Annie Lennox and Dave Grohl

Jo chats to iconic pop star Annie Lennox and rock star Dave Grohl.

Jo chats to the iconic pop star Annie Lennox about the 10 year anniversary edition of her sixth solo album, A Christmas Cornucopia.

She is releasing a digitally remastered version of her sixth solo album, A Christmas Cornucopia - a collection of inspired interpretations of traditional festive songs, rounded out by a Lennox composition, 鈥淯niversal Child鈥�.

The 2020 re-issue marks its 10 year anniversary and will feature a brand new, previously unreleased track, 鈥淒ido鈥檚 Lament鈥�, a new tracklisting, and new artwork.

鈥淚鈥檓 absolutely delighted to be releasing the 10th Anniversary of A Christmas Cornucopia. 2020 has been an unprecedented year around the world鈥� 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.鈥� - Annie Lennox

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl chats to Jo about the band鈥檚 tenth studio album, Medicine At Midnight, which will be released this coming February, and the first track to be released from it, Shame Shame.

The album, produced by Greg Kurstin (who also produced Concrete and Gold), was recorded in the valley just outside of LA in a private home.
