Little Boots 'totally inspired' by Lennox

Little Boots has said that she was inspired by Annie Lennox when both artists recently recorded a performance for Later With Jools Holland.

The 'New In Town' singer wrote on her blog that Lennox's performance was so good that it was "ridiculous".

Little Boots said: "She did an acoustic version of 'Here Comes The Rain Again' and I literally nearly cried. She also played a song called 'Little Bird'.

"Her vocal range and tone is unbelievable. I was totally inspired and have been rinsing my iTunes account on her ever since."

She added: "Afterwards I went and knocked on her dressing room like a massive fan girl and managed to grab a pic and have a chat. She was so lovely and said if I ever needed any advice to give her a call!

"OK, so we didn't exactly trade numbers... but still, made me think what an amazing career and life of making music, and made me remember why I (attempt to) do this. Also, seriously hot frock."
