PEOPLE, Page 71Crossover Realities
By GINIA BELLAFANTE
Imagine Michael Bolton performing Puccini or Axl Rose
recording 'Tis the Gift to Be Simple. Implausible? Who knows,
what with all the musical style switching going on these days.
At least three of pop's grandes dames have been singing
distinctly different tunes. On her latest album, Frenesi,
crooner LINDA RONSTADT opts for the classics of Caribbean jazz.
Why? "There aren't many interesting songs produced in our
culture," she explains. "It's a sign of the economy; people are
writing throwaway stuff." Due out soon from androgynous politico
SINEAD O'CONNOR: Am I Not Your Girl?, a sultry series of torch
songs favored by the likes of Billie Holiday and Ella
Fitzgerald. And finally, get ready for raspy rocker CHER to go
country. She's gearing up for an album expected sometime next
year.
