Eminem  "Revival" (Interscope)
The A-List collaborators on  Eminem 's new album scream "I want a radio hit " with Beyonce  Ed Sheeran  Pink and Alicia Keys co-starring on the songs.
It wouldn't be hard to believe  especially since  Eminem 's last major hits have relied heavily on Rihanna  from "Love the Way You Lie" to "The Monster." But thankfully on " Revival " Eminem  returns as the star of  his  show.
Beyonce sounds beautiful on opener "Walk On Water " but Em's words are even better  as  he  delivers honest lyrics that sound  and feel  true to  him .
"Every album song I was spazzin' the (eff) out on/And now I'm gettin' clowned and frowned on "  he  raps.
 Eminem  is no longer hip-hop's most prized wordsmith and the adjustment is tough for any performer once known as one of music's most celebrated acts.
But on "Revival "  his  ninth studio album   Eminem  makes  himself  relevant with  his  smart rhymes  which is refreshing in the age of "mumble rap." The album artwork is of the American flag  with race and President Donald Trump recurring topics throughout the 19 tracks.
"So  hands in the air  let's hear it for the start of a brand new America without him  and be proud of where we're from " Eminem raps on "Like Home " featuring a stellar-sounding Keys.
Eminem co-produced some of the songs  also getting help from Rick Rubin  Dr. Dre  Alex Da Kid  Mr. Porter and Skylar Grey  the singer  songwriter and originator of "Love the Way You Lie."
