ANNIE LENNOX ‘SING’(REMIXES)
November 29th, 2007
Annie Lennox has teamed up with 23 of the world’s most acclaimed female superstar voices for the charity record Sing, to raise money and awareness for the HIV/AIDS organisation, Treatment Action Campaign (TAC). The original track, already available to download through all online retailers; is now accompanied by special remixes available starting Tuesday, November 27th only at iTunes in anticipation of WORLD AIDS DAY - SATURDAY 1st DECEMBER. The track is taken from Annie’s new critically-acclaimed album Songs of Mass Destruction.
Annie Lennox recently spent 2 weeks in South Africa with the TAC, recording the real situation millions are facing every day, so the people unaware of the pandemic might gain some understanding. There are few resources to help medicate sufferers or educate the people about the prevention of HIV/AIDS. The trip will be documented across online, TV and print media produced by Annie Lennox herself.
Included among the group of superstar voices are TAC local activist members own vocal group, known as “The Generics”, whose CD of social / political activist songs inspired Annie to make Sing a reality. Annie then personally approached each of the female artists by letter and the recordings were made all over the world in each artist local studio over the spring of 2007.
TAC was founded on 10 December 1998 in Cape Town, South Africa. They campaign for treatment for people with HIV and to reduce new HIV infections. Their efforts have resulted in many life-saving interventions, including the implementation of country-wide mother-to-child transmission prevention and antiretroviral treatment programmes. The TAC also runs a treatment literacy campaign: this is a training programme on the science of HIV treatment and prevention.
