Cher Goes Platinum; Hopes Her 26th Album Does the Same

Cher is hoping life will imitate art. For the cover of her 26th album, Cher has gone platinum. Blonde that it. Maybe it foretells of things to come and the record will go platinum too. Cher hasn’t put out new studio album in over 10 years. Cher’s new album, which is called “Closer to the Truth,” will be released at the end September.

Cher has been releasing chart-topping music since the 1960s. First as part of the power couple Sonny and Cher, which also spawned a TV variety show. The “Sonny and Cher Show” ran until the couple divorced. And then it ran again because it was too popular not to run even if the couple weren’t together.

Cher doesn’t always listen to her own music. She said “Truthfully, I’m not a huge Cher fan and I’ve said this many times, but I think this is the best album I’ve ever done.”

Cher says the songs on “Closer to the Truth” are reminiscent of her multi-platinum 1998 album “Believe,” which sold over 20 million copies. Cher won a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording on that record.

Cher’s new look has gotten Twitter all abuzz about the 67-year-old singer’s new look. Cher is being compared to Britney Spears and a young Barbara Streisand. Although the two are contemporaries.

Cher has changed her look often in her career. For her Woman’s World video, Cher wore a newspaper hairdo. For most of her career Cher has teamed with the designer Bob Mackie. Mackie is set to design the stage costumes for Cher’s 2014 tour. Cher posted some Mackie original designs on Facebook.
