"Whatever You Want" is a song performed by American recording artist Tina Turner from her ninth studio album, Wildest Dreams (1996). It was written by Arthur Baker, Fred Zarr, and Taylor Dayne and is noted for its different levels of energy and strong vocal performance, as well as its orchestral arrangement and complex production, courtesy of producer Trevor Horn.
The song was released as the lead single from the album and was the opening number on her Wildest Dreams Tour (1996). The song became a moderate success on the charts, reaching top ten in Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary and Italy, while reaching the top twenty in the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland.
Ross Jones from The Guardian complimented the song as "epic", adding that "this is Trevor Horn's finest, most expensive sounding production in years".[2] A reviewer from Music Week rated it four out of five, writing, "It's a simple song, but sung with all her usual gusto and a useful preview for her first new album in six years."[3] Damien Mendis from the RM Dance Update gave the remix five out of five, stating that the original "has been gloriously produced" by Horn. He added further that Todd Terry "has tackled the Phil Spector-style production and turned it into a way cool Frozen Sum mix that, although minimalist, is effective enough to keep dancefloors jumpin' and speakers pumpin'."[4]
Music videoedit
A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by French director, photographer, film producer and actor Stéphane Sednaoui. It features Turner with futuristic special effects surrounding her. The special effects become more vigorous as the song progresses.
The song was released as a 1998 single by Taylor Dayne from her album Naked Without You. It was remixed by Soul Solution and was a hit in the clubs, peaking at number 6 on the US Billboarddance chart.[23] Taylor Dayne's version was remixed and re-released on 7 May 2005 on the "Whatever You Want"/"Naked Without You" remix EP (CPD 59572)
