The Ignored Twin of "Gaia"

Review Score: (10/10)
I couldn't agree more with the reviewer DP from Pompano Beach, FL USA. Read that review if you are interested in this album.
I have been following Olivia's singing career for 30 years. I own many albums of hers, vinyl records and CDs. In Olivia's recording career, there are 6 albums I consider "THE IRRESISTIBLE TWINS". They are:

"If You Love Me, Let Me Know (1974)"and "Have You Never Been Mellow (1975)";
"Totally Hot (1978)" and "Physical (1981)";
"The Rumour (1988)" and "Gaia - One Woman's Journey (1994)".

True ONJ fans won't miss any of them. Those who stopped at "Physical" (or "Soul Kiss") lingering, sorry, "The Rumour" is not for you. There are no suggestive songs here. Those who love "Gaia", you will love "The Rumour". Olivia's vocal performances in "The Rumour" are superb. Notably the very high pitched song "Big And Strong", just listen to Olivia belting out from C major all the way up to A minor in one breath for 20 seconds. Few divas can do that.

Get "The Rumour" if you've already got "Gaia". They are twins only that "The Rumour" is not as personal as "Gaia".
