"/>★7800万张专辑销售、11座全英音乐奖、滚石杂志「史上百大杰出歌手」，奥斯卡、金球奖、葛莱美奖传奇女伶，1995年第二张录音室专辑
★收录电影「美国情缘」主题曲(Train In Vain)，重新诠释包括新浪潮团Love Speaks、英伦庞克先驱The Clash等十首经典老歌
继92年春以首张个人创作专辑『Diva』登上英国榜冠军、在美国创下逾两百万张的销售量，并提名三项葛莱美奖之后，以华丽冷艳的女伶形象成功建立起个人风格的前新浪潮二人组合－Eurythmics女主唱Annie Lennox，于95年再次挑战自我，推出了翻唱专辑『Medusa』(希腊神话中的蛇髮女妖，拥有用眼睛将人变石头的能力)，企图藉由突破窠臼的手法赋予老歌全新的生命，并让一些遭到遗忘的经典之作得到再次发光的机会。
「这张专辑中包含了我基于各种理由而深受其吸引的曲子，」Lennox表示，「它们并非依据我心目中任何主题或想法而被挑选，比起设计构思，它更仰赖的选曲方式是直觉。」也因此，在『Diva』中与Lennox合作愉快的制作人Stephen Lipson，这回以多样化的编曲风格，搭配絃乐、口琴、手风琴等丰富的器乐，试图衬托出Lennox深沉且富于磁性的迷人唱腔，而她自己则是担纲了键盘与长笛的演奏。
在这张登上英国榜第11名的白金专辑中，经Lennox重新诠释的老歌包括80年代英籍新浪潮乐团Lover Speaks的「No More "I Love You’s"」、Al Green写给灵魂歌手Sly Johnson的75年代表作「Take Me To The River」、英籍迷幻/前卫摇滚乐团Procol Harum的67年畅销单曲「A Whiter Shade Of Pale」、加拿大摇滚老将Neil Young的「Don’t Let It Bring You Down」、英伦庞克先驱The Clash的「Train In Vain」、摩城灵魂美声组合The Temptations的69年冠军曲「I Can’t Get Next to You」、苏格兰民谣摇滚乐团The Blue Nile的「Downtown Lights」、70年代纽约灵魂美声组合The Persuaders的「Thin Line Between Love & Hate」、雷鬼之父Bob Marley的名作「Waiting In Vain」，和纽约民谣摇滚巨擘Paul Simon的「Something So Right」等，想体验其不同音乐风情的乐迷们不容错过。
