Now comes the vocal interlude part at 02:25. And just like that, the chorus starts yet again at 01:58. Those ‘pre-chorus’ lines are really captivating, using heavy amounts of the Auto Tune effect. Anyways, there’s the second stanza starting from 01:27, and it ends like a breeze. That’s probably because it has the maximum Auto Tune effect added in the vocals. It totally steals the show! Add to that the notorious ‘Auto – Tune’ effect, and you’re ready to make a chart busting global phenomenon! The first chorus begins at 00:57, and it’s the chorus which actually wins the hearts of many a people. Well, about the vocals – Totally speechless! Cher has this REALLY deep voice, which just magnetizes you to her songs. The beats are really fast, and the song is extremely fast paced. The main beats take over at 00:28 the exact time when Cher starts her first stanza. The beats (The minor ones) set in at 00:14. The ‘After Love’ loop starts at 00:16, and increases in volume every time, and decreases again (It’s like a sinusoidal wave). Review: The song starts of with a synthesizer rift and some extra ‘Dance Pop’ effects. There is only one version of this song, viz. Click here for the detailed achievements. It peaked at the Number 1 position in over 23 countries! There are a LOT more achievements this song has accomplished, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to complete them in a single day. The song performed like no other worldwide. It was certified Platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), selling more than 1 million in the U.S. It became famous worldwide because of the heavy usage of (What all rappers use nowadays) the ‘ Auto – Tune‘ effect. It also received a nomination for Record of the Year. It went on to become one of the world’s most selling hits,selling over 10 MILLION singles worldwide! Whew! It also won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the 42nd Grammy Awards. History: “Believe” is the lead song from Cher‘s 1998 album “Believe” (It was her 23rd studio album). This is, and will always remain my favorite Cher song, and hence I’m reviewing it today. Though Cher is still active today, she doesn’t have that ‘drive’ in her anymore. Best party hit of the 90’s, if you ask me. That music, that DEEP, DEEP voice just makes you want to dance. It’s an absolute must – have on party goer’s playlists. Anyways, “Believe” remains one of the most frequently played songs in parties or clubs. It was night, the recliners were put out on the soft beach sand and this song was playing away in the background, while me and a few of my friends were relaxing, sipping soft drinks (Come on! I was 16 back then!). I still clearly remember that day (12th December, 2010 to be precise!) when we were in Goa, on the ‘ Baga‘ beach. Probably one of the most played club songs globally, “ Believe” is, without a doubt, Cher’s best song till date.
