Reba McEntire's last single, "Strange," rekindled the veteran artist's relationship with country radio and showed she's still at the top of her game. This second single-from her just-released Valory Music debut, "Keep On Loving You"-is another strong offering. Written by Steve Diamond and Marv Green, the lyrics reveal a woman openly confronting her man about the status of their relationship and clarifying that if she's not his priority, she's gone. Not one to play the victim, McEntire again takes a strong female's stance, but her performance is all heart and no bluster. She makes the song less of an ultimatum and more a quest for honesty in the relationship. It's a poignant number and a warm, nuanced performance by one of the format's superstars. --Deborah Evans Price
