Cher’s 14th album ‘Cherished’ has been restored and remastered for a new digital reissue.
The singer’s 1977 album, featuring the singles Pirate and War Paint and Soft Feathers, was the last in a series of commercially unsuccessful releases for Cher, failing to chart worldwide.
Pirate, however, did place at No. 93 on the US Billboard Hot 100 – her first chart placement in three years.
In subsequent interviews, the star has confessed her dissatisfaction with the LP, revealing she only recorded the album to fulfil her contract with Warner Records.
Despite her misgivings, the pop icon has unveiled a new remastered edition of the record, streaming exclusively on her YouTube channel.
According to Billboard, Cher owns the rights to her early Warner Bros. albums, also including ‘Stars’, ‘I’d Rather Believe In You‘ and her Allman and Woman collaboration with then-husband Greg Allman, ‘Two the Hard Way’.
The reissue comes after Cher recently teased new music is on the way, including a “big” collaboration with rapper Saweetie.
