Interview of Annie Lennox (1984)

Eurythmics on fame, image, and Bowie

Mid-1980s television catches Annie Lennox of Eurythmics after Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) has already redrawn the face of pop on MTV. She talks about fame, image, and the strange proximity of David Bowie’s theatre to her own sharp androgyny, while Dave Stewart’s guitar and synth beds sit just off-camera in the conversation.

Nothing here is soft branding. Lennox treats the orange crop and the stare as work tools, not costume jokes, and the clip still feels like a blueprint for how a duo could look louder than a band.
