Today's Shelf Pull: Annie Lennox, Control With a Red Feather

Annie Lennox's Diva is on the shelf today: a 1992 LP where pop polish, soul pressure and one very steady voice all behave as if they have paid rent.

Some records arrive asking to be liked.

Diva arrives with a look that suggests liking it is very much your own business.

Annie Lennox is on the shelf today, and the sleeve is doing half the talking before the record has even left the counter. Red feathers, crown, cool stare, the title sitting there in green as if it has already won the argument. It is glamorous, yes, but not in the harmless way. This is glamour with a locked door somewhere behind it.

That suits the album.
