Tina Turner - Queen Of Rock'n Roll - Album

Queen Of Rock 'N' Roll

Album / Singles (2023)

Queen Of Rock ’N’ Roll is a huge compilation of 55 tracks that compiles an incredible anthology of Tina’s legendary solo career through her singles. From her cover of Whole Lotta Love all the way up to the Kygo remix of What’s Love Got to Do With It in 2020 and also including a brand new version of Something Beautiful, which is the first single to promote the album. This is the first time Tina’s complete singles collection has been released as one set, to celebrate 50 years since the start of Tina Turner’s iconic solo career.

The booklet features a foreword from Bryan Adams: “From obscurity to the stages of the UK and Europe, I credit Tina for changing the course of my life and I’m so grateful to have had some of her precious time. She was a force of nature, no one had her energy or her voice, I suppose it’s fitting to say, it’s only love, and that’s all.”

Singles

Something Beautiful, a new mix of the track Something Beautiful Remains, originally a single in 1996 from the album Wildest Dreams, was released as a first single to promote the album. This mix features a new instrumental background and an intro and outro with the chant „Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo“. The track was reworked by producer Terry Britten, a long-time collaborator of Turner: „Dear Tina, the experience of working with you could never be repeated, but in my heart something beautiful remains.“

The original Something Beautiful Remains music video from 1996 was filmed in South Africa at a beach and the mountains around Cape Town. This 2023 version is much longer, features many new scenes and is perfectly synchronized with the new mix.
