The group released three albums before breaking up.\n• Eurythmics released seven albums and 33 singles from 1981 to 1999. Seven of the LPs made the Top 10 in their native UK, and four of them reached the Top 20 in the US. The duo had nine Top 10 singles in the UK and three in the US, including the No. 1 (US) hit “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).”\n• Lennox released her solo debut, Diva, in 1992. The album topped the charts in the UK and featured the Top 10 singles “Why” and “Walking on Broken Glass.”\n• Her 1995 sophomore effort, Medusa, marked her second No. 1 album in the UK. The single “No More I Love You’s” became her biggest hit in the UK, reaching No. 2.\n• In 2004, Lennox’s song “Into the West” won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song and a Grammy for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. The tune appeared in The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. She also contributed “Love Song for a Vampire” to Francis Ford Coppola’s 1993 film Bram Stoker’s Dracula.\n• She has won four Grammys (including two with Eurythmics) and eight Brit Awards, including a record six for Best British Female Artist. \n• In addition to pop hits, Lennox topped Billboard’s Jazz Albums chart in 2014 with Nostalgia, an album of standards that had influenced her.\n"}},{"id":"395777","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/395777?l=en-US","attributes":{"bornOrFormed":"1980","genreNames":["Pop"],"editorialArtwork":{"originalFlowcaseBrick":{"width":1778,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features3/v4/6f/0a/4e/6f0a4eed-6a6f-aecd-a976-5a1b0da37629/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":600,"textColor3":"3f3e3e","textColor2":"1b1614","textColor4":"42403f","textColor1":"161414","bgColor":"e1e6e9","hasP3":false}},"origin":"London, England","name":"Eurythmics","hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":1400,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/72/2b/78/722b78dd-b493-ec06-0537-714f5b448317/mzl.lpryjhzo.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1400,"textColor3":"393333","textColor2":"482715","textColor4":"6c5243","textColor1":"080000","bgColor":"ffffff","recommendedCropCodes":["va","vb"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"artwork":{"width":1400,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/72/2b/78/722b78dd-b493-ec06-0537-714f5b448317/mzl.lpryjhzo.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1400,"textColor3":"393333","textColor2":"482715","textColor4":"6c5243","textColor1":"080000","bgColor":"ffffff","hasP3":false},"isGroup":true,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/eurythmics/395777","artistBio":"Eurythmics invented their very own sound, a fusion of chilly synth-pop with hot-blooded soul. The enduring power of a handful of their hits—along with singer Annie Lennox’s striking, gender-bending self-presentation—made them one of New Wave’s most iconic acts. But the duo of Lennox and Dave Stewart never fit comfortably into any box, not even one of their own making. The two met in London in the mid-’70s, fell in love, and formed a group called The Tourists, putting out three albums of punkish power pop between 1979 and 1980. When the group split up, the pair—now friends—reformed as Eurythmics. On their debut album, 1981’s adventurous In the Garden, they fused post-punk with Krautrock, assisted by Can’s Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit. They came into their own with 1983’s Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This): Pairing Lennox’s husky, powerhouse voice with bass synths and drum machine, the title track is a spellbinding summation of the group’s eerie power. They defied the sophomore slump with the mournful, string-kissed “Here Comes the Rain Again,” off Touch, their second album that year. Where that song proved their pop-savvy, other tracks branched into spindly electro-funk, Caribbean rhythms, and smoldering torch songs. Eurythmics would display a similar range on four more LPs (futuristic dance pop, adult-contemporary ballads, amped-up soul) and the 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother) soundtrack before adjourning to pursue solo careers, then reuniting for 1999’s Peace. Their legacy—beyond those two or three songs that are as indelible as anything the ’80s gave us—is a songbook that’s as versatile as it is emotional."