Wendy & Lisa reveal in an interview with Billboard they have formed a band with Annie Lennox with an album due out early in 2025

Annie Lennox has been seen on stage many times over the last 18 months with former Prince band members Wendy & Lisa, at Brandi Carlisle concerts, with Annie at The Grammy's in her moving tribute to Sinead O'Connor and with Joni Mitchel.

Well that relationship has taken a turn as Wendy & Lisa reveal in their interview with Billboard that they have in fact created a new band with Annie and are well on their way to recording their album which will hopefully make its debut early in 2025.

On that exciting news, here's the part of the interview where this is mentioned.

Wendy: Lisa and I and Annie Lennox have formed a band and we’re recording an album right now. We’re really excited about it. We’ve got some great songs — it’s just the three of us, we’re playing everything and she’s singing. We’re just in our little room and we’re making it happen. The three of us met each other because we were all at the Gorge in Washington state doing a Joni Mitchell gig together. The three of us fell in love with each other and now we’re making a record.

That’s amazing, especially because she doesn’t release music that often.

Wendy: She hasn’t released any new songs in 14 years. And these are all brand new, coming from her little brain and coming from our little brains. It’s just the three of us are making some really great music.

What’s the vibe of the music, or the genre, if you were to describe it?

Lisa: All I can say is most of it right now is really up. And it feels good. It’s because we’re happy and excited in the studio getting away from all the really difficult stuff that’s going on in the world. We’re really enjoying getting our rocks off in the studio. It’s pretty fun stuff.

Wendy: If you were to pick a genre, we can’t really find what this is. It feels… I guess you could call it alternative pop.

Lisa: That makes sense.

It’s wild that you had never met her until a year ago, since you both came up during the ‘80s.

Wendy: We crossed each other’s paths, we played in the same venues, blah, blah, blah. But we were always just like ships in the night. And then at the Gorge, it was like, “Oh my God, I’ve known you my whole life.” We were texting just now with each other, saying, “It’s been an entire year since we met each other, but it feels like we’ve known each other forever.” We’re like family. We have dinners every Friday night, we have luncheons every Sunday and we’re in the studio all the time making this record. We’re very excited about it.

Any sense of when it might come out?

Wendy: Well, she and the two of us had this conversation about that very thing. And it could be the beginning of next year. We have a whole summer of writing to do and then maybe fine-tuning things in the fall. Maybe we’d be ready to release it by the beginning of next year.
