Peace is the eighth and final studio album by British pop duo Eurythmics, released on 18 October 1999 by RCA Records. It was the band`s first album of new material in 10 years, following 1989`s We Too Are One.

Background and release
After their first performance together in eight years at a record company party in 1998, Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart began writing and recording together for the first time since 1989. After a benefit concert at the Institute of Contemporary Arts for the family of Ruth Picardie, a journalist who died of breast cancer, the duo convened at The Church Studios to write new music.[4] The band had previously recorded their Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) album at the facility, which they had rented and converted into a recording studio.[5][6] By the time they received news of their upcoming Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, the band had amassed half an album`s worth of songs.[4]

Much of the songwriting took place in the recording studio, where the two songwriters frequently restructured and rearranged their material. Stewart described the process as `creating a collage`, where his rough melodic ideas and Lennox`s lyrics would go through multiple iterations until they arrived at the final product.[7] The band used a Marantz CDR640 CD recorder for the project, which Stewart selected because of its audio capabilities. `At the end of the session, I can take away a true representation of what we have done. I can listen to alternative mixes or listen back to a different arrangement in the car or at home and know I`m hearing the same thing that I hear in the studio.`[8]

The album`s title was designed to reflect the duo`s ongoing concern with global conflict and world peace. It was promoted with a concert on the Greenpeace vessel Rainbow Warrior II, where they played a mixture of old and new songs. A world tour, titled the Peacetour, followed soon after, with all profits donated to Amnesty International and Greenpeace.[9] The final show of the tour, on 6 December 1999 at the London Docklands Arena, was filmed and released on VHS and DVD.

All tracks are written by Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart, except `Something In the Air` by Speedy Keen.
