Bare is the third studio album by Annie Lennox, released in June 2003. It peaked at number 3 in the UK and number 4 on the US Billboard 200. The album has been certified Gold in both the UK and the US and was nominated for Best Pop Album at the 46th Grammy Awards.
The album was released with a DVD which included interviews and acoustic versions of songs by Lennox. The Japanese edition of the album features a version of Lennox's earlier hit "Cold" recorded live in Toronto.
No singles were released from the album in the UK, though "Pavement Cracks" and "Wonderful" were released as a CD maxi-single and a limited CD Single respectively in the US, while "A Thousand Beautiful Things" was released as a radio single only. No music videos were shot for the songs but all three singles were remixed extensively and all reached the No.1 position on the US Dance chart. However the live versions of "A Thousand Beautiful Things" and "Pavement Cracks" were made as music videos instead and the videos were later included on The Annie Lennox Collection DVD.
