Review by Sid Emerson
Believe, released on October 22, 1998, is Cher's 22nd studio album. It marked a significant shift in her musical style, embracing Euro disco and dance-pop. The album is notable for its use of Auto-Tune, particularly in the title track, which became a worldwide hit and led to the effect being known as "the Cher effect." Believe reached commercial success, topping charts globally and earning critical acclaim for its innovative sound and Cher's vocal performance.
