Let’s revisit Cher’s often overlooked “It’s A Man’s World” ahead of its special deluxe edition re-release
Cher has graced us with numerous albums throughout her illustrious career (that’s 26 studio albums, 10 compilation albums, two soundtrack albums, and three live albums, to be exact).
Among her vast discography, It’s A Man’s World holds a special place in the hearts of many devoted fans. As the icon prepares to release a special edition re-issue of this album this week, it’s the perfect time to revisit this hidden gem and celebrate its place in Cher’s legendary career.First recorded in London and released in 1995, It’s A Man’s World boldly ventures into new territory for the singer.
In this album, she embraces a soundscape that is more commonly associated with the Deep South rather than her familiar pop and rock roots.
She also pushes her vocal boundaries, showcasing her versatility by delving into her head register on tracks like “One by One” and “The Gunman”, while still showcasing her trademark husky contralto throughout the album.Most of the songs featured on the album are covers, specifically songs that have been recorded by male artists, making this album’s title even more powerful.
