Album Notes & Community Reviews
Tina Turner engineered one of the most spectacular commercial comebacks in music history with this incredibly slick, soul-infused pop-rock blockbuster. The album balances high-energy, synthesized R&B with deeply sensual, lonely balladry, driven entirely by her impossibly powerful, passionate vocal delivery.
