Tina

The Platinum Collection is a beefed-up, triple-disc version of Tina!, a far-reaching if haphazardly assembled Tina Turner compilation released in the run-up to her 2008 world tour. Whereas Tina! was released in North America, The Platinum Collection was released in Europe a few months later in anticipation of the European leg of her tour. The Platinum Collection is almost definitive at 48 tracks in length. It includes all of Turner's major hits, including six Ike & Tina Turner-era recordings ("Nutbush City Limits," "River Deep, Mountain High," "I Want to Take You Higher," "Get Back," "Come Together," "Proud Mary"), and goes all the way up to the latter-day hits "When the Heartache Is Over" and "Whatever You Need" from her most recent studio album, Twenty Four Seven (1999), and "Open Arms," the one-off single from her best-of compilation All the Best (2004).

Internationally acclaimed cellist, Tina Guo, thrills in her debut album for Sony Masterworks, Game On! This vibrant and dramatic album showcases some of the most popular and well-known video game music with epic orchestral arrangements led by Tina Guo s high-octane solos on electric and acoustic cello. Included on the album is a blockbuster line-up of video game music featuring top-selling chart hits - Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Halo - all-time classics Mario, Zelda and Final Fantasy and critically acclaimed titles revered for their music Journey, Chrono Trigger and Metal Gear Solid. One of the world s most versatile musicians, Tina Guo is as much in demand as a soloist with Hollywood s top composers like Hans Zimmer, as for her virtuosic skills on classical stages.

Tina Arena's departure from English-language songs to almost exclusively French ones was a brilliant concept. Her new life in France in her new relationship plus her new child have given her lush inspirations. The raw passion in her soul is felt in every single number. This collection flows from one heartfelt vocal to another. To choose favorites out of this cd would mean writing about them all!! Vocally, Tina fills these songs with subtle depth, glowing color, and unyielding strength.
