Album Review
I'd Rather Believe in You Review by Cher Fan Club
I'd Rather Believe in You, Cher's thirteenth studio album, was released in 1976. Despite its artistic merit, it did not achieve commercial success, largely due to inadequate promotion. Recorded during her pregnancy with Elijah Blue Allman, the album is noted for its personal touch and dedication to her son. It features a blend of pop songs, with "Long Distance Love Affair" as its lead single.
