By the Numbers
It's a Man's World is an interpreter's covers-and-songwriters album. Cher sings songs by Marc Cohn, Don Henley, Paul Brady, and James Brown, working with British producers like Trevor Horn and Stephen Lipson. Her writing input is limited to shared co-credits on 'One by One' and 'The Gunman,' the two exceptions on a record otherwise built from other people's songs.
It's a Man's World is the twenty-second solo studio album by Cher, released in 1995 and a return to adult pop after her rock years. Recorded largely in the UK with producers including Christopher Neil, Stephen Lipson, and Trevor Horn, it leans on interpretations of songs by writers such as Marc Cohn, Don Henley, and Paul Brady, plus a closing cover of James Brown's title song. Cher's only writing input is shared co-credits on 'One by One' and 'The Gunman.' The album was a hit in the UK and one of her most critically liked records of the decade.
