Remember the 80s?!?

New Songs Enliven Eurythmics Best-Of
The Eurythmics have re-teamed to record two new songs for the upcoming retrospective √¨Ultimate Collection,√Æ due Nov. 8 via Arista. The tracks √¨I’ve Got a Life√Æ (the first single) and √¨Was It Just Another Love Affair?√Æ were recorded in Los Angeles and mark Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart’s first new material in more than five years.
√¨Annie and I didn’t plan to go in the studio — she was staying with me in Los Angeles and we seemed to spontaneously write and record some songs,√Æ Stewart says. √¨It was just like the old days, songs coming at lightning speed and recorded and mixed in a week.√Æ
