Data Insight

Wildest Dreams draws on one of the widest songwriter rosters of any Turner album, and her name is on none of it. The credits run from Terry Britten and Graham Lyle to the Pet Shop Boys, Sheryl Crow, Bono and the Edge on 'GoldenEye,' and Massive Attack's writers. Even working with a heavyweight producer in Trevor Horn, Turner stays the interpreter, picking and singing songs supplied entirely by others.

Wildest Dreams is the eighth solo studio album by Tina Turner, released in 1996 after a long gap and built around producers Trevor Horn and Terry Britten. A polished pop-rock and soul record, it features the James Bond theme 'GoldenEye,' written by Bono and the Edge, and guest appearances from Sting and Antonio Banderas. Turner wrote nothing on the album, fronting songs by a wide span of writers including Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, Mike Chapman and Holly Knight, the Pet Shop Boys, and Sheryl Crow. It was a strong seller in Europe and kept her a major live and recording presence into the late 1990s.
