No 'Rumour,' this is one of Olivia's better efforts.

Review Score: (8/10)
"The Rumour" is an overlooked album that came at the end of the singer's lucrative heydays. It has aged surprisingly well and contains Olivia's best work as a songwriter with "Let's Talk About Tomorrow" and "It's Not Heaven." But the real treat here is the stunning waltz-like ballad "Walk Through Fire." Ironically, the title track penned by Elton John (and closest to her typical '80's pop sound), is one of the weakest in a otherwise unique and diverse set of musical styles.