}},{"id":"22677","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/22677?l=en-US","attributes":{"bornOrFormed":"November 8, 1949","genreNames":["Rock"],"editorialArtwork":{"storeFlowcase":{"width":4320,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features69/v4/47/6b/41/476b4147-06e3-83e6-6548-f8f2a08bc82d/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1080,"textColor3":"d39556","textColor2":"e57536","textColor4":"c1602c","textColor1":"fcb86b","bgColor":"310d04","hasP3":false},"subscriptionHero":{"width":4320,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features49/v4/54/28/1d/54281d60-09ad-984b-74df-2c262c7482fa/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1080,"textColor3":"d5a075","textColor2":"f1a85d","textColor4":"cb894b","textColor1":"ffc592","bgColor":"310d04","hasP3":false},"bannerUber":{"width":4320,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features69/v4/5b/da/16/5bda16ea-e328-7650-3100-e63ecfcc8c96/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1080,"textColor3":"d5a075","textColor2":"f1a85d","textColor4":"cb894b","textColor1":"ffc592","bgColor":"310d04","hasP3":false}},"origin":"Burbank, CA","name":"Bonnie Raitt","hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":1500,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music126/v4/28/1e/c7/281ec784-82b7-fe11-4377-9a0277d7fcd6/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1500,"textColor3":"342727","textColor2":"32190a","textColor4":"49372c","textColor1":"170404","bgColor":"a7b0b7","recommendedCropCodes":["va","vb"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"artwork":{"width":1500,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music126/v4/28/1e/c7/281ec784-82b7-fe11-4377-9a0277d7fcd6/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1500,"textColor3":"342727","textColor2":"32190a","textColor4":"49372c","textColor1":"170404","bgColor":"a7b0b7","hasP3":false},"isGroup":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/bonnie-raitt/22677","artistBio":"By the time Bonnie Raitt found worldwide success with 1989's Nick of Time, the songwriter and master slide guitarist had already recorded 10 albums over two decades. A pioneering figure in roots rock who spent her early years apprenticing with bluesmen like Mississippi Fred McDowell, Raitt, who was born in Burbank, California, in 1949, seemed to have stepped out of an imagined past, synthesizing strains of blues, folk, rock, and country in ways that felt both effortless and fresh. She does it all on 1972's Give It Up, which spans raucous New Orleans-style R&B (\"Give It Up or Let Me Go\") and contemplative ballads (\"Nothing Seems to Matter\"), bare-bones blues (\"Love Me Like a Man\") and string-heavy folk (\"Too Long at the Fair\"), with Raitt equally at home in each. She's since left her mark on artists covering all sorts of terrain—from Susan Tedeschi and Joss Stone to Adele and Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard. Or, as blues legend B.B. King said of Raitt's impact in one of his last interviews: \"I came up in a macho world and never thought I'd ever declare the best living slide guitarist to be a woman.

\nRaised near the shipyards in working-class Northumberland, England, the artist born Gordon Sumner started his career as a schoolteacher, playing bass in jazz bands by night before cofounding The Police in 1977. (His nickname came from a black-and-yellow-striped sweater he used to wear to gigs.) Though not a punk band per se, The Police—like the Pretenders and Elvis Costello—brought punk energy into the pop realm as the ’70s ticked over into the ’80s, creating a nimble hybrid of jazz, reggae, and rock, whose prime examples (“Roxanne,” “Message in a Bottle,” “Don’t Stand So Close to Me,” “De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da”) helped define what we know as New Wave.
\nSting’s solo career, which he launched in the mid-’80s, proved even more varied, spanning everything from jazz-pop fusion (The Dream of the Blue Turtles) to Elizabethan lute music (Songs from the Labyrinth) to collaborations with Mary J. Blige and sitar player Anoushka Shankar (Sacred Love), and continuing at a regular clip well into the 2010s. And while the sound tended to be mellow, the music—like that of his friend Peter Gabriel—has always had a quiet intensity to it, steering elements of spirituality, world music, and fusion gently toward the mainstream.
