums why because she only every wanted to put out music she truly loved. Annie offered her fans only the best of best.  Money was never the driving force behind her music.

I adore Annie Lennox for so many reasons for me in college it was Annie Lennoxs Album Diva that got me through the many sleepless nights of endless sewing projects.  She has always spoke to me the soul in her voice is that of true grace.   The Medusa Album was released it as equaly as amazing earthy and soulful.   Bare her next album is a collection of great songs.
