Grade: C+
Reba McEntire’s 26th studio album, “All the Women I Am,” delivers much of the bold singer’s usual style, but falls behind the shadow of her previous work. The first single, “Turn On the Radio,” is a fast-paced track that can keep up with a younger crowd, but with lyrics that are laughable upon examination. McEntire’s cover of Beyoncé’s “If I Were a Boy” is surprisingly acceptable — swapping it from one genre to the next without attempting to overwork the sound. Overall, the album upholds her well-established name in country music.
