The iconic singer, who rose to fame as one-half of The Eurythmics in the 1980s before branching out with a solo career, shared a letter sent to her by a radio station coordinator named Kylie. In her letter, Kylie encouraged Lennox, 62, to send in samples of her music for a chance to get her stuff played on a network of radio stations.

The Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) singer posted the letter to her Facebook page, redacting the name of the radio station.

“I came across your music online and really like what I heard! I find artists who I think have potential and get them in rotation on our station,” Kylie writes to the four-time Grammy Award-winner, inviting Lennox to send in her latest MP3s. “If you’d like, please send over the MP3 for your latest single. I’ll forward it to Glenn our program director here at [redacted] to see if he’s interested in putting it in rotation.”
