MGF Reviews Tina Turner – Tina!


Tina Turner – Tina!
Capitol Records (9/30/08)
R&B / Pop

To complement Tina Turner’s long-awaited return to arenas across North America this fall, Capitol recently released Tina!, a new 18-track collection from the eight-time Grammy Award winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, featuring top hits, rare live recordings and two exclusive new tracks. Longtime Tina fans will love it and new fans will no doubt embrace it.

Long-time favorites, “What’s Love Got to Do With It”, “Better Be Good to Me”, “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)”, “Proud Mary” (1993 version), “Nutbush City Limits”, a live version of “The Best” (recorded at Wembley Stadium) and more are included. With the two previously unreleased tracks, “It Would Be a Crime” and “I’m Ready”, Tina proves how much she is The Standard in pop and R&B today. If you love Tina Turner, pick up this album, and if you’re an aspiring fan wanting the perfect album to start off your Tina collection, this is a great way to familiarize yourself with her incredible career.
