Annie Lennox, the distinctive voice of Eurythmics, ventured into electronic dance music with this 2003 J Records promo 12-inch. A Thousand Beautiful Things finds her exploring sophisticated house and progressive house production. This is dance music made with intelligence and craft, her vocals set against elegant rolling synths and hypnotic rhythms. Accessible enough for those unfamiliar with dance music but substantive enough for electronic enthusiasts. The promo status makes original copies difficult to locate, adding collectible appeal. A fascinating detour from her core catalog that demonstrates her versatility and willingness to experiment with contemporary electronic forms.
