Now What (Capitol): Lisa Marie Presley's sophomore effort is solid enough to prove the King's daughter is more than just a rich girl on a lark, and the strengths of her debut not a fluke -- at least before it collapses under the weight of a few too many power ballads.

Presley is assisted by well-known song doctor Linda Perry, who co- writes six of the disc's 11 tracks (not counting the uncredited Ramones cover).

Some of the cuts, like the standout "I'll Figure It Out," indicate Presley spent a lot of time with Cure records in the 1980s.
