In a recent interview, the Believe singer shared details of her upcoming project, out October 20, teasing a handful of collaborations – a rare occurrence in a career that spans 26 studio albums.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the diva revealed this time around she’s called on some special guests for the record, sharing: “I really am proud of this. It’s a Cher Christmas album. It’s not your mother’s Christmas album.
“I’m really, really excited because there’s millions of people on it!” she added. “I’ve never had duets! I’ve never had people on any of my records! This was a last-minute thing… but they’re special. All of them.”
‘Christmas’ features contributions from Cyndi Lauper, Michael Bublé, Tyga, Stevie Wonder and Darlene Love, who has partnered with the pop icon to re-record her 1963 classic, Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).
In a post on Facebook, she shared: “SURPRISE!!! Here’s the EXCITING news that I’ve been HINTING to you all!!!! Can’t wait for you all to hear my duet of ‘Christmas Baby, Please Come Home’ with my dear friend Cher!!!
“I’m so excited for this!! This is one of the BEST duets I’ve EVER done!!! I’m so so proud and honored to be part of Cher’s FIRST EVER Christmas album and to be reconnected with Cherilyn Sarkisian whom I’ve known before she became CHER the mega star!!”
