Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Cher's recording career has long taken a back seat to her acting pursuits, but with Believe she has come back with a vengeance as a throbbing disco diva. Although no fewer than five producers with dance pedigrees are along for the project (including Todd Terry, Junior Vasquez and Rob Dickins--who helped resurrect Rod Stewart's ailing career), this is by no means a dance album in the 1990s trip-hop sense of the term. Rather, it's a tour de force that summons mid-1970s images of strobe-lighted dance floors, sequinned miniskirts and writhing bodies. In "Power", Cher wails, "Ain't nothing changed much through the years". Not a bad thing in this case, since Cher's star was still rising in the steamy 1970s and '80s with a string of hits that included the disco gem "Take Me Home" and the haunting "If I Could Turn Back Time". Although not blessed with much vocal range, Cher knows how to work a song with her trademark sultry, slightly ironic delivery, and she's certainly in fine form on the masterful title track. --Jaan Uhelszki


CD Description

One of pop's true reigning divas returns to the fore with BELIEVE, a strikingly modern set of compositions. From the electronic vocal manipulation of the opening title track to the traditional inflections of "Dov'e L'Amore" BELIEVE is a highly original, highly personal statement, setting timeless emotions to cutting-edge musical themes. "Takin' Back My Heart" is a headstrong tale of emotional self- empowerment, while Cher shares a little territory with Madonna on the synth-driven throb of "Taxi Taxi". The album's closer, "We All Sleep Alone" steps a little further back, building layers upon avintage disco beat in an epic that would make Donna Summer proud. BELIEVE finds Cher staying on top of pop music's edge, as effortlessly and as earnestly as ever.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only Cher Could Pull This Off, 8 Jan 2003
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
"Believe" was one of those instant classic songs that defied modern trends by turning an early 80's dance theme into a late 90's monster hit. It's a powerful song and only the brilliant producer Junior Vasquez could produce such a hit. However, the remaining songs are a disappointment, showcasing Cher's amazing voice, but lacking originality. "We All Sleep Alone" is a pleasant soulful rendition that closes the CD, but the middle sounds like the filler that it is. However, only Cher could take ten songs to sell a huge album, just by her own tenacity and talent. Having the one gigantic hit doesn't hurt either. It's worth buying the album just for this song. If you really only want this song, the CD single has so many dance versions, it fills an entire CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strong Enough to rock the world, 28 Aug 2003
By welek (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - See all my reviews
The first time I heard Cher's powerful wall-piercing vocal STRONG ENOUGH on the radio, I told myself I'm going to miss the 70s goodness of disco and gayness if I don't dump my then heartbreaking relationship and move on with my life...

DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER LOVE? Yes, for the sake of survivors, Cher will always be a grand guidance figure to shelter us from the cruelty of love when it leaves you bleeding.

Despite of a few critically too cliche-sounding disco tracks, I gave 4 stars to the bold release of this record and insist "this is the (curing) album for the lonely" and hurt.

P/S: The CD sleeve printing is a platinum pearl-like silverish blue which adds the disco feel to this album. I actually bought it twice for an original German copy to replace the "duller" local edition in my country Malaysia.
