LOS ANGELES, July 1 — An employee at a Los Angeles-based radio station has apparently just discovered Annie Lennox, and thinks she has the kind of bright future ahead of her that sweet dreams are made of.

Annie Lennox shared a message from a radio station talent scout who asked the former Eurythmics lead singer and four-time Grammy winner and 15-time nominee to submit her latest MP3 single for its consideration.

“I really like what I heard,” writes the talent scout only known as Kylie, who explains she “came across Lennox’s music online” and that she “find(s) artists who I think have potential and get them in rotation on our station”.

“I think I’m in with a chance,” joked Lennox on Facebook, after sharing the letter with her followers.

In the document, the name of the Los Angeles-based radio station has been blacked out, and the only identifiers are Kylie as new music coordinator and Glenn as programme director.

Kylie then goes on to ask about the “support campaign” Lennox currently has for latest single.

“I only ask because we are connected to an artist development firm that can also get you onto 150 radio stations worldwide and provide support for press, video, retail, and licensing. The best part is, if they really like your music, they’ll cover all of the marketing expenses.

“Please let them know Kylie referred you and you should be in. Let me know your thoughts and be sure to send me that MP3!”

Lennox later published a follow-up post to warn other artists of scams.

“Whilst it’s obviously a bit of fun sharing the email I received telling me I had ‘potential’, sadly up and coming musicians are sent these kinds of scams every day. My digital team receive hundreds of them every year,” Lennox wrote.

“I’d urge any new (or indeed established) artists to send that kind of email straight to your trash. Companies reaching out cold to help you, sending emails that are clearly formulaic with links asking for cash to upload your tracks are a very dodgy business indeed and not one I want to see anyone fall foul of.”
