Tina Turner - Twenty Four Seven - Album

Twenty Four Seven

Album (1999)

Twenty Four Seven is the tenth and very last studio album from Tina Turner. Actually, Tina wanted only a greatest hits album and planned an elaborate co-headlining tour with Elton John. Because of disagreements between Tina and Elton at the rehearsals for the VH-1 special Divas Live, Tina canceled all common activities and decided with her manager Roger Davies to record her final studio album in London. The songs were written by various songwriters, including the Bee Gees and Tina’s longtime friend Terry Britten. It was first released in Europe, following the American release three month later. The album was reviewed in Billboard magazine in it’s issue from February 5, 2000.

The interview is divided in 14 cuts (total duration 11 minutes) and was taken at various locations in America. It comes with a cardboard sleeve and an inlet, which features all questions as well as all ins and outs and durations of Tina’s answers.

An additional Box Set with a pull-out slipcase features the original album on compact disc in a gatefold cardboard sleeve, a VHS video with an EPK, a six page booklet with the story about the new album and two promo pictures.

The Launch Party for the album was on October 27 in Paris with a Press Conference and the performance of three songs live on stage at the Buddha Bar in front of 250 visitors, mostly representatives of the European press, but also 50 fans from a contest organized by the NRJ radio station and the FNAC store. In America, Tina performed at the Super Bowl on January 30 in Atlanta with a Press Conference in advance.

To promote the tour in England, a Millenium Tour Sampler was released in 2000 with some of Tina’s well known hits and two live tracks from the special Celebrate! Additionally, the song Talk To My Heart and the title track Twenty Four Seven were released as promotional singles for radio stations.
