Closer to the Truth [US Deluxe Edition] (2013)

After half a decade in the music industry, it's amazing that Cher is still making records in 2013. That Closer to the Truth is any good at all is even more shocking. With the help of her longtime producer Mark Taylor, plus Billy Mann and Paul Oakenfold, the album has a fully modern sound, a large portion of the songs (written by the usual cast of many that includes P!nk and Cher herself) are hooky and fun, and her voice, aided by technology or not, still carries a lot of weight and power.

After half a decade in the music industry, it's amazing that Cher is still making records in 2013. That Closer to the Truth is any good at all is even more shocking. With the help of her longtime producer Mark Taylor, plus Billy Mann and Paul Oakenfold, the album has a fully modern sound, a large portion of the songs (written by the usual cast of many that includes P!nk and Cher herself) are hooky and fun, and her voice, aided by technology or not, still carries a lot of weight and power. The album is split down the middle with the first half made up of shimmering, supercharged dance tracks that have disco and house influences and seem destined to fire up clubgoers with their soaring choruses. The empowerment jam "Woman's World" has the most impact, but the whole batch of songs packs a big, glittery punch. Cher sounds absolutely in her element with these songs and her thundering vocals fit perfectly in the mix. After a campy, banjo-led romp that sounds like someone tried to fuse Mumford & Sons with the Scissor Sisters ("I Walk Alone"), the second half heads deep into some heavy adult contemporary sounds. [The Deluxe Edition of Closer to the Truth adds three bonus tracks, any one of which would have fit perfectly on the album proper. The Timbaland-produced hip house-inspired "I Don't Have to Sleep to Dream" is the standout, but the other two songs (the uplifting "Pride" and power ballad "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me") are almost as good.] ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi Read Less
