''not.com.mercial'' is the 23rd album by American singer-actress Cher, released November 8, 2000. The album was released exclusively through Cher.com and Artist Direct, although there it eventually received a limited CD release. The album follows Cher's largest commercial hit ''Believe''. On December 21, 2012 the album was once again released via the Universal Music Group site Bravado as part of a reissue. == Album history == The majority of ''not.com.mercial'' was written by Cher in 1994 when she retreated to France. The song "Born With the Hunger" was written by Eikhardt, and "Classified 1A" is a newly remixed version of her 1970 Sonny Bono-penned song. The folk/rock-themed album with some slow ballads was proposed to Warner UK when Cher signed with the company in early 1995. Rob Dickins, head of Warner, reportedly turned down the project as being "not commercial". In 1999, Cher decided it was time to release the record as an exclusive for fans through her website and Artist Direct. Though no singles were released, the song "Born With the Hunger" has been featured on the international version of her 2003 compilation album ''The Very Best of Cher''. None of the songs have ever been sung live and little information is known about the album itself, although Cher's liner notes give a brief description of who/what inspired each song. Two songs were inspired by a married man she loved, one by her daughter's girlfriend, and another by soldiers and army men treated poorly. The song "(The Fall) Kurt's Blues", co-written with Pat MacDonald of Timbuk3 and Bruce Roberts, is her tribute to rock singer Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Not.com.mercial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
