Free Music Review: Olivia's back,but no one care's
Hit: 5 Stars
This was Olivia's strongest album,and she wrote 4 of the 10 songs on this record.What happened? This should have been the top album of the year."The Rumour,"written by Elton-John and Bernie Taupin,was the first single,and just made the top 80 in billboard. "Can't we talk it over in bed," was a huge country hit for another artist,but Oliva's is so much better."Love and let Live,"a song about Aids,the first song dealing with this problem,is a real eye opener."Its not Heaven,"written by the singer is my favorite song on the CD. There is not one song on this tape that's a filler. Olivia even had a fantastic HBO special with all the songs in the show.I still have this tape.I've read all these reveiws,and I fill the same way.Oliva gave a fantastic party,but no one showed up.Free Music Review: Her Best Pop Album
Hit: 5 Stars
"The Rumor" stands as Olivia's strongest pop album, stronger by far than "Physical" or even "Gaia" in that it straddles so many genres and feelings, it can't easily be labeled. I agree with many of the observations made online - "It's Not Heaven" is a poignant self-penned track about being a single mom, "Love and Let Live" a testament to living in the 90's with HIV all around us, and the title track, a soulful classic track that should've been #1. With Elton John backing her up, Olivia delivers a sparkling performance. Also, "Walk Through Fire" and "Tutta La Vita" affirm love and life respectively. A great album that reaffirms ONJ's true place as one of the top female vocalists of our time.Free Music Review: I WISH MORE PEOPLE HEARD THIS "RUMOUR!"
Hit: 5 Stars
As a member of her fan club and long time #1 fan (since 1978), I believe "The Rumour" is one of Livvy's most under-rated albums. First of all, have you seen her on the cover (& the inside cover too)? She has never looked better. Furthermore, it's her first attempt at music with a conscience and I think it's excellent. I can remember requesting the dance mix of "The Rumour" in a dance club every weekend back in the 80's. It's a c.d. with a combination of vocal styles with some very varied background arrangements. Unfortunatley, when I saw (and touched) her in concert last month, she DID NOT sing anything from this c.d. Maybe next time.Free Music Review: WHY WASN'T THIS A HIT?!?
Hit: 5 Stars
I can't help but love this album. From "The Rumour" to "Tutta la Vita" Olivia shows everyone that she still and always will be a magnificent singer. My favorite song has to be "Love and Let Live" but other highlights besides the title track are definitely "Let's Talk About Tomorrow," which almost mimics the styles of singers like Paula Abdul from the late 80's, and "Car Games", a great jazzy tune. And you just can't miss "Big and Strong" (I love the orchestration). This is a definite buy for any Olivia fan.Free Music Review: Olivia's Finest Moment.
Hit: 5 Stars
The most overlooked album during its release and the most overlooked of Olivia Newton-John's career. Critics praised The Rumour, but listeners stayed away. Why? This is a near perfect album and is my favorite Olivia release. It still holds up today. Olivia's voice has never sounded better and the song selection is mature and appropriate. I say this because her previous album tried desperately to be sexy and too MTV. Highlights include the title tune, Let's Talk About Tomorrow and Walk Through Fire. Get it.
