Annie Lennox’s singer-songwriter daughter has weighed into the nepo baby debate.
Lola Lennox, 32, is the eldest of Scottish singer and former Eurythmics lead vocalist Annie’s two daughters, whom she shares with Israeli film producer ex-husband Uri Fruchtmann.
She first started learning piano at the age of seven and as a teenager would creep down to her parents basement at their home in London to record songs she had written.
Lola has since performed with her mother on stage a number of times and released her debut single In the Wild back in 2020, followed by a handful of other singles.
In April, she put out her debut EP entitled Dreamer, with the five-track record produced by her boyfriend Braeden Wright and executively produced by Annie.
Speaking to Issue 3 of Amazing magazine, she revealed what it was like growing up with the music icon and how when it comes to music Annie might be her mother, but it’s professional in the studio.
“I mean, first and foremost, she’s my mum before she is the Annie Lennox enigma that everybody knows,” she said.
“Growing up was actually a very family-oriented experience and we have always had a really close relationship.
“But when you’re looking at the music I feel really lucky to have been able to witness such a strong female role model in action and also see how much purpose it gave her.”
She added: “Working with them [Annie and Wright] is a little unconventional, but we’re a great team and we balance each other’s opinions.
“It’s been a really special way to get to know each other as creators. Most of the time is spent producing; that is when you have to go really bloody deep.
“We don’t butt heads. We’re conscious that we have to work as a team and we’ve kind of put the family dynamic to the side, and we work with professional respect for each person, but we’re more honest about our emotions.
