Annie Lennox finally releases new album.

Much has changed since singer Annie Lennox released her last album, Medusa, five years ago. Teen pop has come and gone like a case of adolescent acne. Hip-hop dominates the airwaves. And some B-list actress named Jennifer Lopez has transformed herself into a chirping chart-topping monster called J. Lo.

Yes, much has changed since the appearance of Medusa, not least of which appears to be the reckoning of the passage of time. By most calendars 1995, the year that album came out, was eight years ago, not five.