\nA lifelong activist, he has often contributed to musical-humanitarian efforts, including 1985’s Live Aid, and later cofounded The Rainforest Foundation to help preserve the rainforest and homes of indigenous peoples of Brazil. \""}},{"id":"111192","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/111192?l=en-US","attributes":{"bornOrFormed":"January 28, 1968","genreNames":["Pop"],"editorialArtwork":{"subscriptionHero":{"width":4320,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features71/v4/40/4c/d6/404cd688-a416-30e4-d49b-08e30823300f/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1080,"textColor3":"3b3837","textColor2":"2b170f","textColor4":"55453e","textColor1":"0a0605","bgColor":"fffffd","hasP3":false},"bannerUber":{"width":4320,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features71/v4/43/3c/b8/433cb836-e13f-2d6f-7578-041a28dc7307/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1080,"textColor3":"403c38","textColor2":"261611","textColor4":"514540","textColor1":"100b06","bgColor":"fffffd","hasP3":false}},"origin":"Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada","name":"Sarah McLachlan","hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":2400,"url":"https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features125/v4/1f/65/f3/1f65f395-18a4-354b-cb5b-56ac62ec8a18/mzl.efdzgqtf.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":2400,"textColor3":"3d3636","textColor2":"281e15","textColor4":"493b31","textColor1":"18181b","bgColor":"cfafa2","recommendedCropCodes":["va","vb","vc"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"artwork":{"width":2400,"url":"https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features125/v4/1f/65/f3/1f65f395-18a4-354b-cb5b-56ac62ec8a18/mzl.efdzgqtf.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":2400,"textColor3":"3d3636","textColor2":"281e15","textColor4":"493b31","textColor1":"18181b","bgColor":"cfafa2","hasP3":false},"isGroup":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/sarah-mclachlan/111192","artistBio":"Sarah McLachlan’s intimate, lush singer/songwriter fare—forged in alt-rock drama—renders personal moments and inner emotional landscapes with cinematic grandeur. Born in 1968 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, McLachlan was offered a record deal while still in school, but turned it down to focus on her studies. After rethinking things, however, she headed to Vancouver and eventually released her atmospheric, folky debut record, 1988’s Touch. A few years later, 1991’s Solace signaled major growth in her songwriting and sound, but it wasn’t until 1993’s Fumbling Towards Ecstasy—partly inspired by her time working on a documentary about poverty and child prostitution in Thailand and Cambodia—that she truly established herself as an artist. With a voice that was fearless, personal, and backed by full-bodied production, she breathed life into moments of heartbreak (“Good Enough”), romance (“Ice Cream”), and even dangerous obsession with “Possession,” which included lines parsed from letters received from a stalker. It set a high bar that McLachlan promptly vaulted over with 1997’s Surfacing, which contains megahits like the shadowy “Building a Mystery” and elegiac “Angel,” which gained a reputation as a heartstring-tugger for charity commercials and memorials. That same year, McLachlan also founded the enormously influential Lilith Fair—a festival that booked women and woman-led groups—providing a platform for a new generation of musicians. In the 21st century, McLachlan has continued to push her sound to explore new emotional depths (notably with 2003’s Afterglow), founded the Sarah McLachlan School of Music to provide kids quality, free music education in 2002, and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2017."}},{"id":"164449","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/164449?l=en-US","attributes":{"bornOrFormed":"1982","genreNames":["Pop"],"editorialArtwork":{},"origin":"Hull, England","name":"Everything But the Girl","hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":717,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/ce/10/7b/ce107b10-ac2e-5650-c0ac-bf86d38a6d11/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":717,"textColor3":"bababa","textColor2":"d0d0d0","textColor4":"a9a9a9","textColor1":"e5e5e5","bgColor":"0c0c0c","hasP3":false}}]}],"artwork":{"width":717,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/ce/10/7b/ce107b10-ac2e-5650-c0ac-bf86d38a6d11/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":717,"textColor3":"bababa","textColor2":"d0d0d0","textColor4":"a9a9a9","textColor1":"e5e5e5","bgColor":"0c0c0c","hasP3":false},"isGroup":true,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/everything-but-the-girl/164449","artistBio":"Alt-pop duo Everything But the Girl found their greatest success toward the end of their 18-year run, when Todd Terry’s remix of their 1994 single “Missing” became a global smash. Their electronic-flavored follow-up, 1996’s Walking Wounded, marked their highest-charting album in the US and the UK.\n\n• Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt started Everything But the Girl while they were classmates at the University of Hull in Northern England. Each had recorded solo material before they teamed up in 1982.\n• Their first album as Everything But the Girl was 1984’s Eden, which was steeped in jazz and bossa nova—“sophisti-pop,” as it has become known. The album went Top 20 in the UK.\n• Everything But the Girl explored various influences over the years, including the jangly pop of their 1985 album Love Not Money (No. 10 in the UK); the symphonic sound of 1986’s Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, recorded with an orchestra (No. 22 in the UK); and the acoustic-instruments-with-programmed-drums aesthetic of 1988’s Idlewild (No. 13 in the UK). The latter album included a version of “I Don’t Want to Talk About It” that reached No. 3 on the UK singles chart.\n• The group boosted its profile in 1994 with the acoustic-based Amplified Heart, which included contributions from guitarist Richard Thompson, bassist Danny Thompson, and drummer Dave Mattacks. The album hit No. 20 in the UK and just missed the Top 40 in the US. Todd Terry’s remix of the single “Missing” was an international hit that reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and No. 3 in the UK.