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.
