Amazon.com No doubt emboldened by the unlikely late-career success of sister chanteuse/force-of-nature Cher, R&B legend Turner signed on with producers Brian Rawling and Mark Taylor (the team behind the former's worldwide smash "Believe"). Their contemporary production-touches seldom get in the way of Turner's soulful smolder and burn, especially on tracks like the gospel-steeped opener, "Whatever You Need," which stakes the team's intentions to bring the singer into the 21st century with her dignity intact. Wed to a strong melodic pop sensibility ("Absolutely Nothing's Changed," "Talk to My Heart," the smooth Philly soul of "Don't Leave Me This Way"), Turner's dramatic readings are often irresistible. Even on more commercial and dance-oriented tracks (the single "When the Heartache Is Over"; the Bryan Adams duet "Without You"), it's Turner who triumphs. But then, this is a woman who could breath sexual fire into a toothpaste jingle. --Jerry McCulley Similar CDs

CD ReviewsTina delivers a contemporary, yet accesible album Neptunian Spirit | Dayton, OH USA | 09/07/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "I've just started to collect Tina Turner's records, finally approaching my interest in her music. This was a record which I actually was excited to hear, for some reason I was really drawn to it. It has a very clean & simple look on the cover, & that really drew me in. I also remember the video for "When The Heartache Is Over" from several years back. Well, I've given this record several spins & I can honestly say that I really enjoy it. I see where some fans could be put off by it's "pop" exterior. Like many of the "VH1" Diva ilk, Tina tries to keep her hold on her established fanbase & yet reach new audiences. Here, the arrangements are very much about style. I get the image that they were trying to update Tina for a new "century" & this mostly works. All the elements that have been found in Tina's music such as rock, dance-lite, soul, & her rockabilly vibe all mix here. At times a bit too smoothly which is evidenced on the lead single "When the Heartache Is Over"; though this doesn't limit the enjoyable factor of this cut. "Go Ahead" is probably one of the best tracks here. It has Tina's soulful voice leading the charge & the music maintains a very "chill nightlife" vibe. Other favorites include the raucous closer "Twenty Four Seven" which Tina seems to tackle with her tongue planted directly in her cheek. "Whatever You Need" is so poignant in it's delivery I can't help but spin this track over agan. Tina also has her own personal level of schmaltz, so for me some of the more obnoxiously modern arrangements don't grate. Like Donna Summer (another favorite), Tina was blessed with a great voice. Material that may sound average, when given to Donna & Tina is elevated to astounding because their voices drives the song. In some instances that is the case here. Overall, this is one of the favorites of mine (along with "Foreign Affair") that Tina has put out. It'll be interesting to see if she puts out another album or if this will be her last to date, if so...it isn't that bad of a note to go out on. Even if it is a bit too sweet a times." Another good album from Tina! Preston | nc | 10/25/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "While I don't think that this is one of her best albums, Tina Turner opened up 2000 with Twenty Four Seven and it's quite good. A lot of the songs have more of that techno dance, electronica sound to it, and Tina actually pulls it off on the high energy songs. At that time I was very into the Mark Taylor/Brian Rawling produced dance numbers and rumbling sound that they had hits for Cher and others between 1998 and 2001. But they really matched well with the legendary Tina on the songs on this album. When The Heartache is Over, Absolutely Nothing's Changed, and others sound good. The title song is rocking. The other songs by the other writers/producers are also very good. This album proved that Tina could make a solid, upbeat album at 60 and why she's still one of the best in the music business!" The Usual...Just Great! Neptunian Spirit | 07/20/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm not really under 13. I just didn't want to sign in. Anyway, this is a great album. Tina's most recent album of original material since 1996's Wildest Dreams, another gem. This is a wonderful album. She seems to be going the Cher route here. "Whatever You Need," "When the Heartache is Over," "Don't Leave Me This Way," and the title track are among my favorites on this album. Also recommend Tina Live in Europe and Simply the Best (2 other Tina albums). Enjoy!! :)"
