What's
Love Got To Do With It
-
Tina Turner
|
| After the SimplyThe Best compilation
winkling a fresh soundtrack album out of the upcoming biopic, What's Love
Got To Do With It?, must have been difficult. But the indefatigably raunchy
thighed Tina's serviceable solution is a set of songs either new (the single
I Don't Wanna Fight with its Lulu- -penned lyric, the equally chartular
Bryan Adams growler Why Must We Wait Until Tomorrow?), ably revamped
classics (Proud Mary, Nutbush City Limits), or archive Ike & Tina Turner
re-recorded (Fool In Love from 1960, their first hit). Spun off from the
movie narrative, it lacks the intensity of Private Dancer or Foreign Affair-several
tracks run to fat. |
Wildest
Dreams - Tina Turner
|
| A number of the writers who
helped fashion Foreign Affair and Private Dancer into two of the '80s best-selling
albums come back happily for more. Namechecks, then, for Tony Joe White,
Graham Lyle, and Terry Britten who this time round share the music stand
with the carefully selected, hipper talents of Massive Attack, Sheryl Crow,
Pet Shop Boys, and U2. |

Twenty
Four Seven
-
Tina Turner
|
| 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. --J. McCulley |

| Turner's phenomenal reclamation
of her stardom is perfectly chronicled on Simply the Best. |
Simply
The Best - Tina Turner
|
| With the exception of the PhilSpector
epic "River Deep, Mountain High," everything included here comes from 1983
on. Turner's iconic voice and bluesy earnestness surface on a cover of
Al Green's "Let's Stay Together." She brings a moody sensuality to "I Can't
Stand the Rain." Equally adept at rock, soul, gospel, and R&B, Turner
makes ordinary songs such as "Typical Male" and "Private Dancer" into extraordinary
recordings. |
|
Foreign
Affair - Tina Turner
|
| On this album are some of her
best songs ever; which include, The Best, Steamy Windows, Undercover Agent
for the Blues, I Don't Wanna Lose You, and Foreign Affair. |