\n• Everything But the Girl returned in 1996 with Walking Wounded, which reached No. 4 in the UK and cracked the Top 40 in the US. Their final album, 1999’s Temperamental, blended folk, jazz, pop, and electronica. It went Top 20 in the UK. \n• The duo last performed live in 2000. Thorn and Watt, who are married to each other, have each released solo albums in the years since, though they have said they don’t plan to revive Everything But the Girl.\n"}},{"id":"203373","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/203373?l=en-US","attributes":{"bornOrFormed":"November 7, 1943","genreNames":["Singer/Songwriter"],"editorialArtwork":{"originalFlowcaseBrick":{"width":3200,"url":"https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features1/v4/51/df/63/51df63bc-9dde-d37c-7c4a-6463ebba7082/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":600,"textColor3":"222222","textColor2":"0a0a0a","textColor4":"262626","textColor1":"050505","bgColor":"979797","hasP3":false},"storeFlowcase":{"width":4320,"url":"https://is3-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features126/v4/a8/c5/50/a8c550c8-db57-acb8-e255-2c4d403de0a0/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1080,"textColor3":"c9d4d4","textColor2":"ddb592","textColor4":"b19b7f","textColor1":"fbfcfc","bgColor":"023333","hasP3":false},"subscriptionHero":{"width":4320,"url":"https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features7/v4/d3/a3/3d/d3a33d83-34a3-8a9a-4cc9-09ed2a0979f0/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1080,"textColor3":"d6d6d6","textColor2":"ededed","textColor4":"cecece","textColor1":"f6f6f6","bgColor":"565656","hasP3":false},"bannerUber":{"width":4320,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features4/v4/3f/37/bf/3f37bf62-a398-2aa5-a233-882c9cf24b4a/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1080,"textColor3":"222222","textColor2":"111111","textColor4":"2b2b2b","textColor1":"060606","bgColor":"929292","hasP3":false}},"origin":"Fort Macleod, Alberta, Canada","name":"Joni Mitchell","hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":3840,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features126/v4/f3/c3/af/f3c3af4b-50c9-3ca8-2985-e37a860fbe19/mza_1848250252494368058.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":3840,"textColor3":"dbdbdb","textColor2":"f6f6f6","textColor4":"d7d7d7","textColor1":"fbfbfb","bgColor":"5c5c5c","recommendedCropCodes":["va","vb"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"artwork":{"width":3840,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features126/v4/f3/c3/af/f3c3af4b-50c9-3ca8-2985-e37a860fbe19/mza_1848250252494368058.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":3840,"textColor3":"dbdbdb","textColor2":"f6f6f6","textColor4":"d7d7d7","textColor1":"fbfbfb","bgColor":"5c5c5c","hasP3":false},"isGroup":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/joni-mitchell/203373","artistBio":"A pioneering figure of the singer-songwriter era, Joni Mitchell charted an interior world that felt bigger and more ambiguous—but every bit as real—as the one outside, rendering relationships and self-exploration with a candor, humor, and wisdom unheard of before her and rarely matched since. Canadian by birth, Mitchell spent the mid-’60s breaking into America, being covered by artists like Judy Collins and Tom Rush before settling in Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon. Despite properly launching her solo career during the late ’60s, in a decidedly antiestablishment folk scene, Mitchell harbored a vocal skepticism toward the counterculture, an iconoclasm and commitment to her muse that followed her for decades—from her forays into jazz (including collaborations with Charles Mingus and Jaco Pastorius) to her occasional retreats into poetry and painting. (“I have always thought of myself as a painter derailed by circumstance,” she once said.) Delicate as it is, her work is quietly transgressive, too, crossing freely between folk, pop, and jazz without flaunting it, juxtaposing her fluttery voice with tough advice and a sharp, sometimes unsparing wit. But at the heart of Mitchell’s music lies that quest for the inner realm, for personal truth laid as bare as possible without sacrificing its complexity—a “feminine appetite for intimacy” (her words) that has influenced artists from Prince and Kate Bush to the more diaristic sides of Taylor Swift."}},{"id":"147205","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/147205?l=en-US","attributes":{"bornOrFormed":"November 2, 1961","genreNames":["Pop"],"editorialArtwork":{"originalFlowcaseBrick":{"width":3200,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features/v4/00/a2/00/00a2007c-3c59-1f64-bd9b-dd71747c1d8d/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":600,"textColor3":"252423","textColor2":"1d1712","textColor4":"3d3731","textColor1":"000000","bgColor":"bdb8b0","hasP3":false}},"origin":"Consort, Alberta, Canada","name":"k.d. lang","hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":1200,"url":"https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/22/d5/10/22d51007-18fa-a6f8-b961-7563abc69de2/mzl.apdbipax.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1200,"textColor3":"383d35","textColor2":"232b21","textColor4":"4f5443","textColor1":"070f10","bgColor":"fff7cc","recommendedCropCodes":["va","vb"],"hasP3":false}}]}],"artwork":{"width":1200,"url":"https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/22/d5/10/22d51007-18fa-a6f8-b961-7563abc69de2/mzl.apdbipax.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1200,"textColor3":"383d35","textColor2":"232b21","textColor4":"4f5443","textColor1":"070f10","bgColor":"fff7cc","hasP3":false},"isGroup":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/k-d-lang/147205","artistBio":"Blessed with one of the most distinctive and haunting voices in country and pop, Canadian singer-songwriter k.d. lang is best known for her 1992 hit “Constant Craving.” Over the course of her career, she’s collaborated with the likes of Roy Orbison, Tony Bennett, Elton John, and The Killers. \n\n• Lang got her start fronting the Reclines, which began as a Patsy Cline cover band before transitioning to original material for their 1984 LP A Truly Western Experience.

