Full album playlist: • Cher - not.com.mercial...
Cher's then lastest album, 1998's multi-platinum selling, dance-oriented 'Believe', shot the Goddess of Pop back to the top of charts around the world. Never one to do the expected, however, Cher's November 8, 2000, Internet-only release of 'not.com.mercial' reveals a collection of personal songs that offer fans "a specific look into my personality that [they] wouldn't otherwise be afforded," explains Cher.
'not.com.mercial' marks the first time the multi-faceted artist has written and recorded her own material. Cher describes 'not.com.mercial' as "very un-Cher like," and calls the album's songs, "dark. I don't have any expectations. I did it for myself," she explains. "It's so personal. I'm just sharing it with other people who might be interested and don't really care what reviewers think." In fact, Cher decided to put a warning label on the CD, as the subject manner is darker and the language more colorful than her commercial albums.
As such, the songs, ranging from a poignant ode to Kurt Cobain titled 'The Fall' (Kurt's Blues) to 'With or Without You', a simple, soulful ballad with Cher's distinctive timbre, to 'Sisters of Mercy', a musical exorcism reminiscent of 'Ode To Billy Joe', are a powerful, emotional collection. "The songs have stories behind them," explains Cher. "I wrote 'Fit to Fly' for my grandfather, who is a WW2 veteran, while 'Running' is about me. I've bolted from almost all of my relationships in one way or another. If you listen to the lyrics ('It's hard to hit a moving target...if they can't catch you they can't hurt you'), they're so specific."
'Sisters of Mercy' is about Cher as an infant and her brief time in a Catholic orphanage. "It wasn't as therapeutic for me as it was for my mother," Cher admits of the song. "I listened to the story she told me and wrote it, and when my mother heard the song she was crying, but I think it was good for her." Cher's personal favorite on not.com.mercial is 'The Fall': "I didn't know Kurt Cobain, but after he committed suicide I got up one morning and just wrote it," she notes. (Sample lyrics: "The good news, if there's any/that you ever lived at all/But our country kills its heroes/we just raise them for the fall.")
The original seeds of not.com.mercial were sown in 1994, when music mogul Miles Copeland invited Cher to his castle in France, where varying groups of songwriters gather to create and collaborate. "It was just a great experience," Cher recalls. "I wouldn't trade it for anything. I've always written poetry, and it never really occurred to me to put poetry to music." During her stay in France, Cher worked with songwriter Bruce Roberts, who also produced the album, and Pat Mac Donald of the band Timbuk 3, penning some 10 songs in five days (seven of which are featured on the CD). Back in the States, Cher spent a week with Letterman's band recording the tracks. Two songs were then added, the only tunes on 'not.com.mercial' from outside writers. Cher's pal Shirley Eikhard (Bonnie Raitt's 'Something To Talk About') contributed 'Born With The Hunger', while Sonny Bono penned 'Classified 1A', a Vietnam War protest song written in the 1970's, which was deemed "too controversial" at the time.
