TINA TURNER
BREAK EVERY RULE
RHINO
★★★★
Following the career resuscitation of Private Dancer, Tina Turner was able to assemble a who’s who of 80s AOR for its eagerly awaited follow-up in 1986. The emphatic beats on lead single Typical Male and subtle synths on Afterglow were provided by Phil Collins and Steve Winwood respectively. Mark Knopfler penned the semi-autobiographical rockabilly of Overnight Sensation and produced the sensual Paradise Is Here, while recent duet partner Bryan Adams co-wrote arguably Turner’s most full-throated rocker since the Ike And Tina days in Back Where You Started. Even David Bowie chipped in with the brooding, Blade Runner-referencing chanson Girls.
