Album Introduction
Love Hurts is the twenty-second studio album by Cher, born Cherilyn Sarkisian in El Centro, California, released in 1991 on Geffen Records. The album debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and spawned three UK Top 40 singles. The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss) — originally recorded by Betty Everett in 1964 and written by Rudy Clark — had appeared on the Mermaids soundtrack (1990) and reached UK No. 1, becoming one of the most immediately recognisable pop singles of the early 1990s. Love and Understanding followed at UK No. 10 and Save Up All Your Tears at UK No. 37. This pressing features the Mirror Image sleeve — a distinctive double-image design that makes it a particularly collectable variant of the album. The 12-track album demonstrates the full range of Cher's vocal personality, from the joyful exuberance of The Shoop Shoop Song to the emotional directness of the title track and the atmospheric rock of Fires of Eden.
Stand-Out Tracks
- The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss) — Rudy Clark's 1964 classic, originally recorded by Betty Everett; Cher's reading — joyful, completely uninhibited and delivered with total conviction — gave her one of the most immediately recognisable and commercially successful singles of her career. UK No. 1.
- Love and Understanding — A driving, melodically irresistible pop-rock track that gives the album one of its most energetic and immediately compelling moments; Cher's vocal is completely assured and the production gives the song a contemporary sheen of complete commercial precision. UK No. 10.
- Love Hurts — The title track and one of the album's most emotionally direct and vocally impressive ballads; a slow, atmospheric rock song that gives Cher the opportunity to demonstrate the full power and expressiveness of her voice in a context of sustained romantic longing.
- Save Up All Your Tears — A warm, mid-tempo pop-rock track that opens the album with complete commercial confidence; its combination of Cher's powerful vocal and a production of contemporary precision gives it a sustained energy and emotional directness. UK No. 37.
- Fires of Eden — One of the album's most atmospherically distinctive and musically ambitious tracks; a slow-building, rock-influenced ballad that demonstrates Cher's ability to inhabit a more dramatic and emotionally intense register with complete conviction.
