Cher has confirmed her appearance on Wu-Tang Clan's forthcoming one-of-a-kind album. The singer isis said to have recorded vocals on her own, rather than join the Wu-Tang rappers in the studio. "[Cher] recorded her parts separately, so I don't believe there was direct interaction," a spokesperson told Rolling Stone.
On Wednesday, Forbes released a short sample from Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, giving the public its first – and possibly its last – taste of the tightly guarded LP. Cher's voice can be heard at the end of the teaser; observant fans had already noted that an early Cher alias, Bonnie Jo Mason, is listed in the album's official credits.
It appears she didn't join her collaborator in the studio this time, either. That's a shame. It's what caused Gaga to initially dislike and not want to release "The Greatest Thing".
If I remember correctly, the Wus are going to only release one of the album and it's pretty much going to be under lock and key. Listeners can only listen to the album in person with headphones.
Let me go see if I can find the article where I read about it.
Edit: here it is!

Yesterday, Wu-Tang Clan previewed their forthcoming album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, the one-of-a-kind record that was recorded secretly and won't be made commercially available. (It'll be manufactured as a single copy and tour through museums and galleries before being sold to the highest bidder.)
