Medusa is the second solo studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter Annie Lennox, released in 1995. Following her success as one half of the internationally acclaimed duo Eurythmics, Lennox presents a collection of carefully selected cover versions, reinterpreted through her distinctive voice and sophisticated musical arrangements.

With its haunting melodies, elegant arrangements and Lennox's unmistakable voice, Medusa is a standout release in her solo catalogue.
Album Overview
Released in March 1995, Medusa features Annie Lennox's interpretations of songs originally recorded by a variety of artists, transforming familiar material into something distinctly her own.
The album's biggest success came with No More I Love You's, originally recorded by The Lover Speaks, which became an international hit and earned Lennox a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Other highlights include the atmospheric interpretation of Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade of Pale, Bob Marley's Waiting in Vain and the emotional Something So Right, originally recorded by Paul Simon.
Rather than simply reproducing the original recordings, Lennox brings a fresh perspective to each song through expressive vocals, layered production and atmospheric arrangements.
Medusa received widespread critical acclaim and became an international commercial success, further establishing Lennox as one of the most respected female vocalists of her generation.
