Three classic albums: The World Starts Tonight (1977), Natural Force (1978) and Goodbye to the Island (1981).
Recognized for her distinctly raspy voice and soulful pop repertoire, Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler had her first worldwide hit in 1978 with "It's a Heartache" from her second album, Natural Force. Characteristic of her work in the '70s, it blended elements of country, rock, and pop.

Between 1990-1993, Bonnie Tyler based herself in Germany and released three highly successful albums, 'Bitterblue', 'Angel Heart' and 'Silhouette in Red', none of which were released in the UK. This fine compilation includes the title tracks of all three albums ('Bitterblue' was also a single, which was a huge hit in Germany), all of the singles released from this period, carefully selected album tracks, a new song 'Back Home', and her classic '70s hits 'Lost in France' and 'It's A Heartache', included as a bonus tracks for good measure.

Between the Earth and the Stars is the seventeenth studio album by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler, released on 15 March 2019 by earMUSIC. The album was produced by David Mackay. Following the release of Rocks and Honey in 2013, Tyler remarked to Kiss FM that she expected it to be her last. In 2017, she announced that she had been inspired to record another album after hearing "fantastic new songs" written for her by Kevin Dunne, who played bass guitar in her first band in the early 1970s. In December 2016, she visited the Cash Cabin Studios in Nashville to commence recording with John Carter Cash. In 2018, Tyler announced that she would instead be working with David Mackay, who co-produced her first two albums, The World Starts Tonight (1977) and Natural Force (1978).

By the time Bonnie Tyler completed Silhouette in Red in 1993, she already had nearly a dozen albums to list in her musical resumé, not counting those done as collections. She is probably best known for her three biggest hits, "Total Eclipse of the Heart," "Holding Out for a Hero," and "It's a Heartache." Those songs and others earned her both gold and platinum albums, as well as a loyal following in the United States, Germany, England, and other countries. Tyler perfected her singing talents by performing with a band in numerous clubs in the early '70s. She was a big fan of singers like Tina Turner and Janis Joplin, and those strong influences often shine through on this hard to find album. With standout numbers like "Sally Comes Around," "Send Me the Pillow," and "You Won't See Me Cry," Silhouette in Red is a great find – if you can get your hands on it.

Bonnie Tyler's most recent studio album is a mixed bag of tricks – it contains mostly new songs (including her latest international hit, "Louise," in both French and English versions), as well as new recordings of some classics – namely "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "It's a Heartache." The result is an uneven listen and it definitely falls shy of Tyler's Columbia Records or BMG International periods. Unfortunately, the addition of "Total Eclipse" and "It's a Heartache" merely serves to point out that Tyler's work used to be much more powerful and much more daring.

Yet another greatest-hits compilation from Bonnie Tyler, the Welsh female version of Rod Stewart. She has released a few hits collections, including full-price titles on RCA and CBS and several budget titles on Castle, Crimson, and Camden, and despite her multitude of hit singles, none of performed particularly well on the album charts. This collection, titled From the Heart, just fell short of reaching the Top 30 in March 2007. It brought together the obvious hits from her CBS days and collaborations with producer Jim Steinman, mainly centering on the Faster Than the Speed of Night album with its title track and the giant number one single "Total Eclipse of the Heart," her hit duets with Shakin Stevens ("Rockin Good Way"), and Todd Rundgren ("Loving You's a Dirty Job But Somebody's Gotta Do It"); her other solo hits, from "Holding out for a Hero" from the Footloose soundtrack to the cover of the Air Supply hit "Making Love out of Nothing at All."

This double-disc comp of Bonnie Tyler's early chart-happy period ranges from her first charting single, "Lost in France" in 1977, to 1981, when she was still a force at the beginning of the MTV era. It's a slew of A- and B-sides, and album tracks that give a solid picture of Tyler's career as a fine interpretive singer and an individualistic, if idiosyncratic, voice in pop. Her delivery is rugged yet vulnerable, assertive yet tender. She is capable of anthems such as her monumental worldwide smash "It's a Heartache," to the most lithe of love songs, as evidenced by her read of "Goodbye to the Island." There are some very compelling covers here as well, including Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City," the Goffin & King classic "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman," Gary Brooker and Keith Reid's "A Whiter Shade of Pale," and even Jerry Ragovoy's "(Take a Little) Piece of My Heart" so closely associated with Janis Joplin.

Bonnie Tyler returned in the mid-1990s after a long hiatus with Free Spirit, her first U.S. release in years, although foreign releases have kept her somewhat in the European spotlight. Her throaty voice sounded as raspy and smoky as ever, (reminiscent of Kim Carnes or a female Rod Stewart), which is what made Bonnie Tyler so unique. Several songs on this album rate about average, but there are several shining moments which should have brought this set, from such an engaging singer, much more attention than the minimal it received. To begin with, her rendition of "Making Love out of Nothing at All," the early-1980s Air Supply hit, is fantastic, clocking in at nearly eight minutes, and seems perfectly suited for her voice. Their version was already great, but hers is awesome.
