| Sexcrime (1984) - 1984 |
| When Eurythmics were asked to compose original music for director Michael Radford's film version of George Orwell's 1984, the result was a provocative and ground breaking electronica album that was years ahead of the ambient and techno movement. The hit U.K. single Sexcrime (1984) generated controversy in the United States resulting in little airplay. The song reflected 1984 author George Orwell's vision of a society where sexual relations are outlawed, but this concept was lost on radio programmers amid the U.S. Government's rock music indecency hearings in the early to mid 1980s. The intriguing video intersperses clips from the film with shots of Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart in full Orwellian guise. Chilling and appropriate, the video accurately reflects the desperation of Orwell's futuristic society. Directed by Chris Ashbrook |
| Julia - 1984 |
| One of the protagonists of Orwell's novel is Julia, who struggles with her feelings for Winston in a society where love is against the law. The second single from 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother) was Julia, a lovely and haunting song featuring impressive guitar work from Stewart and another mesmerizing vocal performance from Lennox. The video featured Annie alone, shot in close up, for the entire song. This intimate theme was later repeated in the video for Sinead O'Connor's hit single Nothing Compares 2 U.
