Tina Arena's new album contains the best lyric of the year

Here's our review of the icon's first album of new material in eight years.
“I can’t be anything that I’m not,” Tina Arena declares on her first album of original material in eight years.
Her voice remains an instrument of beauty, but Arena refuses to trade on past glories in this collection of soaring, dramatic pop. “You look back,” she sings, “I go spiritual.”
She’s clearly an artist comfortable in her own skin, refusing to play the game as “the radio’s playing same, and same again." Then, in Can’t Say Anything, she states simply: “I’ve got my own mind.”
And the defiant Devil in Me features one of the year’s most striking lines: “F-ck you, I’m a Joan of Arc without a cause.”
Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the start of Arena’s showbiz journey. Who would have thought that Tiny Tina would become one of our most interesting pop artists?
