2010 studio album by Annie Lennox
A Christmas Cornucopia Christmas album , by Scottish singer-songwriter Annie Lennox , released in November 2010. It was Lennox's first album after signing to the Universal Music Group (Island Records in the UK, Decca in the US and Canada) following her departure from Sony BMG , which had been her label for almost 30 years.
The album is a collection of Lennox's favourite Christmas songs, though includes one original track written by Lennox, "Universal Child ", which was released digitally as a single on 12 October 2010. A music video for Lennox's version of the classic Christmas carol "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" premiered on 4 November 2010, which was released as the second digital single from the album.
A tenth anniversary special edition of the album was released on 20 November 2020 including a new recording, "Dido's Lament ".[3]
