But they were also stating fact: Lennox is a diva in the purest sense of the word, gifted with a vocal talent that transcends fashion and musical fortune. On June 10, the former Eurythmics chanteuse will release "Bare," her first solo CD since her 1995 covers album "Medusa" and her first batch of original songs in 11 years -- though she reunited briefly with Dave Stewart for a Eurythmics album, "Peace," and a tour in 1999. Her combination of new-wave class and old-school soul has been missed, and her San Francisco fans let her know it with a series of ovations that rocked the house. The final stop of Lennox's monthlong U.S. tour, the Orpheum show found singer and audience uniting in an emotional trip that spanned the wicked elation of old favorites like "I Need a Man" and the cool desolation of "Wonderful." The 110-minute set drew from every stage of Lennox's career, beginning with selections from "Medusa" and ending with an encore of hits that included "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and "Missionary Man." Throughout, Lennox proved that her formidable voice remains as captivating as it did when the Eurythmics ruled the '80s pop charts, conveying longing, lust, jealousy and desolation in combinations as varied as the singer's soul-inspired phrasing. Backed by a scrim that flashed images and snippets of text, Lennox and her five-piece band deftly reworked past songs and introduced new material in a series of solemn ballads and slow jams. Some numbers conveyed a single mood, as when Lennox brought out the most melancholy aspects of "Here Comes the Rain Again" by reworking it as a one-woman piano piece. Others played like emotional journeys: "Walking on Broken Glass" rose from a pensive hymn to a stirring vocal workout; a cover of Neil Young's "Don't Let It Bring You Down" shifted from sorrowful meditation to inspirational clarion call; "Pavement Cracks" shifted gears midway from existential solo piece to a group dance-floor hoedown. An acoustic rendition of "Who's That Girl?" turned from jealousy to self-reflection as photographs of Lennox flashed across the screen, and singer and band riffed off each other in an improvisational call-and-response. For "Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves," Lennox joined her three excellent backup singers -- Carol Kenyon, Beverly Skeete and Claudia Fontaine -- in a display of vocal pyrotechnics that demonstrated the song's messages of strength and self-sufficiency in powerful aural terms. When Lennox closed the night with "Why," a scathing chronicle of love gone wrong from "Diva," she managed to turn it into a declaration of endurance without changing a word. "These are the contents of my head/ And these are the years that we have spent/ And this is what they represent," she decreed in a crescendo that sent tremors through the sound system. For Lennox, the past is alive and undeniable, but so is she, and she's moving on with the survival instincts of a born diva. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/05/02/DD303637.DTL |
