[quote]"The Rumour" is the most critically-acclaimed album of Olivia Newton-John's phenomenal career, earning her kudos from the likes of Rolling Stone for "exposing a vein", earning our respect, and leaving us wanting much more. Released in 1988 following her maternity break, this album was a welcome follow-up to the disasterous "Soul Kiss". On "The Rumour", we are treated to a variety of sounds from the versatile ONJ. The title song, written by Elton John (who also supplied backing vocals), is pure, fluffy dance-pop; energetic and appealing. "Love and Let Live", the first pop anthem to AIDS awareness, is haunting, while "Let's Talk About Tomorrow", an awesome ode to conservation, is majestic. The best cut is "Walk Through Fire", a triumphant example of the unlimited talents of ONJ. And the eclecticly giddy "Tutta La Vita" supplies the icing on this well-crafted, decidedly rock-influenced confection.[/quote]
