The Eurythmics - Peace (1999 Arista Records)

            Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart are back with a CD that calls from their heart. Lennox's vocals are powerful, and draw the listener in with every note. Stewart's guitar rhythms shape and guide the CD. From the first song to the last, every song broadcasts with full force marking the CD as an epic.

            The songs on Peace are diverse, and demonstrate both Lennox's and Stewart's beliefs in practice. The first song "17 Again" is almost a playful way of saying, "We're back!" Pay attention to Lennox's echo vocals, and Andy Wright's keyboards. "Beautiful Child" is a ballad, and one of the most dramatic pieces on the CD. It is a prayer from a mother to  a child that captures the essence of emotion. "Peace", the title track is a deterministic view of mankind and the future. What begins in that song continues in "Forever", and "Lifted" marking the end of the story. Throughout the CD Lennox's vocals are mixed, and echoed creating a storm of voices, and effects.

            Peace is a journey through a corrupt and dangerous world. Lennox and Stewart are your guides, and your hope. Peace, FEMMUSIC hopes, is just another beginning for many more epic CD's to come.
