Living Proof

《现世证明》（Living Proof）依然延续雪儿（Cher）沙哑音色和性感风情。极具欧式电子舞曲的超感动能和岁月堆积的歌艺风华再度将她推向了流行歌坛的最前沿。唱片首支单曲“没有你、音乐不再动听”（The Music's No Good Without You）依然和老友合作，曾勇夺英国金榜第8名。亮点：专辑出现的制作人几乎网罗现今欧陆顶尖制作高手，看来切尔是年龄涨，魅力更帐。

Living Proof is the twenty-fourth studio album by American singer Cher. It was first released on November 6, 2001 by WEA and distributed in North America by Warner Bros. Records in 2002. After the commercial success of Believe (1998), Cher began work on her twenty-fourth studio album in 2000. Rob Dickins was chosen as the executive producer for the album, enlisting producers such as Johan Åberg, Chris Cox, Tony Moran, Bruce Roberts, Wayne Rodriguez, Stargate, Chicane, Ray Hedges, and Mark Taylor. Its music incorporates dance-pop, disco and house styles.

Upon release, Living Proof received mixed reviews from music critics. Some of them praised the album itself, saying that it was even better than Believe, while others criticized the excessive use of Auto-Tune on Cher's vocals. Commercially, the album did not reach the same success as its predecessor, debuting at number nine on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 82,000 copies. It was received moderately in Europe, peaking within the top 30 in Sweden and the top 50 in the United Kingdom, despite being certified gold by both Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF) and British Phonographic Industry (BPI). Living Proof is estimated to have sold more than one million copies worldwide.

Six singles were released from Living Proof. "The Music's No Good Without You" was released as the album's worldwide lead single, and made Cher one of the few artists to have a top 10 hit in the United Kingdom in five consecutive decades. American lead single "Song for the Lonely" reached number one on the US Dance Club Songs chart. The following singles, "Alive Again", "A Different Kind of Love Song", "When the Money's Gone" and "Love One Another", failed to make much impact on the charts. To further promote the album, Cher made promotional television appearances and embarked on the Living Proof: The Farewell Tour, becoming the longest running concert tour ever in North America and one of the highest-grossing tours by a solo artist, earning an estimated US$250 million.

On March 9, 2024, it was announced by Dion Singer via Instagram that Living Proof would be released on vinyl for the first time on June 28, 2024. It was also announced that the Japanese only track “The Look” and the European only track "You Take It All" would be included on the deluxe edition of the album released on the same day.
