Lennox signs to new label

ANNIE Lennox has quit her record label after 30 years to launch an assault on the charts for the Christmas number one.

The Scottish singer will release her next album, a collection of “dark” covers of Christmas carols, through Amy Winehouse’s label Island Records.

Lennox, who has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide with the Eurythmics and as a solo singer, has left music giant Sony and has signed a contract with Universal Music Group.
