Tina At Her Finest...

With 24-7, Tina Turner reminds us all that you can still do what you do best at 60! We had the fortunate opportunity to see Tina on the opening night of her US Tour in the Twin Cities on March 23, 2000. She was phenomenal, as is this compilation of music. As a club DJ, I was fortunate to see and hear Tina's hot new dance track "When The Heartache is Over" before the US release of this CD. For the most part however, this collection is similar to Tina's "Private Dancer" years of the early 1980's. You won't find the rock-n-roll style of music ("Proud Mary") that Tina was so famous for in the 70's. Though she comes close to her R & B / Rock & Roll roots with the title track. Other fine songs include "Whatever You Need" and "Talk To My Heart". If you are a serious Tina fan, just a casual fan, or simply a fan of popular music, you won't be disappointed with this CD. Unlike another all-time great who released her comeback success "Believe" in 1998 (Cher!), this collection from Tina is slower and not as dance-oriented, but a great collection just the same.

LIKE WINE..SHE JUST GETS BETTER WITH AGE

The legendary Tina Turner's latest studio album is a blend of modern pop music. Theres rock, pop, R & B, all mixed together in this incredible recording. Turners voice sizzles throughout the eleven tracks. Stand out tracks is the #3 dance hit "when the heartache is over", also the uptempo ballad "whatever you need" and the declaring "all the woman" also of note are the thunderuos "without you" which features a cameo by Bryan Adams, and "twenty four seven" which is a great fun rock number in which Tina does best. over all this is simply one of her best albums, i think its just as good as "private dancer" there really isn't a bad song on the album, her longtime fans will be pleased, and her new followers will simply enjoy. Whats amazing is after over fourty years every fresh Tina Turner project is simply the best. Do yourself a favor purchase this incredible album.

NOTHING LESS THAN SPECTACULAR

Rock Legend Tina Turner is back with a bang. Tina leans towards modern pop and soul music on this recording which suits her well. After 40 years of recording music her voice is still as strong as ever. Tina purrs on "WHAT EVER YOU NEED", roars on the title track, and rocks on "WITHOUT YOU" Also of note is the lead single which can be compared to Cher's "BELIEVE", "WHEN THE HEARTACHE IS OVER" but we all know Cher aint got nothing on the Tina's powerful voice. Also of note is the slinky "DONT LEAVE ME THIS WAY" Tina delivers with soul and passion on this track. No matter what some critics say about Tina abandowning her gutbucket R & B roots; this woman doesnt look back. She is not interesting in being what she was. She gets producers who are new and fresh, and cutting edge, and she just wants to move forward..the woman has a vision for herself. None of Tina's albums are alike, and after being in the business for 40 years the woman can DO WHAT SHE WANTS. Dont change Tina keep being YOU, and keep doing what you do SIMPLY THE BEST.

It's Tina's Turn

"Twenty-four seven" is Tina's second true studio release in ten years, following the 1996 release of "Wildest Dreams," one of her most underappreciated works. This album just goes to show that no matter what age you are, you can still rock with the best of them. "When The Heartache Is Over," produced by Metro, is the lead off this album, and is one of the best tracks as well. Its' dance beat has put Tina back on the charts, and is sure to reach the top ten if her record company would get their heads out of their butts. "Without You" features a cameo from Bryan Adams, and is 100% pure rock. "Talk To My Heart" displays Tina's signature vocals on a love/ballad song that has become the highlight of her newest performances. Other songs on the album are completely original music for Tina, including the title track "24/7" which makes you want to shake every time you hear it. For all just thinking about buying this album....let me make up your mind. BUY IT.

A masterpiece. . .but will America listen?

Tina's 10th solo album is truly one of her best. I say "one of" because I doubt that any follow up album can match the intensity and publicity involved with the comeback of "Private Dancer" (PD). This, of course, is not to say that 24/7 is not worthy of comparison artistically. The album is similar to PD in that there is a wide variety of music and song types that will surely please a wide audience. The album's most inventive song is definitely "Go Ahead." A sultry, modern song that combines rauncy lyrics with a pop-electronica-like music arrangement (listen to the pops and wags in the background. . .remind you of Madonna's latest album?). The first single from the album, "When the Heartache is Over" is a great dance tune, very reminiscent of Cher's "Believe." (Coincidence that the first singles from both 24/7 and Wildest Dreams sing about not "missing you"? ). "Don't Leave Me This Way" and "Falling" are great slow tunes, very evocative of her R & B sultry roots. The former, especially, has the makings of a mainstream adult contemporary hit. "Without You," Tina's collaberation with longtime friend Bryan Adams, is excellent and reminds me of the old "rock" Tina singing "Better Be Good to Me" and "It's Only Love." The title track reminds me of Tina's work back in the Ike and Tina days, especially in the intro riff and her wailing at the beginning of the song. Overall, the album has very strong lyrics and very inventive sounds combining the "usual" Tina sounds with newer, more modern sounds to give it a fresh edge. I highly suggest purchasing this album and cross my fingers that America will embrace this artist yet again instead of jumping on the "artist of the week" bandwagon mentality that seems to perpetuate in American music-goers.
