"Getting older sucks the big one," Cher said recently, yet ageing seems to have instilled a fierce energy. On her last album, in 2001, she was a bellowing dance-commander, and now she's gone one better, cranking up both the beats and her propensity for blasting. And she can blast like nobody else: Pink and Jake Shears are credited as backing vocalists on I Walk Alone and Take it Like a Man respectively, but they're inaudible against Cher's Auto-Tuned foghorn. Happily, though, her many producers and writers have matched her with a batch of pounding Eurodisco tracks that can take the punishment. There's a reason the single Woman's World reached No 1 on the US dance chart: it's classic diva territory, combining empowerment sentiments, wonderfully kitsch techno and Cher's most commanding performance. The first half of the album is a similar campstravganza – Take It Like a Man indeed – but the second peters out into MOR. Did she really need to cover the Miley Cyrus ballad-warbler I Hope You Find It? Then again, she's Cher, and what producer would be brave enough to say no? ---theguardian.com
