I was sort of dreading listening to this album, not because I hate Tina Turner, but because if I hear a few chords of "What's Love Got To Do With It," it is guaranteed to be stuck in my bed for the next week and a half. Oh well, my cat will just have to get over it.
Anyway, there is no denying that Turner has an amazing voice. Other than that, I was not too impressed by this album. I found the "Help" cover to be rather unnecessary, with the other tracks being fairly unremarkable. Even my untrained musical ear could tell that she relied way too heavily on synth.
Her vocals are the only thing that saves this album from complete 80s drudgery.
RATING: 3/5
I love her so much and I have to say, 5 Stars! She is an incredible performer and well....5 stars on all of her!!! ***** 💕
