Cher's come back track; Woman's world and 'the Voice' performance.



The track.

Her first single since since teaming up with Christina Aguilera for Burlesque, Woman's world is dance-pop track released as the first single for Cher's twenty sixth studio album Closer to the truth. 

The track, written by Matt Morris and Paul Oakenfold, is a female empowerment anthem that fits Cher perfectly like a Bob Mackie thong. Not yet released here for purchase in the UK, it is available to listen to via Cher's YouTube channel. Sonically matching Believe, Cher sings in a low tone voice for the verses but explodes for the chorus, like she has been torn up, busted and taken apart

On the whole, I love the track because, if I felt guilty, Cher would be my guilty pleasure.  However, in the past when Cher's made a comeback, the hit track has been lyrically spine tingling such as Turn back timebut Woman's world seems a little repetitive and boring, like her past track All or nothing. Don't get me wrong, I like All or nothing, but lyrically it's quite simple and non-adventurous. Rhythmically, it's better than Believe. The up-beat dance nature of the tracks has its' roots lent to it by the Euro-dance genre and gives it that jumpy nature we expect from a Cher club song.

I recommend it to keep in in our vast libraries of music on our iPods, to listen to when we're bored or can't be bothered to work in class.


The Voice performance.

Well, Doctor Who, eat your shorts. Cher has turned back time once again and with every new invention comes a new wig.




I didn't expect anything less of good old (67)Cher. The raccoon on her head looks lovely. 

Her performance was Cher. The only adjective I could make up for this review. Her first performance since 2005 with Tina Turner on the Oprah Winfrey show. At one point, the singing was a little pitchy  but hardly noticeable among her and her dancers. 

 
For the after-session thing stars attend after a performance, She changed her outfit to this.
 
 
I have to say, I'm not a fan of this. The majority of funky, odd and masterful outfits Cher has worn have been genius in proving points and in making her look younger than she actually is; and this isn't one of them. I think she just looks, a little,  walk on the wild side and as if she is about to glamorously ruff it on the streets.
