From her days with Sonny in the '60s to her divahood at the end of the '90s, Cher is undeniably a survivor. The first single off LIVING PROOF, "Song for the Lonely," attempts to pick up where her mega-hit "Believe" left off, as a simultaneously anthemic and danceable pop confection with an emotional, reach-out message. Similarly, "A Different Kind of Love Song" makes use of the quirky vocal effects that made "Believe" so popular. But amid all the dance material, there's the sorrowful R&B balladry of "Rain, Rain" and the Latin pop flavor of "Body to Body, Heart to Heart" ensuring that LIVING PROOF never becomes monochromatic. With chart success and fond fans a given, it's clear that Cher has come out on top yet again with this solidly radio-ready offering.

Editorial Reviews
...Turns back time to the disco era, and ratchets up the vocal tricks....she still has feeling... - Rating: B+

3 stars out of 5 - ...Unlike house muisc or modern R&B, Cher's 21st-century disco is built on fully fleshed songs and detailed arrangments, and the studio wizardry is even grander than before...
