Heart of Stone Cher , released on June 19, 1989 by Geffen Records .[3] [4] Heart of Stone Tour .
Background
[ edit ]
Heart of Stone was released in 1989 and was Cher's second studio album for Geffen Records . As with her previous album Cher Peter Asher , Jon Bon Jovi , Diane Warren , Guy Roche and Desmond Child performed songwriting and/or producing duties. Bonnie Tyler and Michael Bolton performed background vocals on the song "Emotional Fire", which was an outtake from Bolton's 1987 album The Hunger
Heart of Stone reached number ten in the United States, number seven in the United Kingdom, and by topping the charts in Australia, Heart of Stone became Geffen's first international number-one album.[5] Sonny & Cher 's debut album Look at Us Believe Living Proof The Very Best of Cher Closer to the Truth Dancing Queen Nielsen SoundScan , which began counting actual sales that same year.[6]
The original front cover album art is a painting by Octavio Ocampo that features Cher sitting beside a stone heart. However, when examined in its entirety and from a distance, it is clear this is also a painting of a human skull in profile (note the midriff folds in her dress forming the teeth; see infobox picture).[5]
Cher recorded two other songs for the album, "Don't Come Cryin' to Me" and "Some Guys", but neither made the final cut. A remixed version of "Don't Come Cryin' to Me" was included on the Geffen compilation album If I Could Turn Back Time: Cher's Greatest Hits If I Could Turn Back Time " 7- and 12-inch singles.
"Heart of Stone " and "If I Could Turn Back Time" were both slightly remixed for single release. The "Heart of Stone" remix is available on CD on the compilation If I Could Turn Back Time: Cher's Greatest Hits Geffen Records .
"After All " was used as the love theme for the film Chances Are
The album produced three top-10 hits as well as a top-20 hit with the title track.
