Eurythmics Reforming For New Album, World Tour
Sweet dreams are indeed made of this.
After years of rumors and speculations, Dave Stewart and Annie
Lennox of the Eurythmics have announced that they have reformed
the seminal synthpop '80s group for a new album, the duo's first
since 1989's "We Too Are One."
In a statement issued by the Eurythmics' label, Arista Records, the
band indicated that it hoped to have a new studio album out this fall,
with an extensive world tour to follow.
A full-fledged Eurythmics reunion seems to have been building up for
the last two years, as Stewart and Lennox have made a series of
concert appearances together, the most recent coming at the 1999
Brit Awards in London in February (see "Eurythmics Back For
Brit Awards").
Before the recent announcement, representatives for Arista had
repeatedly balked at the notion that the performances might lead into
a new Eurythmics album, saying only that they were both at work on
solo projects, including Lennox's long-awaited follow-up 1992's
"Diva" LP. (In 1995, Lennox cut an album of covers, "Medusa.")
Since the split, Stewart has worked as a songwriter and producer
for the likes of Tom Petty, Imogen Heap, Bryan Ferry, and Natalie
Imbruglia. Stewart has also released several solo albums in his own
right, including last year's "Sly-Fi," and recently scored Robert
Altman's latest film, "Cookie's Fortune."
Stewart hinted at a potential Eurythmics reunion last year when he
talked with MTV News about his newest album and Internet
project, "Sly-Fi TV."
"Yeah, we've been getting along really well, Annie and I," Stewart
said. "We're now both really into arts and visuals.... It's been several
years since we last worked on a record together, so we're always
sort of bemused at how many people are still interested [in the
group]... but I know that sometime in the next two or three years,
there'll be something that'll come out. Something unique and new."
During the Eurythmics almost ten year run from 1980-1989, the
group scored a series of Top 20 hits, including "Sweet Dreams (Are
Made of This)," "Here Comes the Rain Again," "Would I Lie to
You," and "Missionary Man."
