Not Commercial

Review by Sid Emerson

Not Commercial (stylized as not.com.mercial), released on November 8, 2000, is Cher's 23rd studio album and a unique entry in her discography. Created during a songwriters' workshop in France, the album features deeply personal and experimental songs, different from her usual style. It was released exclusively online, reflecting its title's implication of being non-mainstream. The album covers a range of themes from love to social commentary, showcasing Cher's versatility as an artist.
