Annie Lennox's daughter tells of recording music with mum and boyfriend

Lola Lennox is following in her mother's footsteps as the pair are collaborating for her latest single.

Lola, 30, is the daughter of Eurythmics legend Annie Lennox. Aberdeen born Annie, 67, is collaborating with her daughter as a producer on her latest EP, as well as Lola's boyfriend Braeden Wright, who co-writes her songs.

“I definitely can have anxious moments, where I’m stressed... overwhelmed,” Lola tells the Mirror. “But it’s not that we are battling against each other in any way. We’re good at separating the personal and the professional and having a bit of a boundary with it.

“One of the nice things about being in a three is that if one of us offers an idea, and it doesn’t quite work, the other two people will say: ‘Not sure we’re into that.’ Because you have to throw spaghetti at the wall - sometimes it sticks, sometimes it doesn’t.”

The trio spent time making music together during lockdown. Lola continues: “Sometimes, with families, you think there might be tensions, but with us, it’s actually so nice. And we’ve gotten to know, a new dimension of each other and I get to witness her pulling ideas out.”

Mum Annie taught Lola to have strength in her vision - so she has no qualms about overruling creative decisions. “I always respect her perspective, so I’ll always take in what she has to say,” says Lola. “But if there’s something that I’m like no, I think I know I want to do independently, then I’ll do that.”

This isn't the first time that Annie and her daughter have collaborated on music together. The pair previously worked on Lola's fourth single, Wherever You Go, which was accompanied by a music video shot in LA, with beautiful scenes of a road trip, dancing in the dark streets of the city and watching the sunrise.

Lola Lennox’s new single Want More is out Friday, followed by her debut EP out in October.
