Rod Stewart plugged into The Power Station for this 1988 album, energized by the clucking guitar of Duran Duran’s Andy Taylor and funky basslines of Chic’s Bernard Edwards. Throbbing, sparkling “Forever Young” finds him aiming for U2-level arena rock, while “My Heart Can’t Tell You No” is set to a simmer with glassy, chiming keyboards. Stewart’s familiar howl continues to charm, whether riding the thwacking snare of “Lost In You” or bringing extra warmth to the soul ballad “Try a Little Tenderness.”
