"A Different Kind of Love Song" is the second North American single by American singer-actress Cher from her twenty-fifth studio album, Living Proof. It was released in the end of 2001 by Warner Bros, and WEA.

Song information

At the time of the release of this single Cher was on her Farewell Tour, which prevented her from promoting the single. The song on its own did manage to enter a couple of Billboard charts, ultimately its only success were in the clubs and in dance single sales. Like Song for the Lonely, A Different Kind of Love Song was not released in Europe due to complications with Cher's record company.

Music video and promotion

Cher promoting "A Different Kind of Love Song" in Will & Grace.

No music video was made for this song, however the song was promoted on the comedy series, Will & Grace. In 2002 Cher made a special guest appearance in the episode, "AI: Artificial Insemination Part 2", as God. During the episode Cher appears in the character Jack's dream and suggests to him why he should remain an entertainer. Cher sings the chorus of the song while semi-naked men dressed as angels, shrouded in a drifting mist, dance behind her. Jack criticized her for shamelessly promoting her album in his dream sequence to which she replies, "Well, somebody's gotta pay for the fog and the dancing fairies!"

There are 4 remix videos: the Rosabel Attitude Vocal, the Rosabel Attitude Dub, the Ralphi's Alternative Vox and the Ralphi's Alternative Dub Cher-Oid Dub

Live performances

Cher performed the song on the following concert tour:

• Living Proof: The Farewell Tour (sung on the first leg of the tour only) and is included the DVD release of Cher: The Farewell Tour as a bonus song. Like her performance of Believe, Cher is lip-syncing, but through the entire song due to the complex changes in her vocals in the song. In the DVD you catch her accidentally missing her cue as she's so caught up dancing with her dancers.

The song was also performed on 50th American Bandstand.
