So I guess that I'm about a year (57 weeks, to be exact) behind the times, because I never even knew that her last record came out.

I loved her second record, but then her last one was just terrible, so I had sort of written her off as going overboard.

Thanks to an appearance on Ellen and Idol, I downloaded her "new" record.

And oh boy, it's delicious pop meets old school arena rock with huge choruses and her usual huge voice carrying it.

I'd suggest checking it out if you like that kind of music at all. Better late than never.
