Iconic and legendary performer Cher has released a remixed edition of her 1979 smash “Take Me Home” as a three-track digital EP, featuring a full extended mix, a radio edit and an instrumental version. Remixed by acclaimed producer John “M+M” Morales, this new reinvention of the disco classic is available now via Republic/UMe here: https://cher.lnk.to/TMHClassicMix.
The excitement surrounding “Take Me Home” was recently reinvigorated with the “Challenge Accepted” commercial, featuring Cher and current GRAMMY® nominee Saweetie for MAC Cosmetics, which had a musical bed using Morales’s recent remix.
Described as “one of the best producers and arrangers of disco music,” dance music legend Morales has logged over 800 remixes, including smash hits by the Temptations, Tina Turner, Jocelyn Brown, DeBarge, Rick James, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, among many others. More recently, Morales, after a decade-long hiatus, has been remixing more classics by Barry White, Teena Marie, Marvin Gaye, et al.
Cher’s first foray into disco, “Take Me Home” was a top ten pop hit on Casablanca Records in 1979 and was certified Gold that same year. Written by Michele Aller and the song’s producer, Bob Esty, it was the title track of her fifteenth solo album and marked a departure from the rock-inflected pop of her earlier material. Peaking at #8 on the Billboard Top 100 and #2 on the US Dance Club Songs, the track was a top twenty hit in Canada (#10) and Spain (#13). Billboard noted its “upbeat, cleanly produced sound with a light, easy melody. It's sure to catch the ears of the disco set.”
With over 100 million records sold worldwide in a career that spans six-plus decades, Cher remains one of the world’s best-selling artists, scoring among other extraordinary accomplishments 16 global No. 1 solo hit singles, including "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves,” “If I Could Turn Back Time” and “Believe.”
