Tina Turner Returns with New Album ‘BEYOND’

Tina Turner has released a new album, called ‘BEYOND.’ For this new album the musical icon is switching gears. ‘BEYOND’ is a spiritual recording and collaboration that features Buddhist and Christian prayers. Turner collaborated with Tibetan Buddhist Dechen Shak-Dagsay and the album also includes Christian prayers composed by Regula Curti.

The album, in stores now, features Turner chanting and reading. She’s headed back into the studio soon to record the sequel.

She’s released the following statement about ‘BEYOND’ and its importance:

“I’m very happy to be a part of the BEYOND Project that was initiated by Regula Curti and Dechen Shak-Dagsay, both amazing singers, individuals and philanthropists from two different cultures – Christian and Tibetan. This project has taken on a life of its own and has expanded and attracted other artists of various faiths who will be involved with us in subsequent albums as this continues to grow.

As a collaborator I’d like to make very clear that the Project is not about me or Tina Turner the rock star. It’s about being part of and supporting a movement for the awareness and acceptance of different religions and spiritual paths to awaken the truth of ultimate oneness within us all.

I am therefore contributing to this project with my chanting practice and my story of personal growth and development as a human being in continuous search for the ultimate peace within.

This is a movement that goes beyond the three of us and has already been embraced by many people, including the Dalai Lama, the Abbott Martin Werlen Osb, and Deepak Chopra.

I invite the press to understand that they too can be a part of this project with their contribution and their involvement. The BEYOND Project is an invitation to open up a space where it is possible to include each individual to contribute to this vision. We are all the same, looking to find our way back to the source.” -Tina Turner
