Trying to define a 'brand' (for want of a much better word!) is muddled with an idea of self-presentation and - to a lesser extent - politics. What does your end of list say about you? And what does it say about 2012 that this isn't considered the most nauseating question imaginable? Each year, these two questions seem to loom large as DiS compiles its list. And we should all dance more.DIS' albums of the year countdown continues. Having a particular message and designed to simply reign on the rainbow dance floor. Written in a way that highlights Cher’s voice’s strongest features, making her sound really good. In fact, it’s so interesting, that even a thundering electronic keyboard and pounding drum couldn’t take its irresistible charm away. “Pride,” on the other hand, has something truly empowering about it. After all, once you have a demo, you have to think about the production, don’t you?
Especially if you’re not a native speaker, they’re easy to miss as the song has gotten quite a heavy hand in production for Cher’s album (which was inevitable for any song that was to make it on Closer To The Truth.) But since it had originally been written for Leona Lewis’ album, we can’t help but wonder what the final shape of the song could have been should it have landed on Glassheart. (GoPride, 2017)ĭo yourself a favor – open the lyrics of “Red” and just read them. And then when I wrote the second one, called “Pride,” which is on the deluxe version, it was for her in mind. It was that I thought I was writing for Leona Lewis and then Cher took it. Out of the two LP songs that made it to Cher’s comeback 2013 album, Closer To The Truth, one had been originally written for Leona Lewis, and the other one LP had designed exclusively for Cher. I think she felt that it was too high and then she went back and put it up to the original key because it’s just scored in that key.
LP: When I did a song for Cher, she lowered the key at first. LP: I got an email saying she wanted me to change the second verse of a song, but then she went back to the original verse! (Gaytimes, 2017) Dollars to doughnuts there’s nothing cooler than that. Then you find out that, despite some experimenting, she then returned to the original versions you’d sent her. That must have been fun – getting a message about Cher wanting to do one of the songs you wrote. That’s the beauty and importance of what she is. At the same time she’s not really about the things she has been doing – she’s something else, she’s Cher – and good luck to anyone who would like to to pigeonhole her. Dabbled in all shades of the entertainment business. She sings alright, looks good, acts nice.

The thing is, she is a standalone phenomenon, full stop.
And Cher isn’t exactly a music phenomenon. The long and short of it is that sometimes art isn’t the final destination. Was she great? I was happy to hear she was back in action. Jerry Nunn: Did you happen to see Cher on the Billboard Awards? Come on, not every single thing you put on has to carry this straightforward arty vibe, right? Whenever the conversation leads up to her, that’s the ultimate conclusion. And it wouldn’t hurt to loosen up every now and then.