The night changed her life—not just because the music was great, but because, as she put it more than 20 years later while accepting Bowie’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, “it was great theater. Here was this beautiful, androgynous man, just being so…perverse.” More than a musician, Madonna—like Bowie then and Kanye West now—is a supreme cultural curator. She's an artist capable of combining styles and images in ways that are both novel and groundbreaking, who changes with such frequency and confidence that change has become her defining characteristic.
\nBorn in Bay City, Michigan, in 1958, she spent her childhood studying ballet, later moving to New York to try and make it as a dancer. (She was fired from a brief stint at a Times Square Dunkin’ Donuts after spraying a customer—either accidentally or on purpose, she never confirmed—with donut jelly.) After playing in a couple of New Wave bands, she went solo, exploring a simple, almost punky, almost amateurish take on dance music (“Borderline,” “Lucky Star”) that brought the grandeur of disco down to human scale. She remained more or less invincible throughout the '80s, releasing a string of albums (Like a Virgin, True Blue, and Like a Prayer) that continue to define the era. Like Prince, her music was immediate but her character was incredibly complex: She could be brassy (“Material Girl”) and sweet (“Open Your Heart”), earnest (“Papa Don’t Preach”) and playful (“Like a Virgin”), sacred and profane—a variety that widened the emotional spectrum for pretty much every female pop artist in her wake.
\nIn the ’90s, she shifted her focus more explicitly to the intersection of sex and power (Erotica, Bedtime Stories, the photo book Sex), with a sound that flirted with house, new jack swing, and late-night R&B. (Between “Vogue” and the tour documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare, it was also a moment when she leaned into her support of the LGBTQ community—a relationship that has defined her career.) Just as quickly as she’d embraced her inner sinner, she pivoted, first with a role as former Argentinian first lady Eva Perón in the 1996 film and soundtrack Evita, then with the 1998 album Ray of Light—projects that rechristened her as a mature, soul-searching artist in a chaotic world. She kept pace through the 2000s and 2010s, exploring disco, electro, and minimalistic takes on ’80s dance music, continuing to track the sound of the times while always, somehow, remaining herself.
\nWhen she was a young woman pursuing a dance career in New York, she’d been given a nickname by the famed choreographer Martha Graham: Madame X, a shape-shifting woman whose identity was, as the name suggests, a variable. About 40 years later, she embraced the moniker for 2019’s Madame X, an album influenced by the yearning fado music of her adopted home of Lisbon, Portugal."}},{"id":"114704","type":"artists","href":"/v1/catalog/us/artists/114704?l=en-US","attributes":{"bornOrFormed":"November 8, 1954","genreNames":["Pop"],"editorialArtwork":{},"origin":"Chicago, IL","name":"Rickie Lee Jones","hero":[{"content":[{"artwork":{"width":566,"url":"https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/de/a4/ef/dea4ef01-91cd-4a2a-4a6d-c4a8ebc453fd/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":566,"textColor3":"352f2c","textColor2":"2e1e16","textColor4":"4b3c36","textColor1":"120d0a","bgColor":"c2b7b3","hasP3":false}}]}],"artwork":{"width":566,"url":"https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features115/v4/de/a4/ef/dea4ef01-91cd-4a2a-4a6d-c4a8ebc453fd/pr_source.png/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":566,"textColor3":"352f2c","textColor2":"2e1e16","textColor4":"4b3c36","textColor1":"120d0a","bgColor":"c2b7b3","hasP3":false},"isGroup":false,"url":"https://music.apple.com/us/artist/rickie-lee-jones/114704","artistBio":"Few artists who rose to fame in the '70s sounded as individual and eclectic as Rickie Lee Jones.
